Philippians Chapter 1
Philippians 1:1 (AMP)
1 Paul and Timothy, bond servants of Christ Jesus (the Messiah), to all the saints (God’s consecrated people) in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops (overseers) and deacons (assistants):
Philippians 1:2 (NIV)
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:3 (NKJV)
3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Philippians 1:4 (AMP)
4 In every prayer of mine I always make my entreaty and petition for you all with joy (delight).
Philippians 1:5 (NASB)
5 in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:6 (NASB)
6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:7 (CJB)
7 It is right for me to think this way about you all, because I have you on my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and establishing the Good News, you are all sharing with me in this privileged work.
Philippians 1:8 (CJB)
8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the deep affection of the Messiah Jesus.
Philippians 1:9 (NIV)
9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
Philippians 1:10 (NKJV)
10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,
Philippians 1:11 (CJB)
11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus the Messiah — to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:12 (NIV)
12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel.
Philippians 1:13 (NIV)
13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
Philippians 1:14 (CJB)
14 Also, my being in prison has given most of the brothers in the Lord confidence, so that they have become much more bold in speaking the word of God fearlessly.
Philippians 1:15 (CJB)
15 True, some are proclaiming the Messiah out of jealousy and rivalry, but others are doing it in goodwill.
Philippians 1:16 (CJB)
16 The latter act from love, aware that I am put where I am for defending the Good News;
Philippians 1:17 (NASB)
17 the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.
Philippians 1:18 (CJB)
18 But so what? All that matters is that in every way, whether honestly or in pretense, the Messiah is being proclaimed; and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
Philippians 1:19 (AMP)
19 For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel.
Philippians 1:20 (NKJV)
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
Philippians 1:21 (NIV)
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:22 (NIV)
22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
Philippians 1:23 (CJB)
23 I am caught in a dilemma: my desire is to go off and be with the Messiah — that is better by far —
Philippians 1:24 (NIV)
24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
Philippians 1:25 (NIV)
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
Philippians 1:26 (NIV)
26 so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.
Philippians 1:27 (NIV)
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel
Philippians 1:28 (AMP)
28 And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God.
Philippians 1:29 (NIV)
29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,
Philippians 1:30 (AMP)
30 So you are engaged in the same conflict which you saw me [wage] and which you now hear to be mine [still].
Philippians Chapter 2
Philippians 2:1 (CJB)
1 Therefore, if you have any encouragement for me from your being in union with the Messiah, any comfort flowing from love, any fellowship with me in the Spirit, or any compassion and sympathy,
Philippians 2:2 (NIV)
2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
Philippians 2:4 (NASB)
4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:5 (NASB)
5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:6 (CJB)
6 Though he was in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God something to be possessed by force.
Philippians 2:7 (NIV)
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
Philippians 2:8 (NIV)
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death– even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:9 (NIV)
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
Philippians 2:10 (NIV)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Philippians 2:11 (NASB)
11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:12 (NASB)
12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;
Philippians 2:13 (NASB)
13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:14 (AMP)
14 Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [against God] and questioning and doubting [among yourselves],
Philippians 2:15 (NASB)
15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,
Philippians 2:16 (NASB)
16 holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.
Philippians 2:17 (NKJV)
17 Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
Philippians 2:18 (CJB)
18 Likewise, you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Philippians 2:19 (AMP)
19 But I hope and trust in the Lord Jesus soon to send Timothy to you, so that I may also be encouraged and cheered by learning news of you.
Philippians 2:20 (NASB)
20 For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.
Philippians 2:21 (AMP)
21 For the others all seek [to advance] their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
Philippians 2:22 (NIV)
22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
Philippians 2:23 (NASB)
23 Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;
Philippians 2:24 (CJB)
24 and I am confident in the Lord that before long I myself will come too.
Philippians 2:25 (NIV)
25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.
Philippians 2:26 (CJB)
26 since he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard he was ill.
