For your fellowship in the gospel, from the first day until now:

Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things concerning me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ:

According to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall be ashamed in nothing, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

But if I am to live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour, and what I should chuse, I know not.

And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

Having the same conflict, which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

That at the name of Jesus every knee might bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth:

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

Now I trust in the Lord Jesus, to send Timotheus to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged, when I know your state.

But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

Him therefore I hope to send, as soon as ever I know how it will go with me.

He was indeed sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me likewise, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his own life, to supply your deficiency of service toward me.

beware of the concision, For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death:

(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction,

I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful; but ye lacked opportunity.

I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound, every where and in every thing I am instructed, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to want.

And ye know likewise, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated to me in respect of giving and receiving but you only.

Now unto our God and Father be glory for ever and ever.
