Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ. To all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

Grace be with you and peace from God our father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

and am surely certified of this, that he which began a good work in you shall go forth with it until the day of Jesus Christ,

For God beareth me record how greatly I long after you all from the very heart-root in Jesus Christ.

filled with the fruits of righteousness, which fruits come by Jesus Christ unto the glory and laud of God.

For I know that this shall chance to my salvation, through your prayer, and ministering of the spirit of Jesus Christ,

that ye may more abundantly rejoice in Jesus Christ through me, by my coming to you again.

Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus:

That in the name of Jesus should every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under earth;

and that all tongues should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord unto the praise of God the father.

I trust in the Lord Jesus for to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know what case ye stand in.

For all others seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ's.

For we are circumcision which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh:

Yea I think all things but loss for that excellent knowledge's sake of Christ Jesus my Lord. For whom I have counted all thing loss, and do judge them but dung, that I might win Christ,

Not as though I had already attained to it, either were already perfect: but I follow, if that I may comprehend that, wherein I am comprehended of Christ Jesus.

and press unto that mark appointed, to obtain the reward of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

But our conversation is in heaven, from whence we look for a saviour, even the Lord Jesus Christ,

And the peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts, and minds in Christ Jesus.

My God fulfill all your needs through his glorious riches in Jesus Christ.

Salute all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. {Sent from Rome by Epaphroditus.}
