people of God in Christ Jesus in Philippians together with the bishops and deacons grace and peace to you from God our father and the Lord Jesus Christ I thank my God every every time I remember you In all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy for your participation in the gospel from the first day until now, being sure that he who began a good work in you will carry it out to completion until the day of Christ . Jesus, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you as I have you in my heart and whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, you all share God's grace with me.

God can testify how much I long for all of you. with the affection of Christ Jesus and this is my prayer that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of discernment so that you can discern what is best and be pure and blameless for the day of Christ filled with the fruit of righteousness that It comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. As a result, it has become clear throughout the palace of God and to everyone else that I am chained.

For Christ and because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have acquired confidence in the Lord and dare even more to proclaim the gospel without fear. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of good will, the latter do so. they do it out of love knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel the first ones preach christ out of selfish ambition without sincerely assuming that they can cause me problems while I am in chains but that matters the important thing is that in every way whether for false motives or true Christ is preached and that is why I rejoice yes and I will continue to rejoice because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the spirit of God of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will result in my deliverance I hope and I look forward to that in no way will I be ashamed but that I will have enough courage so that now, as always, Christ is exalted in my body, whether through life or death, because for me to live is Christ and to die is gain.

If I am going to continue living in the body, this will mean fruitful work for me, but what will I choose? Don't know. I'm torn between the two. I wish to depart and be with Christ which is much better but it is more necessary for you to remain in the body convinced of this I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith so that through me being with you again Your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound because of me no matter what happens conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ then whether I go to see you or only hear from you in my absence I will know that you stand firm in one spirit fighting together for the faith of the gospel without being scared in any way by those who oppose you, this is a sign for them that they will be destroyed but that you will be saved and that by God it has been so. granted to you in the name of Christ not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him since you are going through the same struggle that you saw that I had and now here I still have Philippians chapter 2 therefore if you have any desire to be united with christ if there is any comfort from his love if there is any common sharing in the spirit if there is any tenderness and compassion then make my joy

being like-minded having the same love being one in spirit and of one mind do nothing for selfish ambition or vanity vanity rather with humility value others above yourselves not looking out for your own interests but each of you for the interests of others in your relationships with each other have the same mentality as Christ Jesus who being for nature god did not consider equality with god something to be used for his own benefit rather he became nothing by taking the very nature of a servant being made in human likeness and being found in the appearance of a man he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death and death on a cross that is why God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name so that at the name of Jesus every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth would bow and every tongue would recognize that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father therefore My dear friends, as you have always obeyed not only in my presence but now much more in my absence, continue to work in your salvation with fear and trembling because it is God who works in you to will and acting to fulfill its good purpose. do everything without complaining or arguing so that you may become pure and blameless children of God without guilt in a perverted and crooked generation, then you will shine among them like stars in the sky while holding firmly to the word of life and then I will be able glory on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain but although I am being poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith I rejoice and rejoice with you all so that you too You should rejoice and rejoice with me, I hope that the Lord Jesus send Timothy to you soon so that I too can rejoice when I receive news about you.

I don't have anyone else like him who shows genuine concern for your well-being because everyone cares. for his own interests not those of Jesus Christ but you know that Timothy has proven his worth because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel I hope that is why I will send him as soon as I see how things are going I and I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon but I think it is necessary to send you back Epaphroditus, my brother collaborator and companion in arms, who is also your messenger whom you sent to attend to my needs.

He misses them all and is distraught because they heard that he was sick, in fact he was sick and almost died, but God had mercy on him and not only on him, but also on me, to spare me pain after pain, therefore, I am even more eager to send him so that when you see him again you will be happy and I will have less anxiety to then welcome him into the Lord with great joy and honor people like him because he almost died for the work of Christ, he risked his life to compensate. for the help that you yourselves could not give me Philippians chapter three ahead my brothers and sisters rejoice in the Lord it is no problem for me to write the same things to you again and it is a safeguard for you be careful with those dogs those evildoers those mutilators of the flesh for it is we who are the circumcision we who serve god by his spirit who boast in Christ Jesus and who do not put confidence in the flesh although I myself have reasons for such confidence if anyone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh I have circumcised more on the eighth day of the people of Israel from the tribe of Benjamin a Hebrew of Hebrews regarding the law of the Pharisee regarding zeal persecuting the church regarding righteousness based on the blameless law But any gain for me now I consider loss for the sake of Christ, in fact, I consider everything a loss for the incomparable value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whose love I have lost everything, I consider it rubbish to gain Christ and to be found in not having one's own righteousness that comes from the law but that which is through faith in Christ the righteousness that comes from God based on faith I want to know Christ if I know the power of his resurrection and participation in His sufferings to become like him in his death and thus to somehow reach the resurrection from the dead is not that I have already obtained all this or have already reached my goal but that I continue forward to take possession of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me, brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have achieved it yet, but one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and striving for what is ahead, I continue towards the goal to win the prize to which God has called me from heaven in Christ Jesus. all the So we, who are mature, must have that vision of things and if at any point you think differently, God will clarify it for you, just let us live what we have already achieved, unite and follow my example, brothers and sisters, and simply Since you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live like us because as I have told you many times before, now I tell you again, even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Their destiny is destruction. Their god is their stomach. and his glory is in his shame his mind is set on earthly things but our citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a savior from there the Lord Jesus Christ who by the power that allows him to put everything under his control will transform our humble bodies so that be like his glorious body Philippians chapter 4. Therefore my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends, I beseech you, I beseech you, and I beseech you, Cintiki, to be of the same opinion.

In the Lord, yes, and I ask you, my faithful companion, help these women since they have fought at my side in the cause of the gospel along with Clemente and the rest of my collaborators whose names are in the book of life. Rejoice in the Lord, I will always say it. again rejoice let your kindness be evident to all the lord is near do not worry about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition with thanksgiving present your requests to god and the peace of god that transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus finally brothers and sisters whatever is true whatever is noble whatever is just whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if something is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things whatever you have learned or received or heard of me or seen in me put it into practice and the god of peace will be with you I was very happy in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me in fact you were worried but you did not have the opportunity to show it I am not saying this because I am needy.

I have learned to be happy in any circumstance. I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have abundance. I have learned the secret of being happy in each and every one. Situation, whether I am well fed or hungry, whether I live in abundance or in want, I can do all this through the One who gives me strength, but it was also good of you to share my problems, as you, the Philippians, they know in the early days of their knowledge of the gospel. When I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving except you, for even when I was in Thessalonica you sent me help more than once when I was in need, not that I desire your gifts what I desire. is that more be credited to your account I have received full payment and I have more than enough I am amply supplied now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me are a fragrant offering an acceptable sacrifice pleasing to god and my god will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus to our God and Father be glory forever and ever Amen Greetings to all the people of God in Christ Jesus To the brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings to all the people of God, here they send greetings especially to those who belong to the house of Caesar, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, Amen.
