Salutation
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
-
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
-
For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
-
filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
-
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in that I rejoice.
-
Yes, and I shall rejoice. For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
-
If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
-
so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
-
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
-
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
-
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
-
Timothy and Epaphroditus
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you.
-
They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
-
For we are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and glory in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh.
-
Indeed I count everything as 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 refuse, in order that I may gain Christ
-
Pressing toward the Goal
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
-
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 commonwealth is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
-
Final Greetings and Benediction
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.
