Philippians 1
1. Paul <3972> and Timotheus <5095>, the servants <1401> of
Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to all <3956> the saints <40> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> which <3588> are at <1722> Philippi
<5375>, with the bishops <1985> and deacons <1249>:
2 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316>
our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>.
3. I thank <2168> my God <2316> upon every <3956> remembrance
<3417> of you,
4 Always <3842> in every <3956> prayer <1162> of mine <3450>
for you all <3956> making <4160> request <1162> with joy <5479>,
5 For your <5216> fellowship <2842> in the gospel <2098> from
the first <4413> day <2250> until <891> now <3568>;
6 Being confident <3982> of this <5124> very <846> thing, that
he which hath begun <1728> a good <18> work <2041> in you will
perform <2005> [it] until <891> the day <2250> of Jesus <2424>
Christ <5547>:
7. Even <2531> as it is meet <1342> for me to think <5426> this
<5124> of you all <3956>, because <1223> I have <2192> you in my
heart <2588>; inasmuch <3745> as both <5037> in my bonds <1199>,
and in the defence <627> and confirmation <951> of the gospel
<2098>, ye all <3956> are partakers <4791> of my grace <5485>.
8 For God <2316> is my record <3144>, how <5613> greatly <1971>
I long <1971> after <1971> you all <3956> in the bowels <4698>
of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.
9. And this <5124> I pray <4336>, that your <5216> love <26>
may abound <4052> yet <2089> more <3123> and more <3123> in
knowledge <1922> and [in] all <3956> judgment <144>;
10 That ye may approve <1381> things that are excellent <1308>;
that ye may be sincere <1506> and without <677> offence <677>
till <1519> the day <2250> of Christ <5547>;
11 Being filled <4137> with the fruits <2590> of righteousness
<1343>, which <3588> are by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, unto the
glory <1391> and praise <1868> of God <2316>.
12. But I would ye should understand <1097>, brethren <80>,
that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen <2064> out
rather <3123> unto the furtherance <4297> of the gospel <2098>;
13 So <5620> that my bonds <1199> in Christ <5547> are manifest
<5318> in all <3650> the palace <4232>, and in all <3956> other
<3062> [places];
14 And many <4119> of the brethren <80> in the Lord <2962>,
waxing <3982> confident <3982> by my bonds <1199>, are much
<4056> more <4056> bold <5111> to speak <2980> the word <3056>
without <870> fear <870>.
15 Some <5100> indeed <3303> preach <2784> Christ <5547> even
<2532> of envy <5355> and strife <2054>; and some <5100> also
<2532> of good <2107> will <2107>:
16 The one <3303> preach <2605> Christ <5547> of contention
<2052>, not sincerely <55>, supposing <3633> to add <2018>
affliction <2347> to my bonds <1199>:
17 But the other of love <26>, knowing <1492> that I am set
<2749> for the defence <627> of the gospel <2098>.
18 What <5101> then <1063>? notwithstanding <4133>, every
<3956> way <5158>, whether <1535> in pretence <4392>, or <1535>
in truth <226>, Christ <5547> is preached <2605>; and I therein
<5129> do rejoice <5463>, yea <235>, and will rejoice <5463>.
19 For I know <1492> that this <5124> shall turn <576> to my
salvation <4991> through <1223> your <5216> prayer <1162>, and
the supply <2024> of the Spirit <4151> of Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547>,
20 According <2596> to my earnest <603> expectation <603> and
[my] hope <1680>, that in nothing <3762> I shall be ashamed
<153>, but [that] with all <3956> boldness <3954>, as always
<3842>, [so] now <3568> also <2532> Christ <5547> shall be
magnified <3170> in my body <4983>, whether <1535> [it be] by
life <2222>, or <1535> by death <2288>.
21. For to me to live <2198> [is] Christ <5547>, and to die
<599> [is] gain <2771>.
22 But if <1487> I live <2198> in the flesh <4561>, this <5124>
[is] the fruit <2590> of my labour <2041>: yet <2532> what
<5101> I shall choose <138> I wot <1107> not.
