\v 4 If anyone could have done enough things to please God, it would have been me.
\p
\v 5 They circumcised me seven days after I was born. I was born as one of the people of Israel. I am from the tribe of Benjamin. You cannot find a person more Hebrew than myself! My ancestors were all Hebrews. And it was as a Pharisee that I obeyed all the laws of Moses and what our ancestors taught about them.

\v 6 I was so passionate to make people obey the law that I caused believers in Christ to suffer. No one could say that I ever disobeyed the law.
\p
\v 7 But everything that I then considered to be important I now consider to be worthless, because Christ has changed me.

\v 8 Instead, even more I now consider all things as not only worthless, but as useless garbage to throw away, compared to how great it is to know Christ Jesus my Lord. I have removed from my life everything worthless in order to benefit from Christ.
\v 9 I now belong completely to Christ. I know that I cannot make myself good in God's sight by keeping the law. Instead I trust totally in Christ, so God has declared me good in His sight.

\v 9 I now belong completely to Christ. I know that I cannot make myself right in God's sight by keeping the law. Instead I trust totally in Christ, so God has declared me right in His sight.
\v 10 When God declared me good in his sight, he did this so that I could begin to know Christ, so that God could begin to work in me with the same power with which he raised Christ from the dead, so that I could begin to suffer along with Christ as he suffered, and so that Christ could make me more like him when he died.
\v 11 All of this is because I fully expect that God will cause me to live again, as he has promised.
\s5
\p
\v 12 I do not claim that all of these things have fully happened to me, yet I keep trying to receive these things because these things are why Christ Jesus took possession of me.
\v 13 My fellow believers I certainly do not yet think that all these things have completely happened to me. But I am like a runner, because I do not look backward as I run toward the finish line.
\v 14 Instead, I keep running toward the finish line, in order to win the prize, which is to live forever with God. This is what God has called me for and what Christ Jesus has made possible.

\v 15 So all of us who have become strong believers should think this same way. But if any of you do not think this same way, God will reveal this to you.

\v 20 As for us, we are citizens of heaven. It is from heaven that we are eagerly awaiting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to return.
\v 21 He will change the bodies we have now, weak and humble bodies, into bodies like his own powerful body. He will do this with the same power with which he controls all things.

\v 1 My fellow believers, I love you and I long for you. You give me joy; you will be the reason for which God will reward me. Dear friends, continue to believe firmly in the Lord, as I have described to you in this letter.

\v 2 I urge Euodia, and I urge Syntyche, because you belong to the Lord, stop arguing with each other.
\v 3 And I also urge you, my faithful partner, please help these women. They have faithfully proclaimed the good news and worked with me, together with Clement and the rest of my fellow laborers, whose names are in The Book of Life in which God has written the names of all those people who will live forever.

\v 8 Finally, my fellow believers, whatever is true, whatever is worthy for people to honor, whatever is right, whatever no one can find fault with, whatever is pleasing, whatever people should admire, whatever is good, whatever deserves people to praise it: These are the things that you should always be thinking about.

\v 15 My friends there at Philippi, you yourselves know that during the time I first proclaimed the good news to you, when I left there to go away from the province of Macedonia, no assembly of believers sent me funds or helped me in any way except you only!
\v 16 Even when I was in the city of Thessalonica, you sent money more than once to supply what I needed.
\v 17 I do not say this so that you will give me money now. Instead, I want to see you do even more things that God will praise you for.

\v 18 I have received enough money to meet the need, and even more than we need. I have received the gifts you send by Epaphroditus. These gifts are like a sweet-smelling offering that the priests would burn on the altar and those gifts you sent are pleasing to God just like the sweet-smelling offering were pleasing to him.

\v 19 God, whom I serve, will supply everything you need because you belong to Jesus Christ, who owns the splendor and wealth of heaven.
\v 20 So people should praise God our Father, who will rule forever and ever in brilliant light! Amen!

\v 21 Greet for me all the believers. They all belong to God! The believers with me greet you, as well.
\v 22 All of God's people here send their greetings to you. Especially the fellow believers who work in the palace of Caesar, the emperor, send their greetings to you.
