Chapter 1
How he prayed for the people of Philippi
From Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints who are sanctified in Jesus Christ, who are in Philippi, together with the bishops and deacons.
Peace to you and grace from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank God always in every remembrance of you.
And I pray at all times for you, and I make a prayer of joy.
On account of your participation with me in the teaching of the Gospel from the first day until now.
For I believe that it is he who has prepared for you a good work; he will accomplish for you until the day of Jesus Christ.
For truly for me, I hold this in my heart for you, for you are in my heart in my bonds and in my chains and in the teaching of righteousness, for you are with me in grace.

And God is my witness how I love you with the love of Christ.
And I pray concerning this, that your mutual love may increase and multiply in the understanding and in all the wisdom of the Spirit,
so that you may test and discern what is good and what is evil in deed, so that you may be saints without blemish on the day of Christ,
while you are full of the fruit of righteousness in Jesus Christ, in the glory and honor of God, on account of the imprisonment of Paul.
And I desire that my brothers know my news, that I have greatly increased in the teaching of the Gospel of Christ,
and that my bonds in Christ have become known among all the nations and among all people.
And that many of our believing brothers in our Lord have been strengthened by my bonds, and have greatly increased in honor, and they preach to them the word of God without fear.
And there are those who are in their zeal, and there are those who are in their envy, and there are those who desired to preach in good love and to teach concerning Christ.

...for I know that I have been appointed for the teaching of the Gospel. And again, those who by their remembrance speak concerning Christ, not in vain, but truly, they contend that their deeds may judge for me the pain in my members.
And now I rejoice in this, and I shall rejoice indeed in every circumstance: they speak concerning Christ, whether in equity or in faith, and they call all people to him.
And I know that this work will bring me to life, through your prayer and through the gift of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, life through Christ.
Because I have striven and trusted that I shall not be ashamed, nor in anything, truly openly, with joy of spirit as before. And now the members of Christ have increased in my body, whether in my life or in my death.
I myself, whether I have lived for Christ or whether I have died, it is enough for me.
And whether I have lived in my body, so that I may bear fruit in my work, and I have sinned, that which is worse for my soul than these two things which afflict me, their decisions.

I flee, I separate, and I am divided from the world, that I may be with Christ; and one by one they envy and accuse me of this.
And that I may also be again in the life of my body, steadfast for your sake.
And I believe, my lords, that this is so, that I may live and be for your joy and for the increase of your faith; as when I came again to you, your honor increased over me through Jesus Christ.
And by what they accuse me, let your work be a perpetual testimony for the teaching of Christ. And if I came to you, I see this.
And if, while I am, I hear concerning you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, while you contend in the zeal of the faith of the Gospel.
And while they do not trouble you with anything, those who accuse us, so that their malice and your life may be known.
And this grace which God has granted you is not perpetual, that you may believe in it; but rather, that you may also suffer for its sake.

And just as you contend, as you have seen me and heard about me,
Chapter 2
As they contend, they envy him.
And as if I were among you now, joy in Christ, or that which humbles the heart in love, or that which partakes in spirit, or in mercy and forgiveness.
Complete for me my joy, that I may be separated from it, and that you may be united in love, with one soul and one counsel.
And do not act in envy, nor in love of vain glory, do not be despised, and do not be proud.
But with a humble heart, honor your portion from your head, and do not be anxious for your own sake alone, but for your neighbor’s sake, because of the remembrance of the cross.
All of you, perfect ones, this is for us, as a servant for us, Jesus Christ.
He who is the image of God, not that he became God by force.
But he humbled himself, took the form of a servant, and became like a man.
And he became as a human, and he heard, and he was obedient until he reached death, and his death was on the cross.

And concerning this, God magnified and honored the name that is higher than every name, so that every knee in the heavens and on the earth and in the abysses and those beneath the earth might bow to the name of Jesus Christ, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, in the glory of God the Father.
And now I exhort you, as you have always heard me, and not because of my presence, remain steadfast. And again, one by one, while I am in fear and trembling, prepare yourselves for your life.
And it is God who will guide you to his will and fulfill for you his mercy, on account of a work without division and murmuring. And do all that you do with unanimity and with consent, without murmuring and without division, so that you may be pure and simple, as children of God, while you have no reproach among the children of the wicked and the perverse, and you shine as lights in the world.

while you marvel at the word of life, for I am in doubt on the day of Christ, for it is not in vain that I have run, and it is not in vain that I have finished.
And I have explained concerning the sacrifice of worship for your faith.
And now I rejoice and am glad for you, and you also rejoice and be glad for me, as Paul sends Timothy.
And I trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, as I send him to you for Timothy, as I also rejoice, having heard your news.
For I have no one like my beloved, besides him who can bear your burden in mind.
For every burden of his own is sweet, and not that of Christ.
And know this man, my beloved, as he has submitted to me like a son to his father for the teaching of the Gospel.
I send him to you quickly, having known that I am as I send him now.
And I trust in our Lord that I also will come quickly.
And now especially, be diligent concerning Aphroditus, our brother, who works with me and is a servant of Christ. And to you, your apostle and my messenger for my burden, I send him to you.