23 For I am in a strait <4912> betwixt <1537> two <1417>,
having <2192> a desire <1939> to depart <360>, and to be with
Christ <5547>; which is far <3123> better <2909>:
24 Nevertheless <1161> to abide <1961> in the flesh <4561> [is]
more <316> needful <316> for you.
25 And having this <5124> confidence <3982>, I know <1492> that
I shall abide <3306> and continue <4839> with you all <3956> for
your <5216> furtherance <4297> and joy <5479> of faith <4102>;
26 That your <5216> rejoicing <2745> may be more abundant
<4052> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for me by my coming <3952>
to you again <3825>.
27. Only <3440> let your conversation <4176> be as it becometh
<516> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>: that whether <1535> I
come <2064> and see <1492> you, or <1535> else be absent <548>,
I may hear <191> of your <5216> affairs <4012>, that ye stand
<4739> fast in one <1520> spirit <4151>, with one <3391> mind
<5590> striving <4866> together <4866> for the faith <4102> of
the gospel <2098>;
28 And in nothing <3367> terrified <4426> by your <3588>
adversaries <480>: which <3748> is to them an evident <1732>
token <1732> of perdition <684>, but to you of salvation <4991>,
and that of God <2316>.
29 For unto you it is given <5483> in the behalf <5228> of
Christ <5547>, not only <3440> to believe <4100> on <1519> him,
but also <2532> to suffer <3958> for his sake;
30 Having <2192> the same <846> conflict <73> which <3634> ye
saw <1492> in me, and now <3568> hear <191> [to be] in me.
Philippians 2
1. If <1487> [there be] therefore <3767> any <1536> consolation
<3874> in Christ <5547>, if <1487> any <1536> comfort <3890> of
love <26>, if <1487> any <1536> fellowship <2842> of the Spirit
<4151>, if <1487> any <1536> bowels <4698> and mercies <3628>,
2 Fulfil <4137> ye my joy <5479>, that ye be likeminded <5426>,
having <2192> the same love <26>, [being] of one <4861> accord
<4861>, of one <1520> mind <5426>.
3 [Let] nothing <3367> [be done] through <2596> strife <2052>
or <2228> vainglory <2754>; but in lowliness <5012> of mind
<5012> let each <240> esteem <2233> other <240> better <5242>
than themselves <1438>.
4 Look <4648> not every <1538> man on his own <1438> things,
but every <1538> man also <2532> on the things of others <2087>.
5 Let this <5124> mind <5426> be in you, which <3739> was also
<2532> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:
6 Who, being <5225> in the form <3444> of God <2316>, thought
<2233> it not robbery <725> to be equal <2470> with God <2316>:
7 But made <1096> himself <1438> of no <5013> reputation <2758>,
and took <2983> upon him the form <3444> of a servant <1401>,
and was made <1096> in the likeness <3667> of men <444>:
8 And being found <2147> in fashion <4976> as a man <444>, he
humbled <5013> himself <1438>, and became <1096> obedient <5255>
unto death <2288>, even <1161> the death <2288> of the cross
<4716>.
9 Wherefore <1352> God <2316> also <2532> hath highly <5251>
exalted <5251> him, and given <5483> him a name <3686> which
<3588> is above <5228> every <3596> name <3686>:
10 That at <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> every <3596>
knee <1119> should bow <2578>, of [things] in heaven <2032>, and
[things] in earth <1919>, and [things] under <2709> the earth
<2709>;
11 And [that] every <3596> tongue <1100> should confess <1843>
that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [is] Lord <2962>, to the glory
<1391> of God <2316> the Father <3962>.
12. Wherefore <5620>, my beloved <27>, as ye have always <3842>
obeyed <5219>, not as in my presence <3952> only <3440>, but now
<3568> much <4183> more <3123> in my absence <666>, work <2716>
out your <1438> own <1438> salvation <4991> with fear <5401> and
trembling <5156>.
13 For it is God <2316> which <3588> worketh <1754> in you both
<2532> to will <2309> and to do <1754> of [his] good pleasure
<2107>.
