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

Being confident of this very thing, that he who has 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 affections of Jesus Christ.

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

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto 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 of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affections 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 which are Jesus Christ's.

Because for the work of Christ he was near unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of 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.

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

Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but rubbish, that I may win Christ,

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

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

I press toward 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 citizenship is in heaven; from which also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ:

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

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

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

Greet 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.
