so that you may be able to choose what is best and be pure and blameless until the day when the Messiah returns,

Then your rejoicing in the Messiah Jesus will increase along with mine when I visit with you again.

And so, when Jesus' name is called, the knees of everyone should fall, wherever they're residing.

And so, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I am absent, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

as you hold firmly to the word of life. Then I will be proud when the Messiah returns that I did not run in vain or work hard in vain.

Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon so that I can be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

You Philippians also know that in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church participated with me in the matter of giving and receiving except for you.
