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

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you??4 always, in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all, making supplication with joy??5 on account of your fellowship for the Gospel, from the first day until now;

the one, from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel;

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

Who, existing originally in the form of God, accounted it not a prize to he equal with God.

but emptied Himself, taking a slave's form, coming to be in the likeness of men;

Him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send immediately, as soon as I may look away from the things which concern me:

if by any means I may attain to the out-resurrection from the dead.

And know ye also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving, but ye only;

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