Philippians
(May the Blessings of JEHOVAH and My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be upon the Reading
and Studying of the Word. May the Holy Spirit Guide You and Me in Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding of YHVH'S Word.
The name of the LORD & God; as written in the King James Bible, is JEHOVAH.
See Exodus 6:3; Psalm 83:18 & Isaiah 12:2. See also Deuteronomy 10:17 & Isaiah 43:10 {KJV})
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 [JEHOVAH]
our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ. {Exodus 6:3 {KJV}, {Psalms 83:18 {KJV}, {Isaiah 43:10 {KJV} 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 he 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 wil: 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 he 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.
Chapter 2
1. 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 [JEHOVAH] 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. {Click Here For More Verses Relatiing To "The Sons Of God"}
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. Chapter 3
1. FInally, my brethen, 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 [JEHOVAH] in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have
no confidence in the flesh. {Exodus 6:3 {KJV} 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 [JEHOVAH] 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 [JEHOVAH] 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.
Chapter 4
1. 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 alway: [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 [JEHOVAH]. {Exodus 6:3 {KJV}, {Psalms 83:18 {KJV}, {Isaiah 43:10 {KJV}
7. And the peace of God [JEHOVAH],
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. ([To [the] Philippians written from Rome, by Epaphroditus.])
