Grace be unto you, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For your fellowship in the gospel, from the first day until now:

Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God;

Yet emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

that I may gain Christ, And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith:

who mind earthly things) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ,

And ye know likewise, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated to me in respect of giving and receiving but you only.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received of Epaphroditus the things which came from you, an odour of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.
