¹Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

KJVTherefore^G5620, my^G3450 brethren^G80 dearly beloved^G27 and^G2532 longed for^G1973, my^G3450 joy^G5479 and^G2532 crown^G4735, so^G3779 stand fast^G4739^(G5720) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, my dearly beloved^G27.

² I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.

KJVI beseech^G3870^(G5719) Euodias^G2136, and^G2532 beseech^G3870^(G5719) Syntyche^G4941, that they be of^G5426 the same^G846 mind^G5426^(G5721) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962.

³ Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

KJVAnd^G2532 I intreat^G2065^(G5719) thee^G4571 also^G2532, true^G1103 yokefellow^G4805, help^G4815^(G5732) those women^G846 which^G3748 laboured^G4866^(G5656) with me^G3427 in^G1722 the gospel^G2098, with^G3326 Clement^G2815 also^G2532, and^G2532 with other^G3062 my^G3450 fellowlabourers^G4904, whose^G3739 names^G3686 are in^G1722 the book^G976 of life^G2222.

⁴ Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”

KJVRejoice^G5463^(G5720) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 alway^G3842: and again^G3825 I say^G2046^(G5692), Rejoice^G5463^(G5720).

⁵ Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

KJVLet^G1097 your^G5216 moderation^G1933 be known^G1097^(G5682) unto all^G3956 men^G444. The Lord^G2962 is at hand^G1451.

⁶ In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

KJVBe careful^G3309^(G5720) for nothing^G3367; but^G235 in^G1722 every thing^G3956 by prayer^G4335 and^G2532 supplication^G1162 with^G3326 thanksgiving^G2169 let^G1107 your^G5216 requests^G155 be made known^G1107^(G5744) unto^G4314 God^G2316.

⁷ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

KJVAnd^G2532 the peace^G1515 of God^G2316, which^G3588 passeth^G5242^(G5723) all^G3956 understanding^G3563, shall keep^G5432^(G5692) your^G5216 hearts^G2588 and^G2532 minds^G5216^G3540 through^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

⁸ Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

KJVFinally^G3063, brethren^G80, whatsoever things^G3745 are^G2076^(G5748) true^G227, whatsoever things^G3745 are honest^G4586, whatsoever things^G3745 are just^G1342, whatsoever things^G3745 are pure^G53, whatsoever things^G3745 are lovely^G4375, whatsoever things^G3745 are of good report^G2163; if there be any^G1536 virtue^G703, and^G2532 if there be any^G1536 praise^G1868, think^G3049^(G5737) on these things^G5023.

⁹ Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.

KJVThose things^G5023, which^G3739 ye have^G3129 both^G2532 learned^G3129^(G5627), and^G2532 received^G3880^(G5627), and^G2532 heard^G191^(G5656), and^G2532 seen^G1492^(G5627) in^G1722 me^G1698, do^G4238^(G5719): and^G2532 the God^G2316 of peace^G1515 shall be^G2071^(G5704) with^G3326 you^G5216.

¹⁰ But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.

KJVBut^G1161 I rejoiced^G5463^(G5644) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 greatly^G3171, that^G3754 now^G2235 at the last^G4218 your care^G5426^(G5721)^G330 of^G5228 me^G1700 hath flourished again^G330^(G5627); wherein^G1909^G3739 ye were^G5426 also^G2532 careful^G5426^(G5707), but^G1161 ye lacked opportunity^G170^(G5711).

¹¹ Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.

KJVNot^G3756 that I speak^G3004^(G5719) in respect^G3754^G2596 of want^G5304: for^G1063 I^G1473 have learned^G3129^(G5627), in^G1722 whatsoever state^G3739 I am^G1510^(G5748), therewith to be^G1511^(G5750) content^G842.

¹² I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.

KJV^G1161 I know^G1492^(G5758) both how to be abased^G5013^(G5745), and^G2532 I know^G1492^(G5758) how to abound^G4052^(G5721): every where^G1722^G3956 and^G2532 in^G1722 all things^G3956 I am instructed^G3453^(G5769) both^G2532 to be full^G5526^(G5745) and^G2532 to be hungry^G3983^(G5721), both^G2532 to abound^G4052^(G5721) and^G2532 to suffer need^G5302^(G5745).

¹³ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

KJVI can do^G2480^(G5719) all things^G3956 through^G1722 Christ^G5547 which^G3588 strengtheneth^G1743^(G5723) me^G3165.

¹⁴ However you did well that you shared in my affliction.

KJVNotwithstanding^G4133 ye have well^G2573 done^G4160^(G5656), that ye did communicate with^G4790^(G5660) my^G3450 affliction^G2347.

¹⁵ You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.

