Philippians 1



1. Paul <3972> and Timotheus <5095>, the servants <1401> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, to all <3956> the saints <40> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424> which < 3588> are at <1722> Philippi <5375>, with the bishops < 1985> and deacons <1249>:

2 Grace <5485> [be] unto you, and peace <1515>, from God <2316> our Father <3962>, and [from] the Lord < 2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

3. I thank <2168> my God <2316> upon every < 3956> remembrance <3417> of you,

4 Always <3842> in every <3956> prayer <1162> of mine <3450> for you all <3956> making <4160> request <1162> with joy <5479>,

5 For your <5216> fellowship <2842> in the gospel <2098> from the first <4413> day <2250> until <891> now <3568>;

6 Being confident <3982> of this <5124> very < 846> thing, that he which hath begun <1728> a good <18> work <2041> in you will perform <2005> [it] until <891> the day <2250> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>:

7. Even <2531> as it is meet <1342> for me to think <5426> this <5124> of you all <3956>, because < 1223> I have <2192> you in my heart <2588>; inasmuch < 3745> as both <5037> in my bonds <1199>, and in the defence <627> and confirmation <951> of the gospel <2098>, ye all <3956> are partakers <4791> of my grace <5485>.

8 For God <2316> is my record <3144>, how < 5613> greatly <1971> I long <1971> after <1971> you all <3956> in the bowels <4698> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>.

9. And this <5124> I pray <4336>, that your < 5216> love <26> may abound <4052> yet <2089> more < 3123> and more <3123> in knowledge <1922> and [in] all < 3956> judgment <144>;

10 That ye may approve <1381> things that are excellent <1308>; that ye may be sincere <1506> and without <677> offence <677> till <1519> the day <2250> of Christ < 5547>;

11 Being filled <4137> with the fruits <2590> of righteousness <1343>, which <3588> are by Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, unto the glory <1391> and praise <1868> of God <2316>.

12. But I would ye should understand <1097>, brethren < 80>, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen <2064> out rather <3123> unto the furtherance <4297> of the gospel <2098>;

13 So <5620> that my bonds <1199> in Christ < 5547> are manifest <5318> in all <3650> the palace < 4232>, and in all <3956> other <3062> [places];

14 And many <4119> of the brethren <80> in the Lord <2962>, waxing <3982> confident <3982> by my bonds < 1199>, are much <4056> more <4056> bold <5111> to speak <2980> the word <3056> without <870> fear < 870>.

15 Some <5100> indeed <3303> preach <2784> Christ <5547> even <2532> of envy <5355> and strife < 2054>; and some <5100> also <2532> of good <2107> will <2107>:

16 The one <3303> preach <2605> Christ <5547> of contention <2052>, not sincerely <55>, supposing < 3633> to add <2018> affliction <2347> to my bonds < 1199>:

17 But the other of love <26>, knowing <1492> that I am set <2749> for the defence <627> of the gospel < 2098>.

18 What <5101> then <1063>? notwithstanding < 4133>, every <3956> way <5158>, whether <1535> in pretence <4392>, or <1535> in truth <226>, Christ < 5547> is preached <2605>; and I therein <5129> do rejoice <5463>, yea <235>, and will rejoice <5463>.

19 For I know <1492> that this <5124> shall turn <576> to my salvation <4991> through <1223> your < 5216> prayer <1162>, and the supply <2024> of the Spirit <4151> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>,

20 According <2596> to my earnest <603> expectation <603> and [my] hope <1680>, that in nothing <3762> I shall be ashamed <153>, but [that] with all <3956> boldness <3954>, as always <3842>, [so] now <3568> also < 2532> Christ <5547> shall be magnified <3170> in my body <4983>, whether <1535> [it be] by life <2222>, or < 1535> by death <2288>.

21. For to me to live <2198> [is] Christ <5547>, and to die <599> [is] gain <2771>.

22 But if <1487> I live <2198> in the flesh < 4561>, this <5124> [is] the fruit <2590> of my labour < 2041>: yet <2532> what <5101> I shall choose <138> I wot <1107> not.

