1 Paul3972 and Timotheus,5095 the servants1401 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to all3956 the saints40 in Christ5547 Jesus2424 which3588 are at1722 Philippi,5375 with the bishops1985 and deacons:1249
2 Grace5485 be to you, and peace,1515 from God2316 our Father,3962 and from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547
3 I thank2168 my God2316 on every3956 remembrance3417 of you,
4 Always3842 in every3956 prayer1162 of my3450 for you all3956 making4160 request1162 with joy,5479
5 For your5216 fellowship2842 in the gospel2098 from the first4413 day2250 until891 now;3568
6 Being confident3982 of this5124 very846 thing, that he which has begun1728 a good18 work2041 in you will perform2005 it until891 the day2250 of Jesus2424 Christ:5547
7 Even2531 as it is meet1342 for me to think5426 this5124 of you all,3956 because1223 I have2192 you in my heart;2588 inasmuch1909 3745 as both5037 in my bonds,1199 and in the defense627 and confirmation951 of the gospel,2098 you all3956 are partakers4791 of my grace.5485
8 For God2316 is my record,3144 how5613 greatly1971 I long1971 after1971 you all3956 in the bowels4698 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547
9 And this5124 I pray,4336 that your5216 love26 may abound4052 yet2089 more3123 and more3123 in knowledge1922 and in all3956 judgment;144
10 That you may approve1381 things that are excellent;1308 that you may be sincere1506 and without677 offense677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ.5547
11 Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness,1343 which3588 are by Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the glory1391 and praise1868 of God.2316
12 But I would you should understand,1097 brothers,80 that the things which happened to me have fallen2064 out rather3123 to the furtherance4297 of the gospel;2098
13 So5620 that my bonds1199 in Christ5547 are manifest5318 in all3650 the palace,4232 and in all3956 other3062 places;
14 And many4119 of the brothers80 in the Lord,2962 waxing3982 confident3982 by my bonds,1199 are much4056 more4056 bold5111 to speak2980 the word3056 without870 fear.870
15 Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of envy5355 and strife;2054 and some5100 also2532 of good2107 will:2107
16 The one3303 preach2605 Christ5547 of contention,2052 not sincerely,55 supposing3633 to add2018 affliction2347 to my bonds:1199
17 But the other of love,26 knowing1492 that I am set2749 for the defense627 of the gospel.2098
18 What5101 then?1063 notwithstanding,4133 every3956 way,5158 whether1535 in pretense,4392 or1535 in truth,226 Christ5547 is preached;2605 and I therein1722 5129 do rejoice,5463 yes,235 and will rejoice.5463
19 For I know1492 that this5124 shall turn576 to my salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer,1162 and the supply2024 of the Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547
20 According2596 to my earnest603 expectation603 and my hope,1680 that in nothing3762 I shall be ashamed,153 but that with all3956 boldness,3954 as always,3842 so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in my body,4983 whether1535 it be by life,2222 or1535 by death.2288
21 For to me to live2198 is Christ,5547 and to die599 is gain.2771
22 But if1487 I live2198 in the flesh,4561 this5124 is the fruit2590 of my labor:2041 yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I know1107 not.
23 For I am in a strait4912 between1537 two,1417 having2192 a desire1939 to depart,360 and to be with Christ;5547 which is far4183 3123 better:2909
24 Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in the flesh4561 is more316 needful316 for you.
25 And having this5124 confidence,3982 I know1492 that I shall abide3306 and continue4839 with you all3956 for your5216 furtherance4297 and joy5479 of faith;4102
26 That your5216 rejoicing2745 may be more abundant4052 in Jesus2424 Christ5547 for me by my coming3952 to you again.3825
27 Only3440 let your conversation4176 be as it becomes516 the gospel2098 of Christ:5547 that whether1535 I come2064 and see1492 you, or1535 else be absent,548 I may hear191 of your5216 affairs,4012 that you stand4739 fast in one1520 spirit,4151 with one3391 mind5590 striving4866 together4866 for the faith4102 of the gospel;2098
28 And in nothing3367 terrified4426 by your3588 adversaries:480 which3748 is to them an evident1732 token1732 of perdition,684 but to you of salvation,4991 and that of God.2316
29 For to you it is given5483 in the behalf5228 of Christ,5547 not only3440 to believe4100 on1519 him, but also2532 to suffer3958 for his sake;
