,christ4  #jja3jjc ,i thank my ,god     
whenever ,i remember you1  #jja3jjd     
always in every request of mine on      
behalf of you all making          my    
requests with joy1  #jja3jje for your   
partnership,the word translated         
partnership          7koinonia7 also    
means fellowship and sharing4 in        
furtherance          of the ,good ,news 
from the first day until now2  #jja3jjf 
being confident of this very thing1 that
 he who began a good          work in   
you will complete it until the day of   
,jesus ,christ4  #jja3jjg ,it is even   

right for me to think this way on behalf
 of all of you1          because ,i have
 you in my heart1 because1 both in my   
bonds          and in the defense and   
confirmation of the ,good ,news1        
you all are partakers with me of grace4 
#jja3jjh ,for ,god is my witness1 how ,i
 long after all of you in the tender    
mercies of ,christ ,jesus4  #jja3jji    
,this ,i pray1 that your love may abound
 yet more and more          in knowledge
 and all discernment2  #jja3jaj so that 
you may approve the things that are     
excellent2          that you may be     
sincere and without offense to the day  
of ,christ2  #jja3jaa being filled with 
the fruits of righteousness1 which are  
through ,jesus ,christ1 to the glory and
 praise of ,god4  #jja3jab ,now ,i      
desire to have you know1 brothers1,the  
word for brothers          here and     
where context allows may also be        
correctly translated          brothers  
and sisters or siblings4 that the things
          which happened to me have     

turned out rather to the progress       
of the ,good ,news2  #jja3jac so that it
 became evident to the whole praetorian 
guard1          and to all the rest1    
that my bonds are in ,christ2  #jja3jad 
and that most of the brothers in the    
,lord1 being confident          through 
my bonds1 are more abundantly bold to   
speak the word          of ,god without 
fear4  #jja3jae ,some indeed preach     
,christ even out of envy and strife1    
and some also out of good will4         
#jja3jaf ,the former insincerely preach 
,christ from selfish ambition1          
thinking that they add affliction to my 
chains2  #jja3jag but the latter out of 
love1 knowing that ,i am appointed      
for the defense of the ,good ,news4     
#jja3jah ,what does it matter8  ,only   
that in every way1          whether in  
pretense or in truth1 ,christ is        
proclaimed4          ,i rejoice in this1
 yes1 and will rejoice4  #jja3jai ,for  
,i know that this will turn out to my   
salvation1 through your                 

supplication and the supply of the      
,spirit of ,jesus ,christ1  #jja3jbj    
according to my earnest expectation and 
hope1 that ,i will          in no way be
 disappointed1 but with all boldness1 as
 always1          now also ,christ will 
be magnified in my body1 whether by     
life1          or by death4  #jja3jba   
,for to me to live is ,christ1 and to   
die is gain4  #jja3jbb ,but if ,i live  
on in the flesh1 this will bring fruit  
from my work2          yet ,i don't make
 known what ,i will choose4  #jja3jbc   
,but ,i am in a dilemma between the two1
 having the desire          to depart   
and be with ,christ1 which is far       
better4  #jja3jbd ,yet1 to remain in the
 flesh is more needful for your sake4   
#jja3jbe ,having this confidence1 ,i    
know that ,i will remain1 yes1 and      
remain          with you all1 for your  
progress and joy in the faith1  #jja3jbf
 that your rejoicing may abound in      
,christ ,jesus in me through          my
 presence with you again4  #jja3jbg     

,only let your manner of life be worthy 
of the ,good ,news          of ,christ1 
that1 whether ,i come and see you or am 
absent1          ,i may hear of your    
state1 that you stand firm in one       
spirit1          with one soul striving 
for the faith of the ,good ,news2       
#jja3jbh and in nothing frightened by   
the adversaries1 which is          for  
them a proof of destruction1 but to you 
of salvation1          and that from    
,god4  #jja3jbi ,because it has been    
granted to you on behalf of ,christ1    
not only to believe in him1 but also to 
suffer on his behalf1  #jja3jcj having  
the same conflict which you saw in me1  
and now hear          is in me4         
#jjb3jja ,if there is therefore any     
exhortation in ,christ1 if any          
consolation of love1 if any fellowship  
of the ,spirit1          if any tender  
mercies and compassion1  #jjb3jjb make  
my joy full1 by being like-minded1      
having the same love1          being of 
one accord1 of one mind2  #jjb3jjc doing

