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

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

having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

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

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,

being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.

so that my bonds have become manifest as being in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;

Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.

What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

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

For for me to live is Christ, and to die gain;

But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, for it is very much better,

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.

Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;

because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,

If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to God the Father's glory.

holding forth the word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.

For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.

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

but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.

But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;

and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which would be on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God through faith,

Not that I have already obtained the prize, or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession of it, seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ Jesus.

I pursue, looking towards the goal, for the prize of the calling on high of God in Christ Jesus.

(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:

for our commonwealth has its existence in the heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour,

and the peace of God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.

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

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

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
