Introduction

Philippians 1: PAUL and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah, to all the Saints that are in Yeshua the Messiah at Philippi, with the elders and servants. 2 *merciful kindness* be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from our Master Yeshua the Messiah. 3 I thank my God at the constant recollection of you, 4 in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore; 5 on account of your fellowship in the *Good News*, from the first day until now. 6 Because I am confident of this, that he who has begun the good works in you, will accomplish them until the day of our Master Yeshua the Messiah. 7 For thus it is right for me to think of you all, because you are permanently in my mind, and because, both in my bonds and in the vindication of the truth of the Evangel, you are my associates in *merciful kindness* . 8 For God is my witness, how I love you in the compassion* [1] of Yeshua the Messiah. 9 And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and in all spiritual understanding: 10 so that you may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah, 11 and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Yeshua the Messiah, to the praise and praise of God. 12 And I would that you might know, my brethren, that the transaction in regard to me, has eventuated rather for the furtherance of the Evangel; 13 so that my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others. 14 Many of the brethren in our Master have become confident, on account of my bonds, and are more bold to speak the word of God without fear. 15 They herald it, some from envy and contention; but others with good will, and with love for the Messiah; 16 because they know that I am appointed for the vindication of the Evangel. 17 And those who herald the Messiah in contention, do it not sincerely; but they hope to add pressure to my bonds. 18 In this I have rejoiced, and [continue to] rejoice, that in every form, whether in pretence or in truth, the Messiah is heralded. 19 For I know, that these things will be found conducive to my life, thru your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah. 20 So that I hope and expect, that I will in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For my life is, the Messiah; and if I die, it is gain to me. 22 But if I have fruits of my labors in this life of the flesh, I dont know what I will choose. 23 For the two press on me: I desire to be liberated, that I may be with the Messiah; and this would be very advantageous to me. 24 But also the business in regard to you, urges on me to remain in the body. 25 This I confidently know, that I will continue and remain, for your joy, and for the furtherance of your faith; 26 so that when I come again to you, your glorying, which is in Yeshua the Messiah only, will abound thru me. 27 Let your conduct be becoming of the *Good News* of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that you strive together in the faith of the Evangel. 28 And in nothing be startled, by those who rise up against us; which is an indication of their destruction, and of life for you. 29 This is given to you by God, that you not only really believe in the Messiah, but also that you suffer on His account; 30 and that you endure conflict, as you have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.

See why “compassion” is better than “bowels”. Keyword bowels.

Philippians 2: So if you have consolation in the Messiah, or if a commingling of minds in love, or if a fellowship of the Spirit, or if compassion and sympathies; 2 complete my joy, by having one apprehension, and one love, and one soul, and one mind. 3 Do nothing in strife, or in vain glory; but, with lowliness of mind, let each esteem his neighbor as better than himself. 4 dont each of you be solicitous only for himself, but everyone also for his neighbor. 5 And do you think so in yourselves, as Yeshua the Messiah also thought; 6 who, as he was in the likeness of God, deemed it no trespass to be the coequal of God; 7 yet divested himself, and assumed the likeness of a servant, and was in the likeness of men, and was found in fashion as a man. 8 He humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross. 9 So also, God has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is more excellent than all names; 10 that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of beings in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Yeshua the Messiah is the Master, to the praise of God his Father. 12 So my beloved, as you have at all times obeyed, not only when I was near you, but now when I am far from you, work out your own salvation* [4991], with fear and with trembling. 13 For God is operating in you, both to purpose, and also to perform that which you desire. 14 Do all things without murmuring, and without altercation; 15 that you may be perfect and without blemish, as the sincere children of God, who is resident in a perverse and crooked generation; and that you may appear among them as luminaries in the world; 16 so that you may be to them in place of life; for my praise in the day of the Messiah, that I may not have run in vain or toiled for nothing. 17 And if I should be made a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and exult with you all. 18 And so also do you rejoice and exult with me. 19 But I hope in our Master Yeshua, that I will shortly send Timothy to you, so that I also may have composure, when informed concerning you. 20 For I have no other one here, who, like my self, will sincerely care for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua the Messiah. 22 But you know the proof of him, that as a son with his father, so he labored with me in the Evangel. 23 I hope to send him to you shortly, when I’ve seen how things result with me. 24 I trust in my Master, that I will shortly come to you myself. 25 But now, a circumstance urged me to send to you Epaphroditus, the brother who is an assistant and laborer with me, but is your herald, and servant* [3011] of my necessities. 26 For he longed to see you, and was anxious, because he knew you had heard, that he was sick. 27 Indeed he was sick, near to death: but God had mercy on him: nor was it on him only, but also on me, that I might not have trouble on trouble. 28 So I have sent him promptly to you; so that when you see him, you may again be joyful, and I may have a little breathing. 29 Receive him then in the Master, with all joy; and hold in honor those who are such. 30 For, because of the Messiah’s work, he came near to death, and little regarded his life, that he might fulfill what you lacked in the ministration to me.