 nothing through rivalry or through     
conceit1 but in humility1          each 
counting others better than himself2    
#jjb3jjd each of you not just looking to
 his own things1 but each of you        
also to the things of others4  #jjb3jje 
,have this in your mind1 which was also 
in ,christ ,jesus1  #jjb3jjf who1       
existing in the form of ,god1 didn't    
consider equality          with ,god a  
thing to be grasped1  #jjb3jjg but      
emptied himself1 taking the form of a   
servant1 being made          in the     
likeness of men4  #jjb3jjh ,and being   
found in human form1 he humbled himself1
          becoming obedient to death1   
yes1 the death of the cross4  #jjb3jji  
,therefore ,god also highly exalted him1
 and gave to him the name          which
 is above every name2  #jjb3jaj that at 
the name of ,jesus every knee should    
bow1 of those in heaven1          those 
on earth1 and those under the earth1    
#jjb3jaa and that every tongue should   
confess that ,jesus ,christ is ,lord1   

to the glory of ,god the ,father4       
#jjb3jab ,so then1 my beloved1 even as  
you have always obeyed1          not    
only in my presence1 but now much more  
in my absence1          work out your   
own salvation with fear and trembling4  
#jjb3jac ,for it is ,god who works in   
you both to will and to work1           
for his good pleasure4  #jjb3jad ,do all
 things without murmurings and disputes1
  #jjb3jae that you may become blameless
 and harmless1 children of ,god without 
blemish in the midst of a crooked and   
perverse generation1          among whom
 you are seen as lights in the world1   
#jjb3jaf holding up the word of life2   
that ,i may have something          to  
boast in the day of ,christ1 that ,i    
didn't run in vain nor          labor in
 vain4  #jjb3jag ,yes1 and if ,i am     
poured out on the sacrifice and service 
of your faith1 ,i rejoice1 and rejoice  
with you all4  #jjb3jah ,in the same    
way1 you also rejoice1 and rejoice with 
me4  #jjb3jai ,but ,i hope in the ,lord 

,jesus to send ,timothy to you soon1    
that ,i also may be cheered up when ,i  
know how you are doing4  #jjb3jbj ,for  
,i have no one else like-minded1 who    
will truly care about you4  #jjb3jba    
,for they all seek their own1 not the   
things of ,jesus ,christ4  #jjb3jbb ,but
 you know the proof of him1 that1 as a  
child serves a father1          so he   
served with me in furtherance of the    
,good ,news4  #jjb3jbc ,therefore ,i    
hope to send him at once1 as soon as ,i 
see how it          will go with me4    
#jjb3jbd ,but ,i trust in the ,lord that
 ,i myself also will come shortly4      
#jjb3jbe ,but ,i counted it necessary to
 send to you ,epaphroditus1          my 
brother1 fellow worker1 fellow soldier1 
and your apostle          and servant of
 my need2  #jjb3jbf since he longed for 
you all1 and was very troubled1 because 
you          had heard that he was sick4
  #jjb3jbg ,for indeed he was sick1     
nearly to death1 but ,god had mercy on  
him2          and not on him only1 but  

on me also1 that ,i might not have      
sorrow on sorrow4  #jjb3jbh ,i have sent
 him therefore the more diligently1     
that1 when you see          him again1  
you may rejoice1 and that ,i may be the 
less sorrowful4  #jjb3jbi ,receive him  
therefore in the ,lord with all joy1 and
 hold          such in honor1  #jjb3jcj 
because for the work of ,christ he came 
near to death1          risking his life
 to supply that which was lacking in    
your          service toward me4        
#jjc3jja ,finally1 my brothers1 rejoice 
in the ,lord4  ,to write the same       
things to you1 to me indeed is not      
tiresome1 but for you          it is    
safe4  #jjc3jjb ,beware of the dogs1    
beware of the evil workers1 beware of   
the false circumcision4  #jjc3jjc ,for  
we are the circumcision1 who worship    
,god in the ,spirit1          and       
rejoice in ,christ ,jesus1 and have no  
confidence in the flesh2  #jjc3jjd      
though ,i myself might have confidence  
even in the flesh4          ,if any     

other man thinks that he has confidence 
in the flesh1          ,i yet more3     
#jjc3jje circumcised the eighth day1 of 
the stock of ,israel1 of the tribe      
of ,benjamin1 a ,hebrew of ,hebrews2    
concerning the law1 a ,pharisee2        
#jjc3jjf concerning zeal1 persecuting   
the assembly2 concerning the            
righteousness which is in the law1 found
 blameless4  #jjc3jjg ,however1 what    
things were gain to me1 these have ,i   
counted          loss for ,christ4      
#jjc3jjh ,yes most certainly1 and ,i    
count all things to be loss for         
the excellency of the knowledge of      
,christ ,jesus1 my ,lord1          for  
whom ,i suffered the loss of all things1
 and count them          nothing but    
refuse1 that ,i may gain ,christ        
#jjc3jji and be found in him1 not having
 a righteousness of my own1             
that which is of the law1 but that which
 is through faith          in ,christ1  
the righteousness which is from ,god by 
faith2  #jjc3jaj that ,i may know him1  

