Because of your help in giving the good news from the first day till now;

Now it is my purpose to make clear to you, brothers, that the cause of the good news has been helped by my experiences;

In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

Having no fear of those who are against you; which is a clear sign of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;

Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

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,

So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

For I have no man of like mind who will truly have care for you.

For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.

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

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.

For there are those, of whom I have given you word before, and do so now with sorrow, who are haters of the cross of Christ;

Have no cares; but in everything with prayer and praise put your requests before God.

And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

Now to God our Father be glory for ever and ever. So be it.