For he will press forward, he will show you, having taught what you have heard, how he ran and arrived at death.
And only the Lord is merciful, and it is not for him alone, but also for me, that you may be clothed upon clothing, and he will not hinder me.
And I sent him quickly so that you may see him and rejoice, and I also rejoice.
And I entrusted him to our Lord in all joy. And honor those who are like this.
For by the work of the Lord he arrived even unto death, and he will fulfill the desire of his soul, which I have commanded you in my epistle.
Chapter 3
On how one should guard against evil ones.
And now, my brothers, rejoice in our Lord. And this which I write to you will not be hidden from me, for it will strengthen you.
Guard yourselves also, and beware of dogs, and beware of evil servants, and beware of the circumcised in circumcision.
For we are the circumcised who serve the Lord in spirit, and we worship and we boast in Jesus Christ.

And if I were to boast in the flesh, while I am circumcised, then I would boast in circumcision.
And if there is one who trusts in circumcision, I would surpass him in this circumcision, for I am from the people of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew from the Hebrews, and a Pharisee according to the law of the Torah.
And with zeal I persecuted the Church, according to the righteousness of the Torah, pure in my zeal.
But only this one thing I have gained: I have glorified and magnified it on account of Christ.
And I have accepted all loss for the sake of the greatness of the power of the understanding of my Lord Jesus Christ, on whose account I have despised all and accepted it as a hand, as an increase for Christ.
And I am now without the righteousness of the Torah, without the righteousness of the faith of Christ from God.
And I have the understanding of Jesus and of the power of his resurrection, and I am kindled by his passion and I am formed by his death, a precious pearl.
If there is one who would understand this, at the time when the dead rise, then I have finished, taken up, and stripped off this.

English
But if I find a work on account of which he took me, Jesus Christ, O my brothers, it seems to me again that I have taken my end. For what is behind me I forget, and what is before me I fill. And I leave and seek my value, like a man of eye for the adornment of God above in Jesus Christ. All of you are perfect who have this. And if there is another who has it more than I, may God reveal it to you. But only in the work that we have attained do we strive in one fellowship. Imitate me, my brothers, and watch out for those who walk like this, when you see us. For many are those who walk a second path, as I tell you always. And now I openly tell you that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, those who are behind in freedom, those who worship their belly, and their honor is their loss, those who have what is in the earth for the sake of a heavenly inheritance.

And for us, our homeland is in the heavens, and from there we await our Savior Jesus Christ our Lord.
He who renews our flesh beneath and makes it resemble the flesh of his glory, according to the measure of his power, which suffices for him for all.
Chapter 4
The Practice of Virtue for the Righteous
And now, our beloved brothers, our joy and our crown: stand thus and be steadfast in our Lord, our brothers.
And I have exhorted you, Euodia and Syntyche, to be united in the mission of our Lord with one heart.
And I have exhorted you also, my brother and my fellow worker, to guide them, for they have labored with me in the teaching of the Gospel, along with Clement, and all the faithful whose works are one, whose names are written in the Book of Life, as a petition at the time of prayer.
Rejoice in our Lord always, and again I say to you, rejoice.
And let your gentleness be known to all people; God is near.

He has not ceased, nor is there anything else, but only pray at all times, and ask, while you are adorned, your petition to God.
And the peace of God, which is over all, and which surpasses all heart and all mind, strengthen your heart and your mind in Jesus Christ, honor and blessing.
And now, my brothers, everything that is planted, and that is pure, and that is righteous, and that is good, and that is love, and that is mercy, and the manifestation of what is fitting and what is adorned, has existed.
What you have learned, and what you have heard, and what you have seen from me, do that. And the God of peace be with all of you.
I rejoiced in our Lord exceedingly, because you are strong and you strive for my sake from before, as you strive for me still, and if it pleases you.
And I know what I say concerning what I have sinned, because I know that it is fitting for me to be patient.
For my part, I have been comforted and I have been delighted in everything, within all, for the sake of the sick. Far and near, sick and rejoicing, all food, in that which Christ has fed me.

And only good have I done you, that you have partaken in my suffering.
Marvel, you men of Philippi, at the beginning of my teaching when I came from Macedonia, how they associated with me, one of them from the church, and not by gift and not by request without your sole will.
Again, in Thessalonica also, a hundred and two gold pieces you sent to me for my imprisonment.
It is not that I have forgotten your gift which you sent; but I desire that the fruit of righteousness may increase over you.
And now I have received all that you sent to me.
And in addition, I have rejoiced in what Aphroditus brought to me from you, the good fragrance and the chosen and pure offering to God.
And my God will fulfill for you all your desire, according to the greatness of the glory of Jesus Christ and God our Father, to whom is glory forever and ever. Amen.
I believe in all the saints in Jesus Christ.
I believe in you, my brethren who are with me.
