I thank my God upon every remembrance of you??4 always, in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all, making supplication with joy??5 on account of your fellowship for the Gospel, from the first day until now;

Now I wish you to know, brethren, that the things relating to me have resulted rather in the furtherance of the Gospel;

For I know that this will turn out for my salvation, through your supplication and a supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall in nothing be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life, or through death.

But if it be to live in flesh, this is to me a fruit of labor; and what I shall choose I know not;

And, having become assured of this, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.

that, in the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of beings in Heaven, and on earth, and under the earth,

So then, my beloved, as ye always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

For I have no one like-minded, who, indeed, will sincerely care for your interests;

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child with a father, he served with me in furtherance of the Gospel.

For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in flesh:

Nay, more, I even account all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I suffered the loss of all things, and account them refuse, that I may gain Christ.

that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

For many are walking, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ.

But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye revived your thought in my behalf, for whom ye were taking thought, but ye lacked opportunity.

I both know how to be humbled, and I know how to abound: in everything, and in all things, I have learned both to be well fed, and to be hungry, both to abound, and to be in want.

And know ye also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the Gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving, but ye only;

Now to our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
