PHILIPPIANS 1
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Ihsou Christ, to all the saints in Christ Ihsou who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Ihsou Christ. 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5 in your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry on until the day of Ihsou Christ; 7 as it is right for me to think this for you all, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds, and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, as my fellow-partakers of the grace of all of you. being. 8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Ihsou Christ. 9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 as you prove yourselves in all things, that you may be sincere and ready for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Ihsou Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 12 But I want you to know, brothers, that what happened to me has turned out rather for the advancement of the gospel, 13 so that my bonds in Christ may become clear throughout the whole praetorium and to all the rest, 14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, trusting in my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some preach Christ even of envy and strife, and some also of good will. 16 The latter of envy and strife preach Christ, not sincerely, thinking to cause tribulation to my bonds: 17 But the former of love, knowing that I am written for the defense of the gospel. 18 For what? But in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached: in this I rejoice, yea, I rejoice. 19 For I know that this will turn out for my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Ihsou Christ. 20 According to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I will be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if to live in the flesh is fruit to me; and what shall I gain I know not. 23 For I am torn between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, but that is far better. 24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you. 25 And I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that your boasting may abound in Christ Ihsou in me by my coming to you again. 27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not be swayed in anything by things that are against me, which to them is an evidence of destruction, but to you of salvation; and this from God. 29 For to you it has been given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him,but also to suffer for him; 30 having the same struggle which you see in me, and now hear in me.

1 If therefore there is any entreaty in Christ, if any fellowship of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfill my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 3 not out of strife or vainglory, but in humility preferring one another; 4 looking not every man to his own things, but also to the things of others. 5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Ihsou: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and being made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross: 9 Therefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him the name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Ihsou every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth: 11 And every tongue confess, confess that Ihsou Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you 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 who works in you both to will and to act for his good pleasure. 14 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and blameless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding out the word of life, so that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 But if I am being poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with you all. 18 In this you also rejoice and rejoice with me. 19 But I hope in the Lord Ihsou to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be of good cheer, knowing your state. 20 For I have no one else of the same mind who will genuinely care for you, 21 for all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Ihsou. 22 But you know the proof of him, that as a father with his children he has served with me in furtherance of the gospel. 23 I hope to send him then, as soon as I have made my case; 24 but I am confident in the Lord that he too will come shortly. 25 But I have been obliged to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your apostle and minister of my need, 26 for he longed for you all, and was longing for you, because you had heard that he had been sick. 27 For he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I have sent him all the more, so that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and I may be more sorrowful. 29 Therefore receive him in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in high esteem, 30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death, being grieved by his life, that he might supply what was lacking in your service to me.

1 Therefore, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. I write these things to you, not to be idle, but to be safe. 2 Behold the dogs, behold the evil workers, behold the slander. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the Spirit, and glory in Christ Ihsou, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 But I have confidence also in the flesh: if any man thinketh that he hath confidence in the flesh, I doubt not. 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 In zeal persecuting the church; as to the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But whatever things were gain to me, these have I become loss for Christ. 8 But I count all things loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Ihsou my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish, that I may gain Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 To know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death: 11 If by any means I may attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained it, or am already perfected; but I press on, if I may lay hold of that for which also I have been laid hold of by Christ Ihsou. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself to have laid hold of it; but one thing, stretching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Ihsou. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are mature, be of this mind; and if in any other mind ye be, this God shall reveal unto you. 16 But to that whereunto we have also attained, let us be of this mind in the same measure. 17 Brothers, be imitators of me, and mark those who walk so, as you have us as an example. 18 For many walk, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you even weeping, the enemies of the cross of Christ; 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. 20 For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also received a Savior, the Lord Ihsou Christ, 21 who will transform our humble body to be conformed to his glorious body, according to the working of his power even to subject all things to himself.

1 Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brothers, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved. 2 I beseech Euodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I beseech thee also, true wife, receive them which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. 5 Let your gentleness be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Ihsou. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. 9 The things you learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things. And the God of peace will be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that at no time did you lose heart for me, for in whatever you do, you will be happy. 11 I do not speak in terms of lack; for I have learned, in whatever circumstances I am, to be content. 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in every way and in all things I am knowledgeable, both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I have strength for all things through Christ who strengthens me. 14 But you have done well in sharing my tribulation. 15 And you Philippians also know that in the beginning of the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, no church communicated with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only. 16 And even in Thessalonica you sent to me once and again for my need. 17 Not that I seek the house, but I seek the fruit that abounds for your sake. 18 But I am full and abounding. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Ihsou. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Greet every saint in Christ Ihsou. The brothers and sisters with me greet you. 22 All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of our Lord Ihsou Christ be with you all. Amen.