Philippians 2:27 (CJB)
27 Indeed he was ill, close to death; but God had mercy on him — and not only on him, but also on me — otherwise I would have had sorrow piled on sorrow.
Philippians 2:28 (NASB)
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 about you.
Philippians 2:29 (AMP)
29 Welcome him [home] then in the Lord with all joy, and honor and highly appreciate men like him,
Philippians 2:30 (AMP)
30 For it was through working for Christ that he came so near death, risking his [very] life to complete the deficiencies in your service to me [which distance prevented you yourselves from rendering].
Philippians Chapter 3
Philippians 3:1 (NASB)
1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.
Philippians 3:2 (AMP)
2 Look out for those dogs [Judaizers, legalists], look out for those mischief-makers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.
Philippians 3:3 (CJB)
3 For it is we who are the Circumcised, we who worship by the Spirit of God and make our boast in the Messiah Yeshua! We do not put confidence in human qualifications,
Philippians 3:4 (CJB)
4 even though I certainly have grounds for putting confidence in such things. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for putting confidence in human qualifications, I have better grounds:
Philippians 3:5 (AMP)
5 Circumcised when I was eight days old, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew [and the son] of Hebrews; as to the observance of the Law I was of [the party of] the Pharisees,
Philippians 3:6 (NIV)
6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for legalistic righteousness, faultless.
Philippians 3:7 (NASB)
7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.
Philippians 3:8 (CJB)
8 Not only that, but I consider everything a disadvantage in comparison with the supreme value of knowing the Messiah Jesus as my Lord. It was because of him that I gave up everything and regard it all as garbage, in order to gain the Messiah
Philippians 3:9 (AMP)
9 And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.
Philippians 3:10 (NASB)
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;
Philippians 3:11 (CJB)
11 so that somehow I might arrive at being resurrected from the dead.
Philippians 3:12 (CJB)
12 It is not that I have already obtained it or already reached the goal — no, I keep pursuing it in the hope of taking hold of that for which the Messiah Jesus took hold of me.
Philippians 3:13 (NKJV)
13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)
14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:15 (NKJV)
15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you.
Philippians 3:16 (NKJV)
16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.
Philippians 3:17 (NASB)
17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us.
Philippians 3:18 (NASB)
18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,
Philippians 3:19 (NKJV)
19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame–who set their mind on earthly things.
Philippians 3:20 (CJB)
20 But we are citizens of heaven, and it is from there that we expect a Deliverer, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Philippians 3:21 (AMP)
21 Who will transform and fashion anew the body of our humiliation to conform to and be like the body of His glory and majesty, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself.
Philippians Chapter 4
Philippians 4:1 (NASB)
1 Therefore, my beloved brethren whom I long to see, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, my beloved.
Philippians 4:2 (NASB)
2 I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.
Philippians 4:3 (NIV)
3 Yes, and I ask you, loyal yokefellow, help these women who have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
Philippians 4:4 (NASB)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:5 (NIV)
5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Philippians 4:6 (NASB)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:7 (NKJV)
7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:8 (NASB)
8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
Philippians 4:9 (NASB)
9 The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:10 (NIV)
10 I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it.
Philippians 4:11 (NIV)
11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
Philippians 4:12 (NIV)
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
Philippians 4:13 (NKJV)
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:14 (AMP)
14 But it was right and commendable and noble of you to contribute for my needs and to share my difficulties with me.
Philippians 4:15 (NASB)
15 You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;
Philippians 4:16 (AMP)
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.
Philippians 4:17 (7KB)
17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek to see the rewards that abound in your heavenly account through your giving on earth.
Philippians 4:18 (CJB)
18 I have been more than paid in full: I have been filled, since I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent — they are a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, one that pleases God well.
Philippians 4:19 (NASB)
19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:20 (NASB)
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Philippians 4:21 (NASB)
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.
Philippians 4:22 (NASB)
22 All the saints greet you, especially those of Caesar’s household.
Philippians 4:23 (NASB)
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
