New Testament Philippians
Philippians 1
King
James Version
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 unto you, and
peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God upon
every remembrance of you, 4 Always in every prayer
of mine for you all making request with joy, 5 For your fellowship in
the gospel from the first day until now; 6 Being confident of this
very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ: 7 Even as it is meet for
me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are
partakers of my grace. 8 For God is my record,
how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 9 And this I pray, that
your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 That ye may approve
things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till
the day of Christ. 11 Being filled with the
fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise
of God. 12 But I would ye should
understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out
rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13 So that my bonds in
Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 And many of the
brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach
Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of
good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to
add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love,
knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then?
notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or
in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 19 For I know that this
shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit
of Jesus Christ, 20 According to my earnest
expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with
all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is
Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the
flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I
shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait
betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ;
which is far better: 24 Nevertheless to abide
in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this
confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your
furtherance and joy of faith; 26 That your rejoicing may
be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. 27 Only let your
conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and
see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in
one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28 And in nothing
terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of
perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29 For unto you it is
given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe
on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30 Having the same
conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. Philippians 2
King
James Version
2 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 Fulfil ye my joy, that
ye be likeminded, 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. 4 Look not every man on
his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in
you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form
of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no
reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the
likeness of men: 8 And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even
the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath
highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and
things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which
worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without
murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a
crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 Holding forth the word
of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in
vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be
offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with
you all. 18 For the same cause also
do ye joy, and rejoice with me. 19 But I trust in the Lord
Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort,
when I know your state. 20 For I have no man
likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 21 For all seek their own,
not the things which are Jesus Christ's. 22 But ye know the proof
of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. 23 Him therefore I hope to
send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 24 But I trust in the Lord
that I also myself shall come shortly. 25 Yet I supposed it
necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but
your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 26 For he longed after you
all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been
sick. 27 For indeed he was sick
nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me
also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I sent him therefore
the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I
may be the less sorrowful. 29 Receive him therefore
in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 30 Because for the work of
Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of
service toward me. Philippians 3
King
James Version
3 Finally,
my brethren, 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. 4 Though I might also
have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof
he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of
Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 Concerning zeal,
persecuting the church; touching the righteousness
which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were
gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I
count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them
but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him,
not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 That I may know him,
and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death; 11 If by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had
already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I
may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended
of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not
myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as
many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing
ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto
we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same
thing. 17 Brethren, be followers
together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even
weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is
destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who
mind earthly things.) 20 For our conversation is
in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our
vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to
the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Philippians 4
King
James Version
4 Therefore,
my brethren 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 intreat thee
also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured
with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord
always: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be
known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful
for nothing; but in every thing by prayer
and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your
hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things. 9 Those things, which ye
have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God
of peace shall be with you. 10 But I rejoiced in the
Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again;
wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in
respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to
be content. 12 I know both how to be
abased, and I know how to abound: every
where and in all things I am
instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer
need. 13 I can do all things
through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have
well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know
also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no
church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in
Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a
gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and
abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent
from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice
acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply
all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our
Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 21 Salute every saint in
Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22 All the saints salute
you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household. 23 The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. |