23 For I am in a strait <4912> betwixt <1537> two <1417>, having <2192> a desire <1939> to depart < 360>, and to be with Christ <5547>; which is far <3123> better <2909>:

24 Nevertheless <1161> to abide <1961> in the flesh <4561> [is] more <316> needful <316> for you.

25 And having this <5124> confidence <3982>, I know <1492> that I shall abide <3306> and continue <4839> with you all <3956> for your <5216> furtherance <4297> and joy <5479> of faith <4102>;

26 That your <5216> rejoicing <2745> may be more abundant <4052> in Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> for me by my coming <3952> to you again <3825>.

27. Only <3440> let your conversation <4176> be as it becometh <516> the gospel <2098> of Christ <5547>: that whether <1535> I come <2064> and see <1492> you, or <1535> else be absent <548>, I may hear <191> of your <5216> affairs <4012>, that ye stand <4739> fast in one <1520> spirit <4151>, with one <3391> mind <5590> striving <4866> together <4866> for the faith <4102> of the gospel <2098>;

28 And in nothing <3367> terrified <4426> by your <3588> adversaries <480>: which <3748> is to them an evident <1732> token <1732> of perdition <684>, but to you of salvation <4991>, and that of God <2316>.

29 For unto you it is given <5483> in the behalf < 5228> of Christ <5547>, not only <3440> to believe < 4100> on <1519> him, but also <2532> to suffer <3958> for his sake;

30 Having <2192> the same <846> conflict <73> which <3634> ye saw <1492> in me, and now <3568> hear <191> [to be] in me.

Philippians 2

1. If <1487> [there be] therefore <3767> any < 1536> consolation <3874> in Christ <5547>, if <1487> any <1536> comfort <3890> of love <26>, if <1487> any <1536> fellowship <2842> of the Spirit <4151>, if <1487> any <1536> bowels <4698> and mercies <3628>,

2 Fulfil <4137> ye my joy <5479>, that ye be likeminded <5426>, having <2192> the same love <26>, [being] of one <4861> accord <4861>, of one <1520> mind <5426>.

3 [Let] nothing <3367> [be done] through <2596> strife <2052> or <2228> vainglory <2754>; but in lowliness <5012> of mind <5012> let each <240> esteem <2233> other <240> better <5242> than themselves < 1438>.

4 Look <4648> not every <1538> man on his own < 1438> things, but every <1538> man also <2532> on the things of others <2087>.

5 Let this <5124> mind <5426> be in you, which < 3739> was also <2532> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:

6 Who, being <5225> in the form <3444> of God < 2316>, thought <2233> it not robbery <725> to be equal < 2470> with God <2316>:

7 But made <1096> himself <1438> of no <5013> reputation <2758>, and took <2983> upon him the form < 3444> of a servant <1401>, and was made <1096> in the likeness <3667> of men <444>:

8 And being found <2147> in fashion <4976> as a man <444>, he humbled <5013> himself <1438>, and became < 1096> obedient <5255> unto death <2288>, even <1161> the death <2288> of the cross <4716>.

9 Wherefore <1352> God <2316> also <2532> hath highly <5251> exalted <5251> him, and given <5483> him a name <3686> which <3588> is above <5228> every < 3596> name <3686>:

10 That at <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus < 2424> every <3596> knee <1119> should bow <2578>, of [things] in heaven <2032>, and [things] in earth <1919>, and [things] under <2709> the earth <2709>;

11 And [that] every <3596> tongue <1100> should confess <1843> that Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> [is] Lord <2962>, to the glory <1391> of God <2316> the Father < 3962>.

12. Wherefore <5620>, my beloved <27>, as ye have always <3842> obeyed <5219>, not as in my presence <3952> only <3440>, but now <3568> much <4183> more < 3123> in my absence <666>, work <2716> out your <1438> own <1438> salvation <4991> with fear <5401> and trembling <5156>.

13 For it is God <2316> which <3588> worketh < 1754> in you both <2532> to will <2309> and to do < 1754> of [his] good pleasure <2107>.

