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

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

having become persuaded of this very thing, that He Who began in you a good work will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ;

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

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

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

that my bonds became manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to all the rest;

Some, indeed, preach Christ even because of envy and strife; and some also of good-will;

but the other proclaim Christ of contention, not sincerely, thinking to add tribulation to my bonds.

What then? save that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed; and in this I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

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

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

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

but I am constrained by the two; having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it is far better;

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

Only demean yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ; that, whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the Gospel;

but to you it was granted as a favor in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but in His behalf to suffer also;

If there is, therefore, any consolation in Christ, if any encouragement of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender affections and compassions,

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;

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

holding forth the word of life, for an occasion of glorying to me at the day of Christ, that I ran not in vain, neither labored in vain.

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

because, for the work of Christ, he came near to death; imperiling his soul, that he might fill up your lack of ministry toward me.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in flesh:

But what things were gain to me, these I accounted loss for Christ.

Nay, more, I even account all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I suffered the loss of all things, and account them refuse, that I may gain Christ.

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith in Christ??he righteousness which is of God by faith:

Not that I already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

I am pressing on toward the mark, for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

For many are walking, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.

For our citizenship is in Heaven, whence also we are waiting for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

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

But my God will liberally supply all your need according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.

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

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
