Philippians is a letter from the Apostle Paul to the church in Philippi, written from prison. It radiates joy and gratitude, emphasizing the importance of unity and humility among believers. Paul encourages the Philippians to rejoice in the Lord, find contentment in all circumstances, and imitate Christ's humility. He also stresses the significance of living a life worthy of the Gospel and trusting in God's provision. Through his personal example, Paul inspires readers to remain steadfast in their faith.
1. Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:2. Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.3. I thank my God on every remembrance of you,
1. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,2. Fulfill you my joy, that you be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
1. Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.2. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.3. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
1. Therefore, my brothers dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.2. I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.3. And I entreat you also, true yoke fellow, help those women which labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow laborers, whose names are in the book of life.
