Philippians Flashcards
(104 cards)
Phi1:1
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Phi1:2
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phi1:3
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Phi1:4
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Phi1:5
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Phi1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Phi1:7
Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
Phi1:8
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Phi1:9
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Phi1:10
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Phi1:11
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Phi1:12
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
Phi1:13
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
Phi1:14
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Phi1:15
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Phi1:16
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Phi1:17
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Phi1:18
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Phi1:19
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Phi1:20
According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Phi1:21
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Phi1:22
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Phi1:23
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Phi1:24
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
