From: Sha’ul and Timothy, slaves of the Messiah Yeshua To: All God’s people united with the Messiah Yeshua and living in Philippi, along with the congregation leaders and shammashim:

Grace to you and shalom from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

And I am sure of this: that the One who began a good work among you will keep it growing until it is completed on the Day of the Messiah Yeshua.

God can testify how I long for all of you with the deep affection of the Messiah Yeshua.

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah — to the glory and praise of God.

for I know that this will work out for my deliverance, because of your prayers and the support I get from the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah.

Then, through my being with you again, you will have even greater reason for boasting about the Messiah Yeshua.

Let your attitude toward one another be governed by your being in union with the Messiah Yeshua:

that in honor of the name given Yeshua, every knee will bow — in heaven, on earth and under the earth —

and every tongue will acknowledge that Yeshua the Messiah is Adonai — to the glory of God the Father.

But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I too may be cheered by knowing how you are doing.

people all put their own interests ahead of the Messiah Yeshua’s.

For it is we who are the Circumcised, we who worship by the Spirit of God and make our boast in the Messiah Yeshua! We do not put confidence in human qualifications,

Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison with the supreme value of knowing the Messiah Yeshua as my Lord. It was because of him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, in order to gain the Messiah

It is not that I have already obtained it or already reached the goal — no, I keep pursuing it in the hope of taking hold of that for which the Messiah Yeshua took hold of me.

I keep pursuing the goal in order to win the prize offered by God’s upward calling in the Messiah Yeshua.

But we are citizens of heaven, and it is from there that we expect a Deliverer, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

Then God’s shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

Moreover, my God will fill every need of yours according to his glorious wealth, in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

Greet each of God’s people in the Messiah Yeshua. The brothers with me send their greetings to you.

The grace of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with your spirit.
