Phl 1:6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Phl 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Phl 1:23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

Phl 1:27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel

Phl 2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

Phl 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:

Phl 2:9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

Phl 2:10-11 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Phl 2:13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

Phl 2:15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe

Phl 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

Phl 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Phl 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Phl 3:21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Phl 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Phl 4:5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

Phl 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Phl 4:8-9 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me–put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Phl 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Phl 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
