But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

But if I go on living in the flesh--if this is the fruit of my work--then I do not see what decision to make.

Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

And be seen in him, not having my righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it.

But I will not say anything about my needs, for I am able, wherever I am, to be dependent on myself.

But you did well to have care for me in my need.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

Not that I am looking for an offering, but for fruit which may be put to your credit.
