Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

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

Being confident of this very thing, that he who hath begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

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

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ;

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife; and some also from good will.

The one preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.

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

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

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

That your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.

Only let your manner of life be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

For to you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

If there is therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.

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

Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Yes doubtless, and I count all things to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them to be dung, that I may win Christ,

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

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I pursue, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended by Christ Jesus.

I press towards the mark for the prize of the high calling 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 conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me.

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

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
