I return thanks to my God for all your remembrance,

Always in all my prayer for you all with joy making prayer,

As it is just for me to think this concerning you all, for my having you in the heart; both in my bonds, and in the justification and confirmation of the good news, ye all being partakers of grace with me.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

And this I prey, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all intelligence;

For you to try things differing; that ye may be pure and not stumbling to the day of Christ;

And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things. concerning me have rather gone to the advancement of the good news;

So that my bonds in Christ were manifest in the whole pretorium, and to all the rest;

And many of the brethren in the Lord, having trusted to my bonds, more abundantly dared to speak the word fearlessly.

Some truly of hired labor announce Christ, not purely, thinking to bring pressure upon my bonds:

For I know that this shall be turned to me for salvation by your prayer, and the furnishing more of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

According to my anxious expectation, and hope, that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but in all freedom of speech, as always, and now shall Christ be Magnified in my body, whether by life, whether by death.

For me to live is Christ, and to die gain.

And if to live in the flesh, this to me the fruit of work: and whether I shall be taken away I know not

That your boasting may abound in Jesus Christ in me, for my coming again to you.

Having the same struggle which ye saw in me, and now hear in me.

Fill ye up my joy, that ye may have the same in mind, having the same love, unanimous, being one in mind.

Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always listened, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and tremor effect your own salvation.

Holding on to the word of life; for boasting to me in the day of Christ, for I ran not in vain, nor was I wearied in vain.

And do ye also rejoice at the same, and rejoice together with me.

And ye know his proof, that, as a child to a father, he served with me in the good news.

Him therefore I truly hope to send, whenever I shall see from it the things concerning me.

And I thought necessary Epaphroditus, my brother, and cooperator, and fellow soldier, and your sent, and workman of my necessity, be sent to you.

For also he was sick near to death: but God compassionated him; and not him only, but also me, lest I should have grief upon grief.

Because for the work of Christ he drew near to death, having exposed the soul to danger, that he might fill up your want of service to me.

As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me is not slothful, and to you safe.

But what things were gain to me, these I have thought loss for Christ.

But surely, I also think all things to be loss for the superiority of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have been made to lose all things, and I think to be offscourings, that I shall gain Christ,

And be found in him, not having my justice, that of the law, but that by faith of Christ, the justice from God by faith:

Not that I have alreaedy attained or have been already perfected: and I pursue, if I also may overtake, for which also I was overtaken by Christ Jesus.

Be ye imitators together of me, brethren, and observe narrowly those walking thus, as ye have us for a type.

Therefore, my brethren, dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand ye in the Lord, dearly beloved.

And I also ask thee, worthy yoke-fellow, aid those women who fought in company with me in the good news, and with Clement, and the rest of my co-workers, whose names in the book of life.

And what things ye learned, and received, and heard, and saw in me, these do; and the God of peace shall be with you.

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that once already ye recovered new vigor; for thinking of me, upon whom ye were thinking, and ye had not time.

Not that I speak concerning want; for I have learned, among whom I am, to be satisfied with my condition.

I am strong for all things in Christ strengthening me.

But ye did well, participating together in my pressure.

And ye also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news, when I went out from Macedonia, no church participated with me in the word of donation and accepting, except ye alone.

For also in Thessalonica, and once, and twice, ye sent to my necessity.

Greet ye every one holy in Christ Jesus. The brethren with me greet you.
