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

On account of your contribution unto the glad-message, from the first day until the present:

And not being affrighted in anything by the opposers, - the which, is, unto them, a token of destruction, although of your salvation, and this from God;

Who, in form of God, subsisting, not, a thing to be seized, accounted the being equal with God,

But, himself, emptied, taking, a servant's form, coming to be, in men's likeness;

All things, be doing, apart from murmurings and disputings;

Him, indeed, therefore, am I hoping to send - as soon as I can look off from the things that concern myself, - forthwith.

Ye know, moreover, even ye, Philippians, - that, in the beginning of the glad-message, when I went forth from Macedonia, not, so much as one assembly, with me had fellowship - in the matter of giving and receiving - save, ye alone, -

But I have all things in full, and have more than enough, I am filled, having welcomed from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, - a fragrance of sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing unto God.
