Philippians

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

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.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

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.

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;

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

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.

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
