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

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God,

but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.

For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as regards giving and receiving, except you alone.

But I have all, and abound. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things which you sent, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God.