KJVNow^G1161 ye^G5210 Philippians^G5374 know^G1492^(G5758) also^G2532, that^G3754 in^G1722 the beginning^G746 of the gospel^G2098, when^G3753 I departed^G1831^(G5627) from^G575 Macedonia^G3109, no^G3762 church^G1577 communicated with^G2841^(G5656) me^G3427 as^G1519 concerning^G3056 giving^G1394 and^G2532 receiving^G3028, but^G1508 ye^G5210 only^G3441.

¹⁶ For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.

KJVFor^G3754 even^G2532 in^G1722 Thessalonica^G2332 ye sent^G3992^(G5656) once^G2532^G530 and^G2532 again^G1364 unto^G1519 my^G3427 necessity^G5532.

¹⁷ Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

KJVNot^G3756 because^G3754 I desire^G1934^(G5719) a gift^G1390: but^G235 I desire^G1934^(G5719) fruit^G2590 that may abound^G4121^(G5723) to^G1519 your^G5216 account^G3056.

¹⁸ But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.

KJVBut^G1161 I have^G568^(G5719) all^G3956, and^G2532 abound^G4052^(G5719): I am full^G4137^(G5769), having received^G1209^(G5666) of^G3844 Epaphroditus^G1891 the things which were sent from^G3844 you^G5216, an odour^G3744 of a sweet smell^G2175, a sacrifice^G2378 acceptable^G1184, wellpleasing^G2101 to God^G2316.

¹⁹ My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

KJVBut^G1161 my^G3450 God^G2316 shall supply^G4137^(G5692) all^G3956 your^G5216 need^G5532 according to^G2596 his^G846 riches^G4149 in^G1722 glory^G1391 by^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

²⁰ Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.

KJVNow^G1161 unto God^G2316 and^G2532 our^G2257 Father^G3962 be glory^G1391 for^G1519 ever^G165 and ever^G165. Amen^G281.

²¹ Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.

KJVSalute^G782^(G5663) every^G3956 saint^G40 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424. The brethren^G80 which are with^G4862 me^G1698 greet^G782^(G5736) you^G5209.

²² All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.

KJVAll^G3956 the saints^G40 salute^G782^(G5736) you^G5209,^G1161 chiefly^G3122 they that are of^G1537 Caesar's^G2541 household^G3614.

²³ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

KJVThe grace^G5485 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 be with^G3326 you^G5216 all^G3956. Amen^G281. To^G4314 the Philippians^G5374 written^G1125^(G5648) from^G575 Rome^G4516, by^G1223 Epaphroditus^G1891.

¹Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not tiresome, but for you it is safe.

KJVFinally^G3063, my^G3450 brethren^G80, rejoice^G5463^(G5720) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962. To write^G1125^(G5721) the same things^G846 to you^G5213, to me^G1698 indeed^G3303 is not^G3756 grievous^G3636, but^G1161 for you^G5213 it is safe^G804.

² Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

KJVBeware^G991^(G5720) of dogs^G2965, beware^G991^(G5720) of evil^G2556 workers^G2040, beware^G991^(G5720) of the concision^G2699.

³ For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

KJVFor^G1063 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) the circumcision^G4061, which^G3588 worship^G3000^(G5723) God^G2316 in the spirit^G4151, and^G2532 rejoice^G2744^(G5740) in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 have^G3982 no^G3756 confidence^G3982^(G5756) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561.

⁴ though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:

KJVThough^G2539 I^G1473 might^G2192 also^G2532 have^G2192^(G5723) confidence^G4006 in^G1722 the flesh^G4561. If any^G1536 other man^G243 thinketh^G1380^(G5719) that he hath whereof he might trust^G3982^(G5755) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, I^G1473 more^G3123:

⁵ circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

KJVCircumcised^G4061 the eighth^G3637 day, of^G1537 the stock^G1085 of Israel^G2474, of the tribe^G5443 of Benjamin^G958, an Hebrew^G1445 of^G1537 the Hebrews^G1445; as touching^G2596 the law^G3551, a Pharisee^G5330;

⁶ concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.

KJVConcerning^G2596 zeal^G2205, persecuting^G1377^(G5723) the church^G1577; touching^G2596 the righteousness^G1343 which^G3588 is in^G1722 the law^G3551,^G1096^(G5637) blameless^G273.

⁷ However, I consider those things that were gain to me as a loss for Christ.

KJVBut^G235 what things^G3748 were^G2258^(G5713) gain^G2771 to me^G3427, those^G5023 I counted^G2233^(G5766) loss^G2209 for^G1223 Christ^G5547.