30 Having2192 the same846 conflict73 which3634 you saw1492 in me, and now3568 hear191 to be in me.
1 If1487 there be therefore3767 any1536 consolation3874 in Christ,5547 if1487 any1536 comfort3890 of love,26 if1487 any1536 fellowship2842 of the Spirit,4151 if1487 any1536 bowels4698 and mercies,3628
2 Fulfill4137 you my joy,5479 that you be like minded,3588 5426 2192 having the same846 love,26 being of one4861 accord, of one3888 1520 mind.5426
3 Let nothing3367 be done through2596 strife2052 or2228 vainglory;2754 but in lowliness5012 of mind5012 let each240 esteem2233 other240 better5242 than themselves.1438
4 Look4648 not every1538 man on his own1438 things, but every1538 man also2532 on the things of others.2087
5 Let this5124 mind5426 be in you, which3739 was also2532 in Christ5547 Jesus:2424
6 Who, being5225 in the form3444 of God,2316 thought2233 it not robbery725 to be equal2470 with God:2316
7 But made1096 himself1438 of no5013 reputation,2758 and took2983 on him the form3444 of a servant,1401 and was made1096 in the likeness3667 of men:444
8 And being found2147 in fashion4976 as a man,444 he humbled5013 himself,1438 and became1096 obedient5255 to death,2288 even1161 the death2288 of the cross.4716
9 Why1352 God2316 also2532 has highly5251 exalted5251 him, and given5483 him a name3686 which3588 is above5228 every3956 name:3686
10 That at1722 the name3686 of Jesus2424 every3956 knee1119 should bow,2578 of things in heaven,2032 and things in earth,1919 and things under2709 the earth;2709
11 And that every3956 tongue1100 should confess1843 that Jesus2424 Christ5547 is Lord,2962 to the glory1391 of God2316 the Father.3962
12 Why,5620 my beloved,27 as you have always3842 obeyed,5219 not as in my presence3952 only,3440 but now3568 much4183 more3123 in my absence,666 work2716 out your1438 own1438 salvation4991 with fear5401 and trembling.5156
13 For it is God2316 which3588 works1754 in you both2532 to will2309 and to do1754 of his good pleasure.2107
14 Do4160 all3956 things without5565 murmurings1112 and disputings:1261
15 That you may be blameless273 and harmless,185 the sons5043 of God,2316 without298 rebuke,298 in the middle3319 of a crooked4646 and perverse1294 nation,1074 among1722 whom3739 you shine5316 as lights5458 in the world;2889
16 Holding1907 forth1907 the word3056 of life;2222 that I may rejoice2745 in the day2250 of Christ,5547 that I have not run5143 in vain,2756 neither3761 labored2872 in vain.2756
17 Yes,235 and if1487 I be offered4689 on the sacrifice2378 and service3009 of your5216 faith,4102 I joy,5463 and rejoice4796 with you all.3956
18 For the same846 cause also2532 do you joy,5463 and rejoice4796 with me.
19 But I trust1679 in the Lord2962 Jesus2424 to send3992 Timotheus5095 shortly5030 to you, that I also2504 may be of good comfort,2174 when I know1097 your5216 state.3588 4012
20 For I have2192 no3762 man3762 like minded,2473 who3748 will naturally1104 care3309 for your5216 state.3588 4012
21 For all3956 seek2212 their own, not the things which are Jesus2424 Christ's.5547
22 But you know1097 the proof1382 of him, that, as a son5043 with the father,3962 he has served1398 with me in the gospel.2098