14. Do <4160> all <3956> things without <5565> murmurings
<1112> and disputings <1261>:
15 That ye may be blameless <273> and harmless <185>, the sons
<5043> of God <2316>, without <298> rebuke <298>, in the midst
<3319> of a crooked <4646> and perverse <1294> nation <1074>,
among <1722> whom <3739> ye shine <5316> as lights <5458> in the
world <2889>;
16 Holding <1907> forth <1907> the word <3056> of life <2222>;
that I may rejoice <2745> in the day <2250> of Christ <5547>,
that I have not run <5143> in vain <2756>, neither <3761>
laboured <2872> in vain <2756>.
17 Yea <235>, and if <1487> I be offered <4689> upon the
sacrifice <2378> and service <3009> of your <5216> faith <4102>,
I joy <5463>, and rejoice <4796> with you all <3956>.
18 For the same <846> cause <846> also <2532> do ye joy <5463>,
and rejoice <4796> with me.
19 But I trust <1679> in the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> to send
<3992> Timotheus <5095> shortly <5030> unto you, that I also
<2504> may be of good comfort <2174>, when I know <1097> your
<5216> state <4012>.
20 For I have <2192> no <3762> man <3762> likeminded <2473>,
who <3748> will naturally <1103> care <3309> for your <5216>
state <4012>.
21 For all <3956> seek <2212> their own, not the things which
are Jesus <2424> Christ's <5547>.
22 But ye know <1097> the proof <1382> of him, that, as a son
<5043> with the father <3962>, he hath served <1398> with me in
the gospel <2098>.
23 Him therefore <3767> I hope <1679> to send <3992> presently
<1824>, so <5613> soon as I shall see <872> how <4012> it will
go with me.
24 But I trust <3982> in the Lord <2962> that I also <2532>
myself shall come <2064> shortly <5030>.
25 Yet <1161> I supposed <2233> it necessary <316> to send
<3992> to you Epaphroditus <1891>, my brother <80>, and
companion <4904> in labour <4904>, and fellowsoldier <4961>, but
your <5216> messenger <652>, and he that ministered <3011> to my
wants <5532>.
26 For he longed <1971> after <1971> you all <3956>, and was
full of heaviness <85>, because <1360> that ye had heard <191>
that he had been sick <770>.
27 For indeed <2532> he was sick <770> nigh <3897> unto death
<2288>: but God <2316> had mercy <1653> on him; and not on him
only <3440>, but on me also <2532>, lest <3361> I should have
<2192> sorrow <3077> upon sorrow <3077>.
28 I sent <3992> him therefore <3767> the more <4708> carefully
<4708>, that, when ye see <1492> him again <3825>, ye may
rejoice <5463>, and that I may be the less <253> sorrowful <253>.
29 Receive <4327> him therefore <3767> in the Lord <2962> with
all <3956> gladness <5479>; and hold <2192> such <5108> in
reputation <1784>:
30 Because <3754> for the work <2041> of Christ <5547> he was
nigh <1448> unto death <2288>, not regarding <3851> his life
<5590>, to supply <378> your <5216> lack <5303> of service
<3009> toward <4314> me.
Philippians 3
1. Finally <3063>, my brethren <80>, rejoice <5463> in the Lord
<2962>. To write <1125> the same <846> things to you, to me
indeed <3303> [is] not grievous <3636>, but for you [it is] safe
<809>.
2 Beware <991> of dogs <2965>, beware <991> of evil <2556>
workers <2040>, beware <991> of the concision <2699>.
3 For we are the circumcision <4061>, which <3588> worship
<3000> God <2316> in the spirit <4151>, and rejoice <2744> in
Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and have no <3756> confidence <3982>
in the flesh <4561>.
4. Though <2539> I might also <2532> have <2192> confidence
<4006> in the flesh <4561>. If <1487> any <1536> other <243> man
thinketh <1380> that he hath whereof he might trust <3982> in
the flesh <4561>, I more <3123>:
5 Circumcised <4061> the eighth <3637> day <2250>, of the stock
<1085> of Israel <2474>, [of] the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <958>,
an Hebrew <1446> of the Hebrews <1445>; as touching <2596> the
law <3551>, a Pharisee <5330>;
6 Concerning <2596> zeal <2205>, persecuting <1377> the church
<1577>; touching <2596> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is
in the law <3551>, blameless <273>.
