being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Brothers, I do not regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,

Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

More than that, I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word without fear.

But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

I have sent him all the more eagerly, therefore, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and that I may be less anxious.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,

Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Grace to you, and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;

And the things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, do these things. And the God of peace will be with you.
