Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For I am confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

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

so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ;

having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

so that my imprisonment for Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, but thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,

as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be ashamed in anything, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better;

so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

For to you it has been granted for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for his sake,

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

because he almost died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

For we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

But whatever was gain to me, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

More than that, I count everything to be loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

Not that I have already obtained this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

But our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