14. Do <4160> all <3956> things without <5565> murmurings <1112> and disputings <1261>:

15 That ye may be blameless <273> and harmless <185> , the sons <5043> of God <2316>, without <298> rebuke <298>, in the midst <3319> of a crooked <4646> and perverse <1294> nation <1074>, among <1722> whom < 3739> ye shine <5316> as lights <5458> in the world < 2889>;

16 Holding <1907> forth <1907> the word <3056> of life <2222>; that I may rejoice <2745> in the day < 2250> of Christ <5547>, that I have not run <5143> in vain <2756>, neither <3761> laboured <2872> in vain < 2756>.

17 Yea <235>, and if <1487> I be offered < 4689> upon the sacrifice <2378> and service <3009> of your <5216> faith <4102>, I joy <5463>, and rejoice < 4796> with you all <3956>.

18 For the same <846> cause <846> also <2532> do ye joy <5463>, and rejoice <4796> with me.

19 But I trust <1679> in the Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> to send <3992> Timotheus <5095> shortly <5030> unto you, that I also <2504> may be of good comfort <2174>, when I know <1097> your <5216> state <4012>.

20 For I have <2192> no <3762> man <3762> likeminded <2473>, who <3748> will naturally <1103> care <3309> for your <5216> state <4012>.

21 For all <3956> seek <2212> their own, not the things which are Jesus <2424> Christ's <5547>.

22 But ye know <1097> the proof <1382> of him, that, as a son <5043> with the father <3962>, he hath served < 1398> with me in the gospel <2098>.

23 Him therefore <3767> I hope <1679> to send < 3992> presently <1824>, so <5613> soon as I shall see < 872> how <4012> it will go with me.

24 But I trust <3982> in the Lord <2962> that I also <2532> myself shall come <2064> shortly <5030>.

25 Yet <1161> I supposed <2233> it necessary < 316> to send <3992> to you Epaphroditus <1891>, my brother <80>, and companion <4904> in labour <4904>, and fellowsoldier <4961>, but your <5216> messenger <652>, and he that ministered <3011> to my wants <5532>.

26 For he longed <1971> after <1971> you all < 3956>, and was full of heaviness <85>, because <1360> that ye had heard <191> that he had been sick <770>.

27 For indeed <2532> he was sick <770> nigh < 3897> unto death <2288>: but God <2316> had mercy < 1653> on him; and not on him only <3440>, but on me also < 2532>, lest <3361> I should have <2192> sorrow <3077> upon sorrow <3077>.

28 I sent <3992> him therefore <3767> the more < 4708> carefully <4708>, that, when ye see <1492> him again <3825>, ye may rejoice <5463>, and that I may be the less < 253> sorrowful <253>.

29 Receive <4327> him therefore <3767> in the Lord <2962> with all <3956> gladness <5479>; and hold < 2192> such <5108> in reputation <1784>:

30 Because <3754> for the work <2041> of Christ < 5547> he was nigh <1448> unto death <2288>, not regarding <3851> his life <5590>, to supply <378> your <5216> lack <5303> of service <3009> toward <4314> me.

Philippians 3

1. Finally <3063>, my brethren <80>, rejoice < 5463> in the Lord <2962>. To write <1125> the same < 846> things to you, to me indeed <3303> [is] not grievous < 3636>, but for you [it is] safe <809>.

2 Beware <991> of dogs <2965>, beware <991> of evil <2556> workers <2040>, beware <991> of the concision <2699>.

3 For we are the circumcision <4061>, which <3588> worship <3000> God <2316> in the spirit <4151>, and rejoice <2744> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and have no <3756> confidence <3982> in the flesh <4561>.

4. Though <2539> I might also <2532> have < 2192> confidence <4006> in the flesh <4561>. If <1487> any <1536> other <243> man thinketh <1380> that he hath whereof he might trust <3982> in the flesh <4561>, I more < 3123>:

5 Circumcised <4061> the eighth <3637> day < 2250>, of the stock <1085> of Israel <2474>, [of] the tribe <5443> of Benjamin <958>, an Hebrew <1446> of the Hebrews <1445>; as touching <2596> the law <3551>, a Pharisee <5330>;

6 Concerning <2596> zeal <2205>, persecuting < 1377> the church <1577>; touching <2596> the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is in the law <3551>, blameless < 273>.

