Jesus

Finally, brethren, be strengthened in the Lord and in the might of his power.

But that you also may know the things that concern me and what I am doing, Tychicus, my dearest brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make known to you all things:

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

Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen.

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

Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.

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

That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ:

Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court and in all other places.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Some indeed, even out of envy and contention: but some also for good will preach Christ.

Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded: but with all confidence, as always, so now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

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

But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.

For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him:

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:

For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
