Philippians 2:18

18 And you also, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Philippians 2:19-24

Timothy and Epaphroditus Sent

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to ^asend ^bTimothy to you shortly, so that I also may be in good spirits when I learn of your circumstances. 20 For I have no one else ^aof kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned about your circumstances. 21 For they all ^aseek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know ^aof his proven worth, that ^bhe served with me in the furtherance of the gospel ^clike a child serving his father. 23 ^aTherefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I ¹evaluate my own circumstances, 24 and ^aI am confident in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.

Philippians 2:25-30

« Phil 1Phil 2Phil 3 »

25 But I regarded it necessary to send to you ^aEpaphroditus, my brother and ^bfellow worker and ^cfellow soldier, who is also your ¹^dmessenger and ^aminister to my need; 26 because he was longing ¹for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned. 29 ^aReceive him then in the Lord with all joy, and ^bhold men like him in high regard 30 because he came close to death ¹^afor the work of Christ, risking his life to ^bfulfill ²what was lacking in your service to me.

Righteousness Through Faith in Christ

Finally, my brothers, ^arejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

Philippians 3:2

« Phil 2Phil 3Phil 4 »

2 Beware of the ^adogs! Beware of the ^bevil workers! Beware of the ¹mutilation!

Philippians 3:3

« Phil 2Phil 3Phil 4 »

3 For ^awe are the ¹circumcision, who ^bworship ²in the Spirit of God and ^cboast in ^dChrist Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh,

Philippians 3:4-14

« Phil 2Phil 3Phil 4 »

4 although ^aI myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 ^acircumcised the eighth day, of the ^bnation of Israel, of the ^ctribe of Benjamin, a ^bHebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, ^da Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, ^aa persecutor of the church; as to the ^brighteousness which is in the Law, found ^cblameless.
7 But ^awhatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss because of the surpassing value of ¹^aknowing ^bChrist Jesus my Lord, ²for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having ^aa righteousness of my own which is from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, ^bthe righteousness which is from God upon faith, 10 that I may ^aknow Him and ^bthe power of His resurrection and ¹^cthe fellowship of His sufferings, being ^dconformed to His death, 11 ¹in order that I may ^aattain to the resurrection from the dead.

Pressing On Toward the Goal

12 Not that I have already ^aobtained it or have already ^bbecome perfect, but I press on ¹so that I may ^clay hold of that ²for which also I ^dwas laid hold of by ^eChrist Jesus. 13 Brothers, I do not consider myself as having laid hold of it yet, but one thing I do: ^aforgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I ^apress on toward the goal for the prize of the ^bupward call of God in ^cChrist Jesus.

Philippians 3:15

« Phil 2Phil 3Phil 4 »

15 Let us therefore, as many as are ¹^aperfect, think this way; and if in anything you ^bthink differently, ^cGod will reveal that also to you.
