Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the devoted adherents of Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the superintendents and assistants;

God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and give you peace.

For I am certain that he who has begun the good work in you will finish it for the Day of Jesus Christ.

For God is my witness how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus himself.

with your lives filled with the fruits which uprightness produces through Jesus Christ, to the honor and praise of God.

for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, all this will turn out for my highest welfare,

Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

so that in the name of Jesus everyone should kneel, in heaven and on earth and in the underworld,

and everyone should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, and thus glorify God the Father.

I hope, with the help of the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you soon, so that I, too, may be cheered by having news about you.

For they are all looking out for their own interests, not for those of Jesus Christ.

We are the true circumcision, who worship God by his Spirit, priding ourselves only on Christ Jesus, and not relying on physical advantages,

Why, I count everything as loss compared with the supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have lost everything, and think it rubbish, in order to gain Christ

Not that I have secured it yet, or already reached perfection, but I am pressing on to see if I can capture it, because I have been captured by Jesus Christ.

I am pressing toward the goal, for the prize to which God through Christ Jesus calls us upward.

But the commonwealth to which we belong is in heaven, and from it we are eagerly awaiting the coming of a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then, through your union with Christ Jesus, the peace of God, so far above any human thought, will guard your minds and thoughts.

My God will gloriously supply all your needs with his wealth, through your union with Christ Jesus.

The blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits.
