Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

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

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

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

so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;

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

so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

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

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, 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.

But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

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

Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

Have this in your mind, 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 up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn't run in vain nor labor in vain.

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

because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

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

However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

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

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

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