The Letter to the Philippians - Verse by Verse (2)

(NASB) Philippians 2:23 Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

(NASB) Philippians 2:24 and I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly.

(NASB) Philippians 2:25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need,

(NASB) Philippians 2:26 because he was longing for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

(NASB) Philippians 2:27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

(NASB) Philippians 2:28 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.

(NASB) Philippians 2:29 Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold people like him in high regard,

(NASB) Philippians 2:30 because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to compensate for your absence in your service to me.

(NASB) Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble for me, and it is a safeguard for you.

(NASB) Philippians 3:2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision;

(NASB) Philippians 3:3 for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and take pride in Christ Jesus, and put no confidence in the flesh,

(NASB) Philippians 3:4 although I myself could boast as having confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he is confident in the flesh, I have more reason:

(NASB) Philippians 3:5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee;

(NASB) Philippians 3:6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

(NASB) Philippians 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ.

(NASB) Philippians 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ,

(NASB) Philippians 3:9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

(NASB) Philippians 3:10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

(NASB) Philippians 3:11 if somehow I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

(NASB) Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already grasped it all or have already become perfect, but I press on if I may also take hold of that for which I was even taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
