Thanksgiving

Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

so that your pride in Christ Jesus may be abundant because of me by my coming to you again.

Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

But I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and take pride in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,

Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;

And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
