Philippians 1

¹   Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:
²   Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
³   I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
⁴   always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,
⁵   in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.
⁶   For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
⁷   For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.
⁸   For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
⁹   And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,
¹⁰   so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;
¹¹   having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
¹²   Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,
¹³   so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,
¹⁴   and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.
¹⁵   Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;
¹⁶   the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
¹⁷   the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.
¹⁸   What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
¹⁹   for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
²⁰   according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
²¹   For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
²²   But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.
²³   But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;
²⁴   yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
²⁵   Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
²⁶   so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.
²⁷   Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
²⁸   in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.
²⁹   For to you it has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
³⁰   experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Philippians 2

¹   Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
²   make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
³   Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
⁴   do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
⁵   Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
⁶   who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
⁷   but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
⁸   Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
⁹   For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
¹⁰   so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹   and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
¹²   So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
¹³   for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
¹⁴   Do all things without grumbling or disputing;
¹⁵   so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,
¹⁶   holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
¹⁷   But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
¹⁸   You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
¹⁹   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.
²⁰   For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.
²¹   For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.
²²   But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.
²³   Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;
²⁴   and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.
²⁵   But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;
²⁶   because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
²⁷   For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.
²⁸   Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.
²⁹   Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;
³⁰   because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.
