Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
-
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
-
being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
-
God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
-
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
-
for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.
-
so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
-
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
-
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
-
and every tongue acknowledge 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, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
-
For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
-
For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—
-
What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ
-
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
-
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
-
For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.
-
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
-
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
-
Final Greetings
Greet all God’s people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings.
-
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
