{\MT The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
\VS{2}grace to you, and peace from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:2 }Elohim}God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
\VS{3}I thank my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:3 }Elohim}God for my whole remembrance of you,
\VS{4}constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
\VS{5}because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
\VS{6}having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
\VS{7}as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have
{\BD{me}} in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.
\VS{8}For
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:8 }Elohim}God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
\VS{9}And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
\VS{10}that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,
\VS{11}being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:11 }Elohim}God's glory and praise.
\VS{12}But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
\VS{13}so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
\VS{14}and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:14 }Elohim}God fearlessly.
\VS{15}Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
\VS{16}These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
\VS{17}but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
\VS{18}What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;
\VS{19}for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
\VS{20}according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.
\VS{21}For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
\VS{22}but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
\VS{23}But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
\VS{24}but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
\VS{25}and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
\VS{26}that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
\VS{27}Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;
\VS{28}and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 1:28 }Elohim}God;
\VS{29}because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
\VS{30}having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
\VS{2}fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
\VS{3}[let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
\VS{4}regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.
\VS{5}For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;
\VS{6}who, subsisting in the form of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:6 }Elohim}God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:6 }Elohim}God;
\VS{7}but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;
\VS{8}and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.
\VS{9}Wherefore also
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:9 }Elohim}God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
\VS{10}that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],
\VS{11}and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:11 }Elohim}God [the] Father's glory.
\VS{12}So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
\VS{13}for it is
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:13 }Elohim}God who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.
\VS{14}Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
\VS{15}that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:15 }Elohim}God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,
\VS{16}holding forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.
\VS{17}But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.
\VS{18}In like manner do
{\BD{ye}} also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
\VS{19}But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that
{\BD{I}} also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
\VS{20}For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
\VS{21}For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
\VS{22}But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
\VS{23}Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
\VS{24}but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;
\VS{25}but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,
\VS{26}since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
\VS{27}for he was also sick close to death, but
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 2:27 }Elohim}God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
\VS{28}I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that
{\BD{I}} might be the less sorrowful.
\VS{29}Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
\VS{30}because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}For the rest, my brethren, rejoice in [the] Lord: to write the same things to you, to me [is] not irksome, and for you safe.
\VS{2}See to dogs, see to evil workmen, see to the concision.
\VS{3}For
{\BD{we}} are the circumcision, who worship by [the] Spirit of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:3 }Elohim}God, and boast in Christ Jesus, and do not trust in flesh.
\VS{4}Though
{\BD{I}} have [my] trust even in flesh; if any other think to trust in flesh,
{\BD{I}} rather:
\VS{5}as to circumcision, [I received it] the eighth day; of [the] race of Israel, of [the] tribe of Benjamin, Hebrew of Hebrews; as to [the] law, a Pharisee;
\VS{6}as to zeal, persecuting the assembly; as to righteousness which [is] in [the] law, found blameless;
\VS{7}but what things were gain to me these I counted, on account of Christ, loss.
\VS{8}But surely I count also all things to be loss on account of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, on account of whom I have suffered the loss of all, and count them to be filth, that I may gain Christ;
\VS{9}and that I may be found in him, not having my righteousness, which [would be] on the principle of law, but that which is by faith of Christ, the righteousness which [is] of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:9 }Elohim}God through faith,
\VS{10}to know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death,
\VS{11}if any way I arrive at the resurrection from among [the] dead.
\VS{12}Not that I have already obtained [the prize], or am already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may get possession [of it], seeing that also I have been taken possession of by Christ [Jesus].
\VS{13}Brethren,
{\BD{I}} do not count to have got possession myself; but one thing — forgetting the things behind, and stretching out to the things before,
\VS{14}I pursue, [looking] towards [the] goal, for the prize of the calling on high of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:14 }Elohim}God in Christ Jesus.
\VS{15}As many therefore as [are] perfect, let us be thus minded; and if ye are any otherwise minded, this also
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:15 }Elohim}God shall reveal to you.
\VS{16}But whereto we have attained, [let us] walk in the same steps.
\VS{17}Be imitators [all] together of me, brethren, and fix your eyes on those walking thus as you have us for a model;
\VS{18}(for many walk of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they [are] the enemies of the cross of Christ:
\VS{19}whose end [is] destruction, whose
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 3:19 }Elohim}god [is] the belly, and [their] glory in their shame, who mind earthly things:)
\VS{20}for
{\BD{our}} commonwealth has its existence in [the] heavens, from which also we await the Lord Jesus Christ [as] Saviour,
\VS{21}who shall transform our body of humiliation into conformity to his body of glory, according to the working of [the] power which he has even to subdue all things to himself.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So that, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, thus stand fast in [the] Lord, beloved.
\VS{2}I exhort Euodia, and exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in [the] Lord;
\VS{3}yea, I ask thee also, true yokefellow, assist them, who have contended along with me in the glad tidings, with Clement also, and my other fellow-labourers, whose names [are] in [the] book of life.
\VS{4}Rejoice in [the] Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice.
\VS{5}Let your gentleness be known of all men. The Lord [is] near.
\VS{6}Be careful about nothing; but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:6 }Elohim}God;
\VS{7}and the peace of
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:7 }Elohim}God, which surpasses every understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts by Christ Jesus.
\VS{8}For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things [are] true, whatsoever things [are] noble, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] amiable, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue and if any praise, think on these things.
\VS{9}What ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, these things do; and the
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:9 }Elohim}God of peace shall be with you.
\VS{10}But I rejoiced in [the] Lord greatly, that now however at length ye have revived your thinking of me, though surely ye did also think [of me], but lacked opportunity.
\VS{11}Not that I speak as regards privation, for as to me
{\BD{I}} have learnt in those circumstances in which I am, to be satisfied in myself.
\VS{12}I know both how to be abased and I know how to abound. In everything and in all things I am initiated both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer privation.
\VS{13}I have strength for all things in him that gives me power.
\VS{14}But ye have done well in taking part in my affliction.
\VS{15}And know also
{\BD{ye}}, O Philippians, that in [the] beginning of the gospel, when I came out of Macedonia, no assembly communicated [anything] to me in [the] way of giving and receiving save
{\BD{ye}} alone;
\VS{16}for also in Thessalonica once and even twice ye sent to me for my need.
\VS{17}Not that I seek gift, but I seek fruit abounding to your account.
\VS{18}But I have all things in full supply and abound; I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [sent] from you, an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:18 }Elohim}God.
\VS{19}But my
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:19 }Elohim}God shall abundantly supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
\VS{20}But to our
\FTNT{°}{{\FR 4:20 }Elohim}God and Father [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen.
\VS{21}Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who [are] with me salute you.
\VS{22}All the saints salute you, and specially those of the household of Caesar.
\VS{23}The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your spirit. Amen.