⁸ Yes most certainly, and I count all things to be a loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ

KJVYea^G235 doubtless^G3304, and^G2532 I count^G2233^(G5736) all things^G3956 but loss^G2209 for^G1511^(G5750)^G1223 the excellency^G5242^(G5723) of the knowledge^G1108 of Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 my^G3450 Lord^G2962: for^G1223 whom^G3739 I have suffered the loss^G2210^(G5681) of all things^G3956, and^G2532 do count^G2233^(G5736) them^G1511^(G5750) but dung^G4657, that^G2443 I may win^G2770^(G5661) Christ^G5547,

⁹ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

KJVAnd^G2532 be found^G2147^(G5686) in^G1722 him^G846, not^G3361 having^G2192^(G5723) mine own^G1699 righteousness^G1343, which^G3588 is of^G1537 the law^G3551, but^G235 that which^G3588 is through^G1223 the faith^G4102 of Christ^G5547, the righteousness^G1343 which^G3588 is of^G1537 God^G2316 by^G1909 faith^G4102:

¹⁰ that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death,

KJVThat I may know^G1097^(G5629) him^G846, and^G2532 the power^G1411 of his^G846 resurrection^G386, and^G2532 the fellowship^G2842 of his^G846 sufferings^G3804, being made conformable^G4833^(G5746) unto his^G846 death^G2288;

¹¹ if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

KJVIf by any means^G1513 I might attain^G2658^(G5661) unto^G1519 the resurrection^G1815 of the dead^G3498.

¹² Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

KJVNot^G3756 as though^G3754 I had already^G2235 attained^G2983^(G5627), either^G2228 were already^G2235 perfect^G5048^(G5769): but^G1161 I follow after^G1377^(G5719), if^G1499 that I may apprehend^G2638^(G5632) that for^G1909 which^G3739 also^G2532 I am apprehended^G2638^(G5681) of^G5259 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

¹³ Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind and stretching forward to the things which are before,

KJVBrethren^G80, I^G1473 count^G3049^(G5736) not^G3756 myself^G1683 to have apprehended^G2638^(G5760): but^G1161 this one thing^G1520 I do, forgetting^G1950^(G5740) those things^G3303 which are behind^G3694, and^G1161 reaching forth unto^G1901^(G5740) those things which are before^G1715,

¹⁴ I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

KJVI press^G1377^(G5719) toward^G2596 the mark^G4649 for^G1909 the prize^G1017 of the high^G507 calling^G2821 of God^G2316 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424.

¹⁵ Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.

KJVLet^G5426 us therefore^G3767, as many as^G3745 be perfect^G5046, be^G5426 thus^G5124 minded^G5426^(G5725): and^G2532 if in any thing^G1536 ye be^G5426 otherwise^G2088 minded^G5426^(G5719), God^G2316 shall reveal^G601^(G5692) even^G2532 this^G5124 unto you^G5213.

¹⁶ Nevertheless, to the extent that we have already attained, let’s walk by the same rule. Let’s be of the same mind.

KJVNevertheless^G4133, whereto^G1519^G3739 we have already attained^G5348^(G5656), let us walk^G4748^(G5721) by the same^G846 rule^G2583, let us mind^G5426^(G5721) the same thing^G846.

¹⁷ Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.

KJVBrethren^G80, be^G1096^(G5737) followers together^G4831 of me^G3450, and^G2532 mark^G4648^(G5720) them which walk^G4043^(G5723) so^G3779 as^G2531 ye have^G2192^(G5719) us^G2248 for an ensample^G5179.

¹⁸ For many walk, of whom I told you often, and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ,

KJV(For^G1063 many^G4183 walk^G4043^(G5719), of whom^G3739 I have told^G3004^(G5707) you^G5213 often^G4178, and^G1161 now^G3568 tell^G3004^(G5719) you even^G2532 weeping^G2799^(G5723), that they are the enemies^G2190 of the cross^G4716 of Christ^G5547:

¹⁹ whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

KJVWhose^G3739 end^G5056 is destruction^G684, whose^G3739 God^G2316 is their belly^G2836, and^G2532 whose glory^G1391 is in^G1722 their^G846 shame^G152, who^G3588 mind^G5426^(G5723) earthly things^G1919.)

²⁰ For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVFor^G1063 our^G2257 conversation^G4175 is^G5225^(G5719) in^G1722 heaven^G3772; from^G1537 whence^G3739 also^G2532 we look for^G553^(G5736) the Saviour^G4990, the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

²¹ who will change the body of our humiliation to be conformed to the body of his glory, according to the working by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.

KJVWho^G3739 shall change^G3345^(G5692) our^G2257 vile^G5014 body^G4983, that^G1519 it^G846 may be^G1096^(G5635) fashioned like unto^G4832 his^G846 glorious^G1391 body^G4983, according to^G2596 the working^G1753 whereby he^G846 is able^G1410^(G5738) even^G2532 to subdue^G5293^(G5658) all things^G3956 unto himself^G1438.
