Philippians 3:1-4:23 Moreouer, (brethren) reioyce ye in the Lorde. It greueth me not to wryte one thynge often to you. For to you it is a sure thynge.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Moreouer, (brethren) reioyce ye in the Lorde. It greueth me not to wryte one thynge often to you. For to you it is a sure thynge. ² Beware of dogges, beware of euyll workers. Beware of dissensyon. ³ For we are circumcisyon, which serue God in the sprete, and reioyce in Chryst Iesu, and haue no confydence in the flesshe: ⁴ though I myght also reioyce in the flesshe. If eny other man thynketh that he hath wherof he might trust in the flesshe: I haue more: ⁵ beynge circumcysed the eyght daye, of the kynred of Israel, of the trybe of Beniamin an Ebrue borne of the Ebrues as concernynge the lawe, a Pharisaye: ⁶ as concernynge feruentnes, I persecuted the congregacyon, as touchynge the ryghtewesnes which is in the lawe, I was vnrebukable. ⁷ But the thynges that were vauntage vnto me, those I counted losse for Chrystes sake. ⁸ ye I thynke all thynges but losse for the excellencye of the knowledge of Chryst Iesu my Lorde. For whom I haue counted all thynge losse, and do iudge them but vyle, that I maye wynne Chryst, ⁹ and be founde in him not hauynge myne awne ryghtewesnes of the lawe: but that which is thorow the fayth of Chryst: euen the ryghtewesnes which commeth of God thorowe fayth: ¹⁰ that I maye knowe hym and the vertue of hys resurrecyon, and the fellowshyppe of hys passyons, whyle I am conformable vnto hys (deeth) ¹¹ yf by eny meanes I myght attayne vnto the resurreccyon of the deed. ¹² Not that I haue attayned vnto it all ready, or that I am all ready perfecte: but I folowe, yf that I maye comprehende that, wherin I am comprehended of Chryst Iesu. ¹³ Brethren, I counte not my selfe that I haue gotten it as yet, but this one thynge I saye: I forget those thinges which are behinde, & endeuoure my selfe vnto those thinges which are before, ¹⁴ and (accordinge to the marke apoynted) I preace to the rewarde of the hye callynge of God thorowe Chryst Iesu. ¹⁵ Let vs therfore as many as be perfect, be thus wyse mynded, and yf ye be other wyse mynded, God shall open the same also vnto you. ¹⁶ Neuerthelesse vnto that which we haue attayned vnto, lett vs proceade by one rule, that we maye be of one accorde. ¹⁷ Brethren, be folowers together of me, and loke on them which walke euen so, as ye haue vs for an ensample. ¹⁸ For many walke (of whom I haue tolde you often and nowe tell you wepynge) that they are the enemies of the crosse of Christ, ¹⁹ whose ende is damnacion, whose God is theyr belly and glory to theyr shame, which are worldely mynded. ²⁰ But oure conuersacyon is in heauen, from whence we loke for the saueoure, euen the Lorde Iesus Chryst, ²¹ which shall chaunge oure vyle bodie, that he maye make it lyke vnto hys glorious body, accordynge to the workynge, wherby he is able also to subdue all thynges vnto him selfe. ⁴ ¹ Therfore my brethren (dearly beloued and longed for) my ioye and crowne, so continue in the Lorde ye beloued. ² I praye Euodias, and beseche Sintiches, that they be of one accorde in the Lord. ³ Yee and I beseche the faythfull yockefelowe, helpe the wemen which laboured with me in the Gospell, and with Clement also, and with other my laboure felowes whose names are in the boke of lyfe. ⁴ Reioyce in the Lord alwaye and agayne I saye reioyce. ⁵ Let youre softenes be knowen vnto all men: The Lorde is euen at hande. ⁶ Be carefull for nothynge: but in all prayer and supplicacyon let youre peticyons be manifeste vnto God with geuynge of thankes. ⁷ And the peace of God (which passeth all vnderstandynge) kepe youre hertes and myndes thorowe Christ Iesu. ⁸ Furthermore, brethren, whatsoeuer thinges are true, whatsoeuer thynges are honeste, whatsoeuer thinges are iust, whatsoeuer thynges are pure, whatsoeuer thynges are conuenient, whatsoeuer thinges are of honeste reporte: Yf ther be eny vertue, yf ther be eny prayse, ⁹ those same haue ye in youre mynde, which ye haue bothe learned & receaued, hearde also and sene in me those thinges do, and the God of peace shalbe with you. ¹⁰ I reioyce in the Lord greatly, that nowe at the last youre care is reuyued agayne for me in that wherin ye were also carefull, but ye lacked oportunite. ¹¹ I speake not because of necessite. For I haue learned in whatsoeuer estate I am, therwith to be content. ¹² I knowe howe to be lowe and I knowe howe to excede. Euery where and in all thinges I am instructed, both to be full and to be hongrye, both to haue plenty and to suffre nede. ¹³ I can do all thinges thorowe Christ which strengtheneth me. ¹⁴ Not withstandynge ye haue well done, that ye bare parte wt me in my tribulacion. ¹⁵ Ye of Philippos knowe also that in the begynnynge of the Gospell, when I departed from Macedonia, no congregacyon bare parte with me, as concernynge geuynge & receauinge, but ye onely. ¹⁶ For when I was in Thessalonica, ye sent once and afterward agayne vnto my necessite: ¹⁷ not that I desire gyftes: but I desyre aboundant frute on youre parte. ¹⁸ Neuertheles I receaued all, and haue plentie. I was euen fylled after that I receaued of Epaphroditus the thinges, which were sent from you, an odoure of a swete smell a sacrifyce accepted and pleasaunt to God. ¹⁹ My God shall supplye all youre nede thorow his gloryous riches by Iesu Christ. ²⁰ Unto God & oure father be prayse for euermore. Amen. ²¹ Salute all the saynctes in Christ Iesu. The brethren which are with me, greate you. ²² All the saynctes salute you, most of all they which are of the emperours housholde. ²³ The grace of oure Lord Iesu Christ be with you all. Amen.