7 But what <3748> things were gain <2771> to me, those <5023> I counted <2233> loss <2209> for Christ < 5547>.

8 Yea <235> doubtless <3304>, and I count < 2233> all <3956> things [but] loss <2209> for the excellency <5242> of the knowledge <1108> of Christ < 5547> Jesus <2424> my Lord <2962>: for whom <3739> I have suffered <2210> the loss <2210> of all <3956> things, and do count <2233> them [but] dung <4657>, that I may win <2770> Christ <5547>,

9. And be found <2147> in him, not having <2192> mine <1699> own <1699> righteousness <1343>, which < 3588> is of the law <3551>, but that which <3588> is through <1223> the faith <4102> of Christ <5547>, the righteousness <1343> which <3588> is of God <2316> by faith <4102>:

10 That I may know <1097> him, and the power <1411> of his resurrection <386>, and the fellowship <2842> of his sufferings <3804>, being made <4832> conformable <4832> unto his death <2288>;

11 If <1513> by any <4458> means <4458> I might attain <2658> unto the resurrection <1815> of the dead <3498>.

12 Not as though <3754> I had already <2235> attained <2983>, either <2228> were already <2235> perfect <5048>: but I follow <1377> after, if <1499> that I may apprehend <2638> that for which <3739> also < 2532> I am apprehended <2638> of Christ <5547> Jesus < 2424>.

13 Brethren <80>, I count <3049> not myself to have apprehended <2638>: but [this] one <1520> thing <1520> [I do], forgetting <1950> those <3588> things which are behind <3694>, and reaching <1901> forth <1901> unto those < 3588> things which are before <1715>,

14 I press <1377> toward <2596> the mark < 4649> for the prize <1017> of the high <507> calling < 2821> of God <2316> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.

15. Let us therefore <3767>, as many <3745> as be perfect <5046>, be thus <5124> minded <5426>: and if < 1487> in any <1536> thing ye be otherwise <2088> minded < 5426>, God <2316> shall reveal <601> even <2532> this <5124> unto you.

16 Nevertheless <4133>, whereto <3739> we have already <5348> attained <5348>, let us walk <4748> by the same <846> rule <2583>, let us mind <5426> the same <846> thing.

17. Brethren <80>, be followers <4831> together < 4831> of me, and mark <4648> them which walk <4043> so < 3779> as ye have <2192> us for an ensample <5179>.

18 (For many <4183> walk <4043>, of whom < 3739> I have told <3004> you often <4183>, and now < 3568> tell <3004> you even <2532> weeping <2799>, [that they are] the enemies <2190> of the cross <4716> of Christ <5547>:

19 Whose <3739> end <5056> [is] destruction < 684>, whose <3739> God <2316> [is their] belly <2836>, and [whose <3588>] glory <1391> [is] in their shame < 152>, who <3588> mind <5426> earthly <1919> things.)

20 For our conversation <4175> is in heaven <3772>; from whence <3739> also <2532> we look <553> for the Saviour <4990>, the Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ < 5547>:

21 Who shall change <3345> our vile <5014> body < 4983>, that it may be fashioned <4832> like <4832> unto his glorious <1391> body <4983>, according <2596> to the working <1753> whereby <3588> he is able <1410> even < 2532> to subdue <5293> all <3956> things unto himself < 1438>.

Philippians 4

1. Therefore <5620>, my brethren <80> dearly beloved <27> and longed <1973> for, my joy <5479> and crown < 4735>, so <3779> stand <4739> fast in the Lord <2962>, [my] dearly beloved <27>.

2 I beseech <3870> Euodias <2136>, and beseech < 3870> Syntyche <4941>, that they be of the same <846> mind <5426> in the Lord <2962>.

3 And I intreat <2065> thee also <2532>, true < 1103> yokefellow <4805>, help <4815> those <846> women which <3748> laboured <4866> with me in the gospel < 2098>, with Clement <2815> also <2532>, and [with] other <3062> my fellowlabourers <4904>, whose <3739> names < 3686> [are] in the book <976> of life <2222>.

