THE EPISTLE OF PAVL TO THE PHILIPPIANS.
Childrens and seruants dueties.
CHAP. I.
3 Hauing testified his godly and tender affection towardes the
Philippians, 12 he entreateth of himselfe, and his bondes:
22 And pricketh them forward by his owne example, 27
and exhorteth them to vnitie 28 and patience.
1 Paul note and Timotheus the seruants
of Iesvs Christ, to all
the Saintes in Christ Iesus which
are at Philippi, with the note Bishops,
and Deacons:
2 Grace be with you, and peace
Christian armour.
from God our Father, and from the Lorde Iesus
Christ.
3 I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect
memorie,
4 (Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying
with gladnesse)
5 Because of the note felowship which ye haue
in the Gospel, from the note first day vnto nowe.
6 And I am persuaded of this same thing, that
he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil
perfourme it vntill the note day of Iesus Christ,
7 As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all,
because I haue you in remembrance that both in
my note bands, and in my defence, & confirmation of
the Gospell you all were partakers of my note grace.
-- --
Christ our gaine.
8 noteFor God is my recorde, howe I long after
you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.
9 noteAnd this I pray, that your loue may abound,
yet more and more in knowledge, and in
all iudgement,
10 That ye may alowe those things which are
best, that ye may be pure, and without offence
vntill the day of Christ,
11 Filled with the note fruites of righteousnesse,
which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie & praise
of God.
12 ¶2; note I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that
the things which haue come vnto me, are turned
rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
13 So that my bandes note in Christ are famous
throughout all the note iudgement hall, and in all other
places,
14 In so much that many of the brethren in
the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and
dare more frankely speake the note word.
15 Some preache. Christ euen through enuie
and strife, and some also of good will.
16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention
and not note purely, supposing to adde more affliction
to my bandes.
17 But the others of loue, knowing that I am
set for the defence of the Gospell.
18 noteWhat then? yet Christ is preached all maner
wayes, whether it be vnder a note pretence, or
syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.
19 For I knowe that this shall turne to my
saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe
of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,
20 noteAs I feruently looke for, and hope, that in
nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence,
as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified
in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
21 For Christ is to me both in life, & in death
aduantage.
22 noteAnd whether to liue in the note flesh were
profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.
23 For I am distressed betweene both, desiring
to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best
of all.
24 Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more
needefull for you.
25 And this am I sure of, that I shal abide, and
with you all continue, for your furtherance and
ioy of your faith,
26 That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in
Iesvs Christ for me, by my comming
to you againe.
27 noteOnely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth
the Gospel of Christ, that whether I
come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of
your matters that ye note continue in one Spirit, and
in one mind, fighting together through the faith
of the Gospel.
Contention forbidden.
28 noteAnd in nothing feare your aduersaries,
which is to them a token of perdition, and to you
of saluation, and that of God.
29 noteFor vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that
not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer
for his sake,
30 noteHauing the same fight, which ye sawe in
me, and nowe heare to be in me.
CHAP. II.
1 He exhorteth them aboue all things 3 to humilitie, 6
and that by the example of Christ. 19 He promiseth to send
Timotheus shortly vnto them, 26 and excuseth the long
tarying of Epaphroditus.
1 If note there be therfore any consolation in note Christ,
if any comfort of loue, if any felowship of the
Spirit, if any note compassion and mercie,
2 Fulfill my ioye, that ye be like minded, hauing
the note same loue, being of one accorde, and of
one iudgement,
3 That nothing be done through contention
or vaine glory, but that in meekenesse of minde
euery man esteeme other better then himselfe.
4 Looke not euery man on his owne things,
but euery man also on the things of other men.
5 noteLet the same minde be in you that was
euen in Christ Iesus,
6 Who being in þe; note forme of God, note thought
it no robberie to be note equall with God:
7 But he made himself of note no reputation, &
tooke on him þe; note forme of a seruant, & was made
like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man.
8 He humbled himselfe, and became obedient
vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse.
9 noteWherefore God hath also highly exalted
him, and giuen him a note Name aboue euery name,
10 That at the Name of Iesus shoulde note euery
knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things
in earth, and things vnder the earth,
11 And that note euery tongue shoulde confesse
that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of
God the Father.
12 noteWherefore my beloued, as ye haue alwayes
obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but
now much more in mine absence, so note make an end
of your owne saluation with feare and trembling.
13 noteFor it is God which worketh in you, both
note the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure.
14 noteDo all things without note murmuring and
reasonings,
-- --
All seeke their owne.
15 noteThat ye may be blamelesse, & pure, and
the sonnes of God without rebuke in the middes
of a naughtie and crooked nation, among whom
yee shine as note lights in the world,
16 Holding forth the note worde of life, note that I
may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not
runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine.
17 Yea, and though I bee offered vp vpon the
note sacrifice, and seruice of your faith, I am glad,
and reioyce with you all.
18 For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce
with me.
19 noteAnd I trust in the Lorde Iesus, to sende
note Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be
of note good comfort, when I knowe your state.
20 For I haue no man like minded, who will
faithfully care for your matters.
21 noteFor note all seeke their owne, and not that
which is Iesus Christes.
22 But yee knowe the proofe of him, that as
a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me
in the Gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send assoone as I
knowe howe it will goe with me,
24 And trust in the Lorde, that I also my selfe
shall come shortly.
25 But I supposed it necessarie to sende my
brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion
in labour, and fellowe souldier, euen your messenger,
and he that ministred vnto me such things as
I wanted.