and the power of his resurrection1      
and the fellowship of his sufferings1   
becoming conformed          to his      
death2  #jjc3jaa if by any means ,i may 
attain to the resurrection from the     
dead4  #jjc3jab ,not that ,i have       
already obtained1 or am already made    
perfect2          but ,i press on1 if it
 is so that ,i may take hold of that for
          which also ,i was taken hold  
of by ,christ ,jesus4  #jjc3jac         
,brothers1 ,i don't regard myself as yet
 having taken hold1          but one    
thing ,i do4  ,forgetting the things    
which are behind1          and          
stretching forward to the things which  
are before1  #jjc3jad ,i press on toward
 the goal for the prize of the high     
calling          of ,god in ,christ     
,jesus4  #jjc3jae ,let us therefore1 as 
many as are perfect1 think this way4    
,if in anything you think otherwise1    
,god will also reveal          that to  
you4  #jjc3jaf ,nevertheless1 to the    
extent that we have already attained1   

let us walk by the same rule4  ,let us  
be of the same mind4  #jjc3jag          
,brothers1 be imitators together of me1 
and note those who walk          this   
way1 even as you have us for an example4
  #jjc3jah ,for many walk1 of whom ,i   
told you often1 and now tell you        
even weeping1 as the enemies of the     
cross of ,christ1  #jjc3jai whose end is
 destruction1 whose god is the belly1   
and whose          glory is in their    
shame1 who think about earthly things4  
#jjc3jbj ,for our citizenship is in     
heaven1 from where we also wait         
for a ,savior1 the ,lord ,jesus ,christ2
  #jjc3jba who will change the body of  
our humiliation to be conformed         
to the body of his glory1 according to  
the working by which          he is able
 even to subject all things to himself4 
#jjd3jja ,therefore1 my brothers1       
beloved and longed for1 my joy and      
crown1          so stand firm in the    
,lord1 my beloved4  #jjd3jjb ,i exhort  
,euodia1 and ,i exhort ,syntyche1 to    

think the same way          in the      
,lord4  #jjd3jjc ,yes1 ,i beg you also1 
true yokefellow1 help these women1      
for they labored with me in the ,good   
,news1 with ,clement also1          and 
the rest of my fellow workers1 whose    
names are in the          book of life4 
#jjd3jjd ,rejoice in the ,lord always6  
,again ,i will say1 ,rejoice6  #jjd3jje 
,let your gentleness be known to all    
men4  ,the ,lord is at hand4  #jjd3jjf  
,in nothing be anxious1 but in          
everything1 by prayer and petition      
with thanksgiving1 let your requests be 
made known to ,god4  #jjd3jjg ,and the  
peace of ,god1 which surpasses all      
understanding1          will guard your 
hearts and your thoughts in ,christ     
,jesus4  #jjd3jjh ,finally1 brothers1   
whatever things are true1 whatever      
things          are honorable1 whatever 
things are just1 whatever things are    
pure1          whatever things are      
lovely1 whatever things are of good     
report2          if there is any virtue1

 and if there is any praise1            
think about these things4  #jjd3jji ,the
 things which you learned1 received1    
heard1 and saw in me3          do these 
things1 and the ,god of peace will be   
with you4  #jjd3jaj ,but ,i rejoice in  
the ,lord greatly1 that now at length   
you          have revived your thought  
for me2 in which you did indeed         
take thought1 but you lacked            
opportunity4  #jjd3jaa ,not that ,i     
speak in respect to lack1 for ,i have   
learned          in whatever state ,i   
am1 to be content in it4  #jjd3jab ,i   
know how to be humbled1 and ,i know also
 how to abound4          ,in everything 
and in all things ,i have learned the   
secret          both to be filled and to
 be hungry1 both to abound and to       
be in need4  #jjd3jac ,i can do all     
things through ,christ1 who strengthens 
me4  #jjd3jad ,however you did well that
 you shared in my affliction4  #jjd3jae 
,you yourselves also know1 you          
,philippians1 that in the beginning     

of the ,good ,news1 when ,i departed    
from ,macedonia1 no assembly            
shared with me in the matter of giving  
and receiving          but you only4    
#jjd3jaf ,for even in ,thessalonica you 
sent once and again to my need4         
#jjd3jag ,not that ,i seek for the gift1
 but ,i seek for the fruit that         
increases to your account4  #jjd3jah    
,but ,i have all things1 and abound4  ,i
 am filled1 having          received    
from ,epaphroditus the things that came 
from you1          a sweet-smelling     
fragrance1 an acceptable and            
well-pleasing          sacrifice to     
,god4  #jjd3jai ,my ,god will supply    
every need of yours according to his    
riches          in glory in ,christ
