Contents
1 Paul and
Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus
which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2 Grace be un=
to
you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my =
God
upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in e=
very
prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your
fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 Being confi=
dent
of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perfor=
m it
until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 Even as it =
is meet
for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as
both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all=
are
partakers of my grace.
8 For God is =
my
record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I =
pray,
that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgmen=
t;
10 That ye may approve thi=
ngs
that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day=
of
Christ.
11 Being filled with the f=
ruits
of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of G=
od.
12 But I would ye should
understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out
rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13 So that my bonds in Chr=
ist
are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14 And many of the brethre=
n in
the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word
without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Chri=
st
even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of
contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love,
knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstand=
ing,
every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I ther=
ein
do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19 For I know that this sh=
all
turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of J=
esus
Christ,
20 According to my earnest
expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with =
all
boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whet=
her
it be by life, or by death.
21 For to me to live is Ch=
rist,
and to die is gain.
22 But if I live in the fl=
esh,
this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 For I am in a strait be=
twixt
two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:=
24 Nevertheless to abide i=
n the
flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confide=
nce, I
know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and =
joy
of faith;
26 That your rejoicing may=
be
more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only let your conversat=
ion be
as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or el=
se
be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, wi=
th
one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrifie=
d by
your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to yo=
u of
salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is give=
n in
the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his
sake;
30 Having the same conflict
which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
1 If there be
therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellows=
hip
of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye m=
y joy,
that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mi=
nd.
3 Let nothing=
be
done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem
other better than themselves.
4 Look not ev=
ery
man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mi=
nd be
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being =
in the
form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made hi=
mself
of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in =
the
likeness of men:
8 And being f=
ound
in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, ev=
en
the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore G=
od
also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every nam=
e:
10 That at the name of Jes=
us
every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth;
11 And that every tongue s=
hould
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, =
as ye
have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which wor=
keth
in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without
murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameles=
s and
harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word =
of
life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain,
neither laboured in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offere= d upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. <= o:p>
18 For the same cause also=
do ye
joy, and rejoice with me.
19&=
nbsp; But
I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also m=
ay
be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likem=
inded,
who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own,=
not
the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22 But ye know the proof o=
f him,
that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to=
send
presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord=
that
I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it neces=
sary
to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and
fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you=
all,
and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.=
27 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.
28&=
nbsp; I
sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may
rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore i=
n the
Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 Because for the work of
Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack =
of
service toward me.
1 Finally, my
brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indee=
d is
not grievous, but for you it is safe.
2 Beware of d=
ogs,
beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
3 For we are =
the
circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus,=
and
have no confidence in the flesh.
4 Though I mi=
ght
also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5 Circumcised=
the
eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of =
the
Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
6 Concerning =
zeal,
persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law,
blameless.
7 But what th=
ings
were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtle=
ss,
and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Chri=
st
Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count
them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be foun=
d in
him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which=
is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know him, an=
d the
power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made
conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had alr=
eady
attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may
apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not m=
yself
to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which=
are
behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark=
for
the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as ma=
ny as
be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God
shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto w=
e have
already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.=
17 Brethren, be followers
together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. =
18 (For many walk, of whom=
I
have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemi=
es
of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destructio=
n, whose
God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly
things.)
20 For our conversation is=
in
heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vi=
le
body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the
working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1 Therefore, =
my
brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in =
the
Lord, my dearly beloved.
2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. <= o:p>
3 And I intre=
at
thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the
gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names a=
re
in the book of life.
4 Rejoice in =
the
Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.
5 Let your
moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be careful =
for
nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let
your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the pea=
ce of
God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds thro=
ugh
Christ Jesus.
8 Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoe=
ver
things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there =
be
any praise, think on these things.
9 Those thing=
s,
which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and
the God of peace shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced in the L=
ord
greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherei=
n ye
were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
11 Not that I speak in res=
pect
of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be cont=
ent.
12 I know both how to be a=
based,
and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed bot=
h to
be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things thr=
ough Christ
which strengtheneth me.
14 Notwithstanding ye have=
well
done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
15 Now ye Philippians know=
also,
that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no chu=
rch
communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
16 For even in Thessalonic=
a ye
sent once and again unto my necessity.
17 Not because I desire a =
gift:
but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
18 But I have all, and abo=
und: I
am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from yo=
u,
an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
19 But my God shall supply=
all
your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Fa=
ther be
glory for ever and ever. Amen.
21 Salute every saint in C=
hrist
Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
22 All the saints salute y=
ou,
chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
23 The grace of our Lord J=
esus
Christ be with you all. Amen.