7 But what <3748> things were gain <2771> to me, those <5023> I
counted <2233> loss <2209> for Christ <5547>.
8 Yea <235> doubtless <3304>, and I count <2233> all <3956>
things [but] loss <2209> for the excellency <5242> of the
knowledge <1108> of Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> my Lord <2962>:
for whom <3739> I have suffered <2210> the loss <2210> of all
<3956> things, and do count <2233> them [but] dung <4657>, that
I may win <2770> Christ <5547>,
9. And be found <2147> in him, not having <2192> mine <1699>
own <1699> righteousness <1343>, which <3588> is of the law
<3551>, but that which <3588> is through <1223> the faith <4102>
of Christ <5547>, the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of
God <2316> by faith <4102>:
10 That I may know <1097> him, and the power <1411> of his
resurrection <386>, and the fellowship <2842> of his sufferings
<3804>, being made <4832> conformable <4832> unto his death
<2288>;
11 If <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> I might attain <2658>
unto the resurrection <1815> of the dead <3498>.
12 Not as though <3754> I had already <2235> attained <2983>,
either <2228> were already <2235> perfect <5048>: but I follow
<1377> after, if <1499> that I may apprehend <2638> that for
which <3739> also <2532> I am apprehended <2638> of Christ
<5547> Jesus <2424>.
13 Brethren <80>, I count <3049> not myself to have apprehended
<2638>: but [this] one <1520> thing <1520> [I do], forgetting
<1950> those <3588> things which are behind <3694>, and reaching
<1901> forth <1901> unto those <3588> things which are before
<1715>,
14 I press <1377> toward <2596> the mark <4649> for the prize
<1017> of the high <507> calling <2821> of God <2316> in Christ
<5547> Jesus <2424>.
15. Let us therefore <3767>, as many <3745> as be perfect
<5046>, be thus <5124> minded <5426>: and if <1487> in any
<1536> thing ye be otherwise <2088> minded <5426>, God <2316>
shall reveal <601> even <2532> this <5124> unto you.
16 Nevertheless <4133>, whereto <3739> we have already <5348>
attained <5348>, let us walk <4748> by the same <846> rule
<2583>, let us mind <5426> the same <846> thing.
17. Brethren <80>, be followers <4831> together <4831> of me,
and mark <4648> them which walk <4043> so <3779> as ye have
<2192> us for an ensample <5179>.
18 (For many <4183> walk <4043>, of whom <3739> I have told
<3004> you often <4183>, and now <3568> tell <3004> you even
<2532> weeping <2799>, [that they are] the enemies <2190> of the
cross <4716> of Christ <5547>:
19 Whose <3739> end <5056> [is] destruction <684>, whose <3739>
God <2316> [is their] belly <2836>, and [whose <3588>] glory
<1391> [is] in their shame <152>, who <3588> mind <5426> earthly
<1919> things.)
20 For our conversation <4175> is in heaven <3772>; from whence
<3739> also <2532> we look <553> for the Saviour <4990>, the
Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:
21 Who shall change <3345> our vile <5014> body <4983>, that it
may be fashioned <4832> like <4832> unto his glorious <1391>
body <4983>, according <2596> to the working <1753> whereby
<3588> he is able <1410> even <2532> to subdue <5293> all <3956>
things unto himself <1438>.
Philippians 4
1. Therefore <5620>, my brethren <80> dearly beloved <27> and
longed <1973> for, my joy <5479> and crown <4735>, so <3779>
stand <4739> fast in the Lord <2962>, [my] dearly beloved <27>.
2 I beseech <3870> Euodias <2136>, and beseech <3870> Syntyche
<4941>, that they be of the same <846> mind <5426> in the Lord
<2962>.
