⁴⁴ And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me.

⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures

⁴⁶ and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day;

⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things.

⁴⁹ And, behold, I shall send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye are endued with power from on high.

1 ¶ Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

² Grace be unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

³ ¶ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you

⁴ always in every prayer of mine for you all, making request with joy,

⁵ for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.
