May unearned favor and peace be upon you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

so that the whole court and publick are well appriz'd that I am a prisoner upon the account of Jesus Christ.

Some truly of hired labor announce Christ, not purely, thinking to bring pressure upon my bonds:

for it is a favour bestowed upon you, that you not only believe on Christ, but suffer also for his sake,

Do nothing out of a spirit of contention, or for vain-glory, but modestly look upon others as if they were better than yourselves.

Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Though the divine nature was his from the beginning, yet he did not look upon equality with God as above all things to be clung to,

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And, in fashion, being found, as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient as far as death, yea, death upon a cross.

Wherefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed upon Him the name which is above every name;

that at the name of Jesus every knee must bow, of things in heaven and things upon the earth and things beneath the earth,

Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

and you too should be glad and congratulate me upon that account.

Ye know the proof of him, how that as a son with the father, so with me bestowed he his labour upon the gospel.

For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

for he was upon the brink of death for the service of Christ, having expos'd his life to the greatest dangers, to perform those kind offices, which you could not do yourselves.

be upon your guard against snarlers, against the contrivances of the crafty, against the spurious breed;

For it is we who are the circumcised--we whose worship is prompted by the Spirit of God, who exult in Christ Jesus, and who do not rely upon external privileges;

Though I, if any man, have cause to rely even upon them. If any one thinks he can rely upon external privileges, far more can I!

And be found in him - not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, -

Not that I have already obtained or have already been fully perfected, but I press forward, if also I might seize upon that for which also I was seized by Christ Jesus.

Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus wise minded: and if ye be otherwise minded, I pray God open even this unto you.

tread in my steps, my brethren, and fix your eyes upon those who follow the example I give you.

Whose, end, is destruction, whose, God, is the belly, and whose , glory, is in their shame, who, upon the earthly things, are resolved.

As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as many as are grave, as many as are righteous, as many as are pure, as many as are lovely, as many as are of good report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things think upon;

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that once already ye recovered new vigor; for thinking of me, upon whom ye were thinking, and ye had not time.

And you Philippians yourselves know that immediately after the good news was first preached to you, when I left Macedonia, no church but yours went into partnership with me to open an account of credits and debits.
