Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus
who are at Philippi,
with the overseers and deacons:

Grace to you and peace
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

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

Tod

Denn Christus ist mein Leben, und Sterben ist mein Gewinn.

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
always in every prayer of mine for you all
making my prayer with joy,

because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

And I am sure of this,
that he who began a good work in you
will bring it to completion
at the day of Jesus Christ.

Gebet

And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

...work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling,

for it is God who works in you,
both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Do all things without grumbling or questioning,

that you may be blameless and innocent,
children of God
without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation,
among whom you shine as lights in the world,

holding fast to the word of life,
so that in the day of Christ
I may be proud that
I did not run in vain
or labor in vain.

Do nothing from rivalry
or conceit, but in humility
count others
more significant than yourselves.
Let each of you
look not only
to his own interests,
but also
to the interests
of others.

Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus,

who, though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God
a thing to be grasped,

but made himself nothing,
taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.

And being found in human form, he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to
the point of death,
even death on a cross.

Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
that is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

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

I press on
toward the goal
for the prize
of the upward call
of God in Christ Jesus.

But our citizenship
is in heaven,
and from it we await a Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ,

Unser Bürgerrecht aber ist im Himmel; woher wir auch erwarten den Heiland, den Herrn Jesus Christus,
der unsern nichtigen Leib verwandeln wird, dass er gleich werde seinem verherrlichten Leibe nach der Kraft, mit der er sich alle Dinge untertan machen kann.

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—
that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

Therefore, my brothers,
whom I love and long for,
my joy and crown,
stand firm thus in the Lord,
my beloved.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

And my God will supply
every need of yours
according to his riches in glory
in Christ Jesus.

To our God and Father
be glory forever and ever.
Amen.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Rejoice in the Lord always;
again I will say, rejoice.

do not be anxiousabout anything,
but in everything
by prayer and supplication
with thanksgiving
let your requests
be made known to God.

Finally, brothers,
whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, whatever is just,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable,
if there is any excellence,
if there is anything worthy of praise,
think about these things.

What you have learned and received
and heard and seen in me—
practice these things,
and the God of peace
will be with you.
