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

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day till now,

in Sawyer]those from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel,

Only conduct yourselves as citizens worthily of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, striving together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,

terrified in nothing by the adversaries, which is to them a token of destruction, but to you of salvation, and this from God;

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

but he abased himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of man,

and being found in form like a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient even till death, and the death of the cross.

that I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

But our kingdom is in heaven, from which also we expect the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

So, my beloved and much desired brothers, my joy and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, beloved.

And you know also, Philippians, that at the beginning of the gospel, when I went out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you only;

But I have all things and abound, I am fully supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you, a perfume of good odor, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