3 And I intreat <2065> thee also <2532>, true <1103> yokefellow
<4805>, help <4815> those <846> women which <3748> laboured
<4866> with me in the gospel <2098>, with Clement <2815> also
<2532>, and [with] other <3062> my fellowlabourers <4904>, whose
<3739> names <3686> [are] in the book <976> of life <2222>.
4 Rejoice <5463> in the Lord <2962> alway <104>: [and] again
<3825> I say <2046>, Rejoice <5463>.
5 Let your <5216> moderation <1933> be known <1097> unto all
<3956> men <444>. The Lord <2962> [is] at <1451> hand <1451>.
6 Be careful <3309> for nothing <3367>; but in every <3596>
thing by prayer <4335> and supplication <1162> with thanksgiving
<2169> let your <5216> requests <155> be made <1107> known
<1107> unto God <2316>.
7 And the peace <1515> of God <2316>, which <3588> passeth
<5242> all <3956> understanding <3563>, shall keep <5432> your
<5216> hearts <2588> and minds <3540> through <1722> Christ
<5547> Jesus <2424>.
8 Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, whatsoever <3745> things are
true <227>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] honest <4586>,
whatsoever <3745> things [are] just <1342>, whatsoever <3745>
things [are] pure <53>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] lovely
<4375>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] of good <2163> report
<2163>; if <1487> [there be] any <1536> virtue <703>, and if
<1487> [there be] any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049> on
these <5023> things.
9 Those <5023> things, which <3739> ye have both <2532> learned
<3129>, and received <3880>, and heard <191>, and seen <1492> in
me, do <4238>: and the God <2316> of peace <1515> shall be with
you.
10. But I rejoiced <5463> in the Lord <2962> greatly <3171>,
that now <2236> at <4218> the last <4218> your <3588> care
<5426> of me hath flourished <330> again <330>; wherein <3757>
ye were also <2532> careful <5426>, but ye lacked <170>
opportunity <170>.
11 Not that I speak <3004> in respect <2596> of want <5304>:
for I have learned <3129>, in whatsoever <3739> state I am
<1510>, [therewith] to be content <842>.
12 I know <1492> both <2532> how to be abased <5013>, and I
know <1492> how to abound <4052>: every <3596> where <3956> and
in all <3956> things I am instructed <3453> both <2532> to be
full <5526> and to be hungry <3983>, both <2532> to abound
<4052> and to suffer <5302> need.
13 I can <2480> do <2480> all <3956> things through <1722>
Christ <5547> which <3588> strengtheneth <1743> me.
14 Notwithstanding <4133> ye have well <2573> done <4160>, that
ye did communicate <4790> with my affliction <2347>.
15 Now <1161> ye Philippians <5374> know <1492> also <2532>,
that in the beginning <746> of the gospel <2098>, when <3753> I
departed <1831> from Macedonia <3109>, no <3762> church <1577>
communicated <2841> with me as concerning <3056> giving <1394>
and receiving <3028>, but ye only <3441>.
16 For even <2532> in Thessalonica <2332> ye sent <3992> once
<530> and again <1364> unto my necessity <5532>.
17 Not because <3754> I desire <1934> a gift <1390>: but I
desire <1934> fruit <2590> that may abound <4121> to your <5216>
account <3056>.
18 But I have <568> all <3956>, and abound <4052>: I am full
<4137>, having received <1209> of Epaphroditus <1891> the things
[which were sent] from you, an odour <3744> of a sweet <2175>
smell <2175>, a sacrifice <2378> acceptable <1184>, wellpleasing
<2101> to God <2316>.
19 But my God <2316> shall supply <4137> all <3956> your <5216>
need <5532> according <2596> to his riches <4149> in glory
<1391> by Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.
20. Now <1161> unto God <2316> and our Father <3962> [be] glory
<1391> for ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.
21 Salute <782> every <3596> saint <40> in Christ <5547> Jesus
<2424>. The brethren <80> which are with me greet <782> you.
22 All <3956> the saints <40> salute <782> you, chiefly <3122>
they that are of Caesar's <2541> household <3614>.
23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ
<5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen <281>.