Philippians 3: Finally, my brethren, rejoice in our Master. To write these things again and again to you, is not irksome to me, because they make you cautious. 2 Beware of dogs; beware of evil doers; beware of the clipped in flesh. 3 For we are the real circumcision, who worship God in spirit, and praise in Yeshua the Messiah, and place no reliance on the flesh. 4 And yet I might place reliance on the flesh. For, if any one thinks that his reliance should be on the flesh, I might do so more than he. 5 Circumcised when eight days old; of the stock of Israel; of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew, descendant of Hebrews; as to the Torah*, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the Assembly; and as to the righteousness of the Torah*, I was without fault. 7 But these things, which had been my excellence, I have accounted a detriment, because of the Messiah. 8 And now also I account them all a detriment, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Yeshua the Messiah my Master; for the sake of whom, I have parted with all things, and have accounted them as dung, that I might gain the Messiah, 9 and be found in him; since my righteousness is not now that from the Torah*, but that which is from faith in the Messiah, that is, the righteousness that is from God; 10 that thereby I might know Yeshua, and the efficacy of his resurrection; and might participate in his sufferings, and be assimilated to his death: 11 if so be, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not as tho I had already taken the prize, or were already complete; but I run in the race, if so I may take that, for which Yeshua the Messiah took me. 13 My brethren, I dont consider myself, as having taken it. But one thing I know, that I forget the things behind me, and reach for the things before me; 14 and I run straight for the goal, that I may obtain the prize of victory of the call of God from on high, by Yeshua the Messiah. 15 Therefore let those who are perfect, have these views; and if you differently view any thing, God will reveal that also to you. 16 Nevertheless, that we may attain to this, let us proceed on in one path, and with one consent. 17 Be like me, my brethren; and contemplate them, who walk after the pattern you have seen in us. 18 For there are many who walk otherwise; of who I have often told you, and I now tell you, with weeping, that they are adversaries of the cross of the Messiah; 19 whose end is destruction; whose god is their belly, and their praise their shame; whose thoughts are on things of the earth. 20 But our concern is with heaven; and from there we expect our Savior, our Master, Yeshua the Messiah; 21 who will change the body of our abasement, that it may have the likeness of the body of his glory, according to his great power, whereby all things are made subject to him.

Philippians 4: So my beloved and dear brethren, my joy and my crown!-so stand fast in our Master, my beloved! 2 I implore of Euodias and Syntyche, that they be of one mind in our Master. 3 I also implore of you, my true colleague*, that you assist those women who toiled with me in the Evangel; together with Clement, and with the rest of my helpers, whose names are written in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in our Master, at all times; and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your humility be recognized among all men. Our Master is near. 6 Be anxious for nothing; but at all times, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, make known your requests before God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all knowledge, will keep your minds and your minds, thru Yeshua the Messiah. 8 Finally, my brethren, what things are true, and what things are decorous, and what things are right, and what things are pure, and what things are lovely, and what things are commendable, and deeds of praise and approbation, on these be your thoughts. 9 What things you have learned, and received, and heard, and seen, in me, these do you: and the God of peace will be with you. 10 And I rejoice greatly in our Master, that you have again commenced caring for me; even as you had before cared for me, but you had not the opportunity. 11 Yet I say this, not because I was in want; for I have learned to make that satisfy me, which I have. 12 I know how to be depressed, and I also know how to abound in every thing; and in all things am I exercised, both in fullness and in famine, in abundance and in penury. 13 I find strength for every thing, in the Messiah who strengthens me. 14 Yet you have done well, in that you communicated to my necessities. 15 And you know also, Philippians, that in the beginning of the annunciation, when I left Macedonia, not one of the assemblies communicated with me in respect to receiving and giving, except you only; 16 that also at Thessalonica, once and again you sent me relief. 17 Not that I desire a gift; but I wish fruits may multiply to you. 18 I have now received all, and I abound, and am full: and I accepted all that you sent to me by Epaphroditus, a sweet odor, and an acceptable sacrifice that pleases God. 19 And may God supply all your necessity, according to his riches, in the praise of Yeshua the Messiah. 20 And to God our Father, be praise and honor, forever and ever. Amen. 21 Salute all the Saints who is in Yeshua the Messiah. The brethren who is with me, salute you. 22 All the Saints salute you, especially those of Caesar’s household. 23 The *merciful kindness* of our Master Yeshua the Messiah, be with you all. Amen.
