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

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

having confidence as to this same thing, that the one having begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Jesus Christ:

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

in order that you may distinguish those things which differ; that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ;

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the pretorian army, and to all the rest;

Some indeed through envy and strife, and some through good will, are preaching Christ:

the former from self-seeking are proclaiming Christ insincerely, thinking that they will add affliction to my bonds.

For what is it? moreover that in every place, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and I rejoice in this, yes, and I will rejoice.

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

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

For Christ is my life, and death is my gain.

But I am in a strait between two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ; for this is far better:

in order that your rejoicing in Christ Jesus may abound in me through my coming again unto you.

Only live worthily of the gospel of Christ: in order that, whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear those things concerning you, that you are standing in one spirit, with one soul contending for the faith of the gospel;

because the blessing is conferred on you in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but indeed to suffer for him:

If then there is any consolation in Christ, if there is any comfort of divine love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercies,

Think the same thing among yourselves, which is also in Christ Jesus:

and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

having the word of life; unto my boasting in the day of Christ, because I did not run in vain, neither did I labor in vain.

for all are seeking after their own, and not the things of Jesus Christ.

because he was nigh unto death on account of the work of Christ, having jeoparded his life, in order that he might fulfill your deficiency of ministry towards me.

For we are the circumcision, who serve the Spirit of God, and boast in Christ Jesus, also having no confidence in the flesh:

Those things which were gained to me, these I counted loss for the sake of Christ.

Yes truly, I even counted all things loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom I suffer the loss of all things, and I consider them but excrements, that I may gain Christ,

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

Not that I already received it, or have already been made perfect: but I persevere, if I may receive that for which I have indeed been received by Christ Jesus.

but there is one thing, indeed forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forward to those which are before, I press toward the goal unto the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

For many walk about, of whom I frequently spoke to you, and now I speak even weeping, the enemies of the cross of Christ:

For our citizenship is in the heavens; whence we are indeed looking for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

And the peace of God, that passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

But my God will 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.
