With

Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:

In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.

God is my witness 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.

I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

I urge Euodia and Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.

Yes, and I ask you, my true yokefellow, to help these women who have contended at my side for the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

And as you Philippians know, in the early days of the gospel, when I left Macedonia, no church but you partnered with me in the matter of giving and receiving.

Greet all the saints in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you greetings.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

…being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully

We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.

To this end I also labor, striving with all His energy working powerfully within me.

…that they may be encouraged in heart, knit together in love, and filled with the full riches of complete understanding, so that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ,

For although I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit, and I delight to see your orderly condition and firm faith in Christ.

…rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands.

And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

When you were dead in your trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our trespasses,

Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.

If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:

These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.

Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Therefore, since you have been raised with Christ, strive for the things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.

When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Do not lie to one another, since you have taken off the old self with its practices,

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with hearts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord.

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

Masters, supply your slaves with what is right and fair, since you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.

With him I am sending Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you about everything here.

This greeting is in my own hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace be with you.

…because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

And you became imitators of us and of the Lord when you welcomed the message with the joy of the Holy Spirit, in spite of your great suffering.

Instead, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, not in order to please men but God, who examines our hearts.

We cared so deeply that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our own lives as well. That is how beloved you have become to us.

Indeed, when we were with you, we kept warning you that we would suffer persecution; and as you know, it has come to pass.

But just now, Timothy has returned from his visit with the good news about your faith, your love, and the fond memories you have preserved, longing to see us just as we long to see you.

And may the Lord cause you to increase and overflow with love for one another and for everyone else, just as our love for you overflows,

…so that He may establish your hearts in blamelessness and holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.

…and to aspire to live quietly, to attend to your own matters, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed you.

For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we also believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

Therefore encourage one another with these words.

He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.

Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you,

…and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels

…on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.

Do you not remember that I told you these things while I was still with you?

And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and annihilate by the majesty of His arrival.

The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

…and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them.

Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may spread quickly and be held in honor, just as it was with you.

Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from any brother who leads an undisciplined life that is not in keeping with the tradition you received from us.

For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.”

Take note of anyone who does not obey the instructions we have given in this letter. Do not associate with him, so that he may be ashamed.

Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

…that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

…that agrees with the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.

And the grace of our Lord overflowed to me, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight,