23 Him therefore3767 I hope1679 to send3992 presently,1824 so5613 soon as I shall see542 how4012 it will go with me.
24 But I trust3982 in the Lord2962 that I also2532 myself shall come2064 shortly.5030
25 Yet1161 I supposed2233 it necessary316 to send3992 to you Epaphroditus,1891 my brother,80 and companion4904 in labor,4904 and fellow soldier,4961 but your5216 messenger,652 and he that ministered3011 to my wants.5532
26 For he longed1971 after1971 you all,3956 and was full of heaviness,85 because1360 that you had heard191 that he had been sick.770
27 For indeed2532 he was sick770 near3897 to death:2288 but God2316 had mercy1653 on him; and not on him only,3440 but on me also,2532 lest2443 3361 I should have2192 sorrow3077 on sorrow.3077
28 I sent3992 him therefore3767 the more4708 carefully,4708 that, when you see1492 him again,3825 you may rejoice,5463 and that I may be the less253 sorrowful.253
29 Receive4327 him therefore3767 in the Lord2962 with all3956 gladness;5479 and hold2192 such5108 in reputation:1784
30 Because3754 for the work2041 of Christ5547 he was near1448 to death,2288 not regarding3851 his life,5590 to supply378 your5216 lack5303 of service3009 toward4314 me.
1 Finally,3063 my brothers,80 rejoice5463 in the Lord.2962 To write1125 the same846 things to you, to me indeed3303 is not grievous,3636 but for you it is safe.804
2 Beware991 of dogs,2965 beware991 of evil2556 workers,2040 beware991 of the concision.2699
3 For we are the circumcision,4061 which3588 worship3000 God2316 in the spirit,4151 and rejoice2744 in Christ5547 Jesus,2424 and have no3756 confidence3982 in the flesh.4561
4 Though2539 I might also2532 have2192 confidence4006 in the flesh.4561 If1487 any1536 other243 man thinks1380 that he has whereof he might trust3982 in the flesh,4561 I more:3123
5 Circumcised4061 the eighth3637 day,2250 of the stock1085 of Israel,2474 of the tribe5443 of Benjamin,958 an Hebrew1446 of the Hebrews;1445 as touching2596 the law,3551 a Pharisee;5330
6 Concerning2596 zeal,2205 persecuting1377 the church;1577 touching2596 the righteousness1343 which3588 is in the law,3551 blameless.273
7 But what3748 things were gain2771 to me, those5023 I counted2233 loss2209 for Christ.5547
8 Yes235 doubtless,3304 and I count2233 all3956 things but loss2209 for the excellency5242 of the knowledge1108 of Christ5547 Jesus2424 my Lord:2962 for whom3739 I have2192 suffered2210 the loss2210 of all3956 things, and do count2233 them but dung,4657 that I may win2770 Christ,5547
9 And be found2147 in him, not having2192 my1699 own1699 righteousness,1343 which3588 is of the law,3551 but that which3588 is through1223 the faith4102 of Christ,5547 the righteousness1343 which3588 is of God2316 by faith:4102
10 That I may know1097 him, and the power1411 of his resurrection,386 and the fellowship2842 of his sufferings,3804 being made4832 conformable4832 to his death;2288
11 If1513 by any4458 means4458 I might attain2658 to the resurrection1815 of the dead.3498
12 Not as though3754 I had already2235 attained,2983 either2228 were already2235 perfect:5048 but I follow1377 after, if1499 that I may apprehend2638 that for which3739 also2532 I am apprehended2638 of Christ5547 Jesus.2424
13 Brothers,80 I count3049 not myself to have apprehended:2638 but this one1520 thing1520 I do, forgetting1950 those3588 things which are behind,3694 and reaching1901 forth1901 to those3588 things which are before,1715
14 I press1377 toward2596 the mark4649 for the prize1017 of the high507 calling2821 of God2316 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424
15 Let us therefore,3767 as many3745 as be perfect,5046 be thus5124 minded:5426 and if1487 in any1536 thing you be otherwise2088 minded,5426 God2316 shall reveal601 even2532 this5124 to you.
16 Nevertheless,4133 whereto1519 3739 we have already5348 attained,5348 let us walk4748 by the same846 rule,2583 let us mind5426 the same846 thing.
17 Brothers,80 be followers4831 together4831 of me, and mark4648 them which walk4043 so3779 as you have2192 us for an ensample.5179
18 (For many4183 walk,4043 of whom3739 I have2192 told3004 you often,3740 and now3568 tell3004 you even2532 weeping,2799 that they are the enemies2190 of the cross4716 of Christ:5547
19 Whose3739 end5056 is destruction,684 whose3739 God2316 is their belly,2836 and whose3588 glory1391 is in their shame,152 who3588 mind5426 earthly1919 things.)
