From Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons.

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

For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

For God is my witness that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

so that what you can be proud of may increase because of me in Christ Jesus, when I come back to you.

You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow -- in heaven and on earth and under the earth --

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be encouraged by hearing news about you.

Others are busy with their own concerns, not those of Jesus Christ.

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, exult in Christ Jesus, and do not rely on human credentials

More than that, I now regard all things as liabilities compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things -- indeed, I regard them as dung! -- that I may gain Christ,

Not that I have already attained this -- that is, I have not already been perfected -- but I strive to lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus also laid hold of me.

with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

But our citizenship is in heaven -- and we also await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

And the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply your every need according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Give greetings to all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me here send greetings.

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