Jesus

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might.

But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do, Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ witha loveincorruptible.

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

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

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

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

so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

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

and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

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.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
