1 Od Pavla i Timotija, slugu Isusa Hrista, svima svetima u Hristu Isusu koji su u Filibi, s vladikama i đakonima: 2 Blagodat vam i mir od Boga Oca našeg i Gospoda Isusa Hrista. 3 Zahvaljujem Bogu svom kad se god opomenem vas, 4 svagda u svakoj molitvi svojoj za sve vas s radošću moleći se, 5 što vi postadoste zajedničari u jevanđelju, od prvog dana i do danas; 6 uzdajući se u ovo isto da će Onaj koji je počeo dobro delo u vama dovršiti ga tja do dana Isusa Hrista. 7 Kao što je pravo da ja ovo mislim za sve vas, jer vas imam u srcu u okovima svojim i u odgovoru i potvrđivanju jevanđelja, kao sve zajedničare sa mnom u blagodati. 8 Jer Bog mi je svedok da vas ljubim ljubavlju Isusa Hrista, 9 i zato se molim Bogu da ljubav vaša još više i više izobiluje u razumu i svakoj volji, 10 da kušate šta je bolje, da budete čisti i bez spoticanja na dan Hristov, 11 napunjeni plodova pravde kroz Isusa Hrista, na slavu i hvalu Božiju. 12 Hoću, pak, da znate, braćo, da ovo što se radi sa mnom iziđe za napredak jevanđelja, 13 tako da se razglasi u svoj sudnici i kod svih ostalih da su moji okovi za Hrista. 14 I mnoga braća u Gospodu oslobodivši se okovima mojim većma smeju govoriti reč Božiju bez straha. 15 Istina, jedni iz zavisti i svađe, a jedni od dobre volje Hrista propovedaju. 16 Tako ovi, uprkos, Hrista objavljuju nečisto, misleći da će naneti žalost mojim okovima; 17 a ovi iz ljubavi, znajući da za odbranu jevanđelja ležim u tamnici. 18 Šta dakle? Bilo kako mu drago, dvoličenjem ili istinom, Hristos se propoveda. I zato se radujem, a i radovaću se; 19 jer znam da će mi se ovo zbiti na spasenje vašom molitvom i pomoću Duha Isusa Hrista. 20 Kao što čekam i nadam se da se ni u čemu neću postideti, nego da će se i sad kao svagda sa svakom slobodom Hristos veličati u telu mom, bilo životom ili smrću. 21 Jer je meni život Hristos, a smrt dobitak. 22 A kad mi življenje u telu plod donosi, to ne znam šta ću izabrati. 23 A oboje mi je milo, imajući želju otići i s Hristom biti, koje bi mnogo bolje bilo; 24 ali ostati u telu potrebnije je vas radi. 25 I ovo znam jamačno da ću biti i ostati kod svih vas na vaš napredak i radost vere, 26 da hvala vaša mnome izobiluje u Hristu Isusu kad vam opet dođem. 27 Samo živite kao što se pristoji jevanđelju Hristovom, da vas vidim kad dođem ili ako vam ne dođem da čujem za vas da stojite u jednom duhu i jednodušno borite se za veru jevanđelja, 28 i ni u čem da se ne plašite od protivnika; koje je njima znak pogibli a vama spasenja, i to od Boga; 29 jer se vama darova, Hrista radi, ne samo da Ga verujete nego i da stradate za Nj, 30 imajući onu istu borbu kakvu u meni videste i sad čujete za mene.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Here, as writing to those of equal honor, he does not set down his rank of Teacher, but another, and that a great one. And what is that? He calls himself a "servant," and not an Apostle.

But the apostle himself also, being one who had been formed in a womb, and had issued thence, wrote to us, and confessed in his Epistle to the Philippians that "to live in the flesh was the fruit of [his] work;" thus expressing himself.
The apostle "desires to depart, and to be with Christ." And, "My soul desired to long for Thy judgments;" or if it is more appropriate to say, "My soul longed to desire Thy judgments." And, "The desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom." Yet there has always obtained the usage of understanding desire and concupiscence in a bad sense if …

For no child, be he never so virtuous, is so desirable and lovely to a father, as the having our portion in those good things, and "to depart and be with Christ." No doubt hell, and that punishment, is a thing not to be borne.

He is called also the Spirit of Christ, as it is written, Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify; and again, Through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