26 For he longed after all you, and was full
of heauinesse, because yee had heard that hee had
beene sicke.
27 And no doubt he was sicke, very neere vnto
death: but God had mercie on him, and not on
him onely, but on me also, least I should haue sorowe
vpon sorowe.
28 I sent him therefore the more diligently,
that when yee shoulde see him againe, yee might
reioyce, and I might be the lesse sorowfull.
29 Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all
gladnesse, and make much of such:
30 Because that for the note woorke of Christ he
was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life,
to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your
part towarde me.
CHAP. III.
2 He refuteth the vaine boastings of the false Apostles, 7 and
setteth Christ against them. 10 Hee setteth out the force
and nature of faith, 15 that laying all things aside, they
may be partakers of the Crosse of Christ, 18 the enemies
whereof he noteth out.
1 Moreouer, note my brethren, reioyce in the Lord.
noteIt grieueth mee not to write the note same
things to you, and for you it is a sure thing.
2 Beware of dogges: beware of euil workers:
beware of the note concision.
Righteousnesse by faith.
3 noteFor we are the circumcision, which worship
God in the spirite, and reioyce in Christ Iesus,
and haue no confidence note in the flesh:
4 noteThough I might also haue confidence in
the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath
whereof he might trust in the flesh, much more I,
5 Circumcised the eight day, of the kinred
of Israel, of the tribe of Beniamin, note an Ebrewe
of the Ebrewes, note by the Lawe a Pharise.
6 Concerning zeale, I persecuted þe; Church:
touching the righteousnesse which is in the Law,
I was vnrebukeable.
7 But the thinges that were note vantage vnto
me, the same I counted losse for Christes sake.
8 Yea, doubtlesse I thinke note all thinges but
losse for the excellent knowledge sake of Christ
Iesus my Lorde, for whome I haue counted all
things losse, and doe iudge them to bee dongue,
that I might note winne Christ,
9 And might bee founde in note him, that is,
note not hauing mine owne righteousnesse, which is
of the Lawe, but that which is through the faith
of Christ, euen the righteousnesse which is of
God through faith,
10 noteThat I may note know him, and the vertue of
his resurrection, & the note fellowship of his afflictions,
and be made conformable vnto his death,
11 If by any meanes I might attaine vnto the
note resurrection of the dead:
12 Not as though I had alreadie attained to
it, either were alreadie perfect: but I folow, if that
I may comprehend that for whose sake also I am
note comprehended of Christ Iesus.
13 Brethren, I count not my selfe, that I haue
attained to it, but one thing I doe: I forget that
which is behinde, and endeuour my selfe vnto
that which is before,
14 And followe hard toward the marke, for
the prise of the hie calling of God in Christ Iesus.
15 noteLet vs therefore as many as be note perfect,
be thus minded: and if yee be otherwise minded,
God shall reueile euen the same vnto you.
16 Neuerthelesse, in that whereunto wee are
come, let vs proceede by one rule, that wee may
minde one thing.
17 Brethren, bee followers of mee, and looke
on them, which walke so, as yee haue vs for an
ensample.
18 note noteFor many walke, of whom I haue told
you often, and nowe tell you weeping, that they
are the enemies of the Crosse of Christ:
-- --
Of bellie gods.
19 Whose note ende is damnation, whose God
is their bellie, and whose note glorie is to their shame,
which minde earthly things.
20 noteBut our conuersation is in heauen, from
whence also we looke for the note Sauiour, euen the
Lord Iesus Christ,
21 Who shall change our vile bodie, þt; it may
be fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according
to the working, whereby hee is able euen to
subdue all things vnto him selfe.
CHAP. IIII.
1 From particular exhortations, 4 hee commeth to generall.
10 Hee saieth that he tooke such ioy in their readinesse to liberalitie, 12 that hee will patiently beare the want.
1 Therefore, note my brethr&ebar;, beloued and longed
for, my ioy and my note crowne, so continue in
the note Lorde, yee beloued.
2 noteI pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche,
that they be of one accord in the Lord,
3 Yea, and I beseech thee, faithfull yokefellow,
helpe those women, which laboured with me
in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other
my fellowe labourers, whose names are in the
note note booke of life.
4 noteReioyce in the note Lorde alway, againe I
say, reioyce.
5 noteLet your note patient minde be knowen vnto
all men. noteThe Lord is at hand.
6 noteBe nothing carefull, but in all thinges let
your requestes be shewed vnto God in praier, and
supplication with note giuing of thankes.
7 And the note peace of God which passeth all
vnderstanding, shall preserue your note heartes and
mindes in Christ Iesus.
8 noteFurthermore, brethr&ebar;, whatsoeuer things
are true, whatsoeuer things note are honest, whatsoeuer
Christ strengtheneth vs.
thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thinges are pure,
whatsoeuer thinges are worthie loue, whatsoeuer
things are of good report, if there be any vertue,
or if there be any praise, thinke on these things,
9 Which yee haue both learned & receiued,
and heard, and seene in mee: those things doe, and
the God of peace shalbe with you.
10 noteNowe I reioyce also in the Lord greatly,
that nowe at the last your care for mee springeth
afresh, wherein notwithstanding ye were careful,
but yee lacked opportunitie.
11 I speake not because of note want: for I haue
learned in whatsoeuer state I am, therewith to bee
content.
12 And I can be note abased, and I can abounde:
euery where in all things I am note instructed, both
to be full, and to be hungrie, and to abounde, and
to haue want.
13 I am able to do al things through the helpe
of Christ, which strengtheneth me.
