But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;

but they who are of a factious spirit preach Christ with no pure intent, thinking to stir up affliction to my bonds.

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

But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;

but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;

but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;

for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;

doing nothing in the spirit of faction, or in the spirit of vainglory, but in humility esteeming others as better than yourselves;

looking each of you not to his own interest, but each to the interest of others also.

but made himself of no consideration, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like men;

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

But if I am even poured out on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I know your state.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son serves a father, he served with me for the gospel.

but I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come soon.

Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and minister to my wants;

For indeed he was sick near to death; but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

But whatever things were gain to me, those for the sake of Christ I have counted but loss.

and be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God upon faith;

Not that I have already obtained, or have been already perfected; but I press on, if I may also lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ.

Brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing I do, forgetting the things that are behind, and stretching forth to the things that are before,

Be anxious about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God;

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived again in your care for my welfare; for which indeed ye cared before, but lacked opportunity.

And ye yourselves also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in an account of giving and receiving, but ye only;

Not that I seek for such a gift, but I do seek for fruit that may abound to your account.

But I have all, and abound; I am full, having received from Epaphroditus what was sent from you, a sweet odor, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

But my God will supply all your need according to his riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.

All the saints salute you, but especially they who are of Caesars household.