20 For our conversation4175 is in heaven;3772 from where3739 also2532 we look553 for the Savior,4990 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ:5547
21 Who shall change3345 our vile5014 body,4983 that it may be fashioned4832 like4832 to his glorious1391 body,4983 according2596 to the working1753 whereby3588 he is able1410 even2532 to subdue5293 all3956 things to himself.1438
1 Therefore,5620 my brothers 80dearly beloved27 and longed1973 for, my joy5479 and crown,4735 so3779 stand4739 fast in the Lord,2962 my dearly beloved.27
2 I beseech3870 Euodias,2136 and beseech3870 Syntyche,4941 that they be of the same846 mind5426 in the Lord.2962
3 And I entreat2065 you also,2532 true1103 yoke fellow,4805 help4815 those846 women which3748 labored4866 with me in the gospel,2098 with Clement2815 also,2532 and with other3062 my fellow laborers,4904 whose3739 names3686 are in the book976 of life.2222
4 Rejoice5463 in the Lord2962 always:104 and again3825 I say,2046 Rejoice.5463
5 Let your5216 moderation1933 be known1097 to all3956 men.444 The Lord2962 is at1451 hand.1451
6 Be careful3309 for nothing;3367 but in every3956 thing by prayer4335 and supplication1162 with thanksgiving2169 let your5216 requests155 be made1107 known1107 to God.2316
7 And the peace1515 of God,2316 which3588 passes5242 all3956 understanding,3563 shall keep5432 your5216 hearts2588 and minds3540 through1722 Christ5547 Jesus.2424
8 Finally,3063 brothers,80 whatever3745 things are true,227 whatever3745 things are honest,4586 whatever3745 things are just,1342 whatever3745 things are pure,53 whatever3745 things are lovely,4375 whatever3745 things are of good2163 report;2163 if1487 there be any1536 virtue,703 and if1487 there be any1536 praise,1868 think3049 on these5023 things.
9 Those5023 things, which3739 you have2192 both2532 learned,3129 and received,3880 and heard,191 and seen1492 in me, do:4238 and the God2316 of peace1515 shall be with you.
10 But I rejoiced5463 in the Lord2962 greatly,3171 that now2236 at4218 the last4218 your3588 care5426 of me has flourished330 again;330 wherein1909 3757 you were also2532 careful,5426 but you lacked170 opportunity.170
11 Not that I speak3004 in respect2596 of want:5304 for I have learned,3129 in whatever3588 3739 state I am,1510 therewith to be content.842
12 I know1492 both2532 how to be abased,5013 and I know1492 how to abound:4052 every3956 where1722 3956 and in all3956 things I am instructed3453 both2532 to be full5526 and to be hungry,3983 both2532 to abound4052 and to suffer5302 need.
13 I can2480 do2480 all3956 things through1722 Christ5547 which3588 strengthens1743 me.
14 Notwithstanding4133 you have well2573 done,4160 that you did communicate4790 with my affliction.2347
15 Now1161 you Philippians5374 know1492 also,2532 that in the beginning746 of the gospel,2098 when3753 I departed1831 from Macedonia,3109 no3762 church1577 communicated2841 with me as concerning1519 3056 giving1394 and receiving,3028 but you only.3441
16 For even2532 in Thessalonica2332 you sent3992 once530 and again1364 to my necessity.5532
17 Not because3754 I desire1934 a gift:1390 but I desire1934 fruit2590 that may abound4121 to your5216 account.3056
18 But I have568 all,3956 and abound:4052 I am full,4137 having received1209 of Epaphroditus1891 the things which were sent from you, an odor3744 of a sweet2175 smell,2175 a sacrifice2378 acceptable,1184 well pleasing2101 to God.2316
19 But my God2316 shall supply4137 all3956 your5216 need5532 according2596 to his riches4149 in glory1391 by Christ5547 Jesus.2424
20 Now1161 to God2316 and our Father3962 be glory1391 for ever165 and ever.165 Amen.281
21 Salute782 every3956 saint40 in Christ5547 Jesus.2424 The brothers80 which are with me greet782 you.
22 All3956 the saints40 salute782 you, chiefly3122 they that are of Caesar's2541 household.3614
23 The grace5485 of our Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547 be with you all.3956 Amen.281 To the Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus.
