Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons of the church:

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

For I am certain of this very thing, that he by whom the good work was started in you will make it complete till the day of Jesus Christ:

For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

Being full of the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

For I am conscious that this will be for my salvation, through your prayer and the giving out of the stored wealth of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

But I am hoping in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you before long, so that I may be comforted when I have news of you.

For we are the circumcision, who give worship to God and have glory in Jesus Christ, and have no faith in the flesh:

Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

I go forward to the mark, even the reward of the high purpose of God in Christ Jesus.

For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

And the peace of God, which is deeper than all knowledge, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will give you all you have need of from the wealth of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

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