Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and ministers;

as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.

As many therefore as are perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also God shall reveal to you.

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

yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names are in the book of life.

For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are noble, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are amiable, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me salute you.
