Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,

always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,

even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.

For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

Yea verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain Christ,

who shall fashion anew the body of our humiliation, that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself.

Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want.

I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me.

But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.

All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Caesar’s household.