4 Rejoice <5463> in the Lord <2962> alway < 104>: [and] again <3825> I say <2046>, Rejoice <5463>.

5 Let your <5216> moderation <1933> be known < 1097> unto all <3956> men <444>. The Lord <2962> [is] at <1451> hand <1451>.

6 Be careful <3309> for nothing <3367>; but in every <3596> thing by prayer <4335> and supplication < 1162> with thanksgiving <2169> let your <5216> requests < 155> be made <1107> known <1107> unto God <2316>.

7 And the peace <1515> of God <2316>, which < 3588> passeth <5242> all <3956> understanding <3563>, shall keep <5432> your <5216> hearts <2588> and minds <3540> through <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>.

8 Finally <3063>, brethren <80>, whatsoever < 3745> things are true <227>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] honest <4586>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] just <1342> , whatsoever <3745> things [are] pure <53>, whatsoever < 3745> things [are] lovely <4375>, whatsoever <3745> things [are] of good <2163> report <2163>; if <1487> [there be] any <1536> virtue <703>, and if <1487> [there be] any <1536> praise <1868>, think <3049> on these <5023> things.

9 Those <5023> things, which <3739> ye have both <2532> learned <3129>, and received <3880>, and heard <191>, and seen <1492> in me, do <4238>: and the God < 2316> of peace <1515> shall be with you.

10. But I rejoiced <5463> in the Lord <2962> greatly <3171>, that now <2236> at <4218> the last <4218> your <3588> care <5426> of me hath flourished <330> again <330>; wherein <3757> ye were also <2532> careful <5426>, but ye lacked <170> opportunity <170>.

11 Not that I speak <3004> in respect <2596> of want <5304>: for I have learned <3129>, in whatsoever < 3739> state I am <1510>, [therewith] to be content <842>.

12 I know <1492> both <2532> how to be abased < 5013>, and I know <1492> how to abound <4052>: every < 3596> where <3956> and in all <3956> things I am instructed <3453> both <2532> to be full <5526> and to be hungry <3983>, both <2532> to abound <4052> and to suffer < 5302> need.

13 I can <2480> do <2480> all <3956> things through <1722> Christ <5547> which <3588> strengtheneth <1743> me.

14 Notwithstanding <4133> ye have well <2573> done <4160>, that ye did communicate <4790> with my affliction < 2347>.

15 Now <1161> ye Philippians <5374> know < 1492> also <2532>, that in the beginning <746> of the gospel <2098>, when <3753> I departed <1831> from Macedonia <3109>, no <3762> church <1577> communicated <2841> with me as concerning <3056> giving <1394> and receiving <3028>, but ye only <3441>.

16 For even <2532> in Thessalonica <2332> ye sent <3992> once <530> and again <1364> unto my necessity < 5532>.

17 Not because <3754> I desire <1934> a gift < 1390>: but I desire <1934> fruit <2590> that may abound < 4121> to your <5216> account <3056>.

18 But I have <568> all <3956>, and abound < 4052>: I am full <4137>, having received <1209> of Epaphroditus <1891> the things [which were sent] from you, an odour <3744> of a sweet <2175> smell <2175>, a sacrifice < 2378> acceptable <1184>, wellpleasing <2101> to God < 2316>.

19 But my God <2316> shall supply <4137> all < 3956> your <5216> need <5532> according <2596> to his riches <4149> in glory <1391> by Christ <5547> Jesus < 2424>.

20. Now <1161> unto God <2316> and our Father < 3962> [be] glory <1391> for ever <165> and ever <165>. Amen <281>.

21 Salute <782> every <3596> saint <40> in Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>. The brethren <80> which are with me greet <782> you.

22 All <3956> the saints <40> salute <782> you, chiefly <3122> they that are of Caesar's <2541> household <3614>.

23 The grace <5485> of our Lord <2962> Jesus < 2424> Christ <5547> [be] with you all <3956>. Amen < 281>.
