The Epistle of Paul to the Philippians.

 

1.3  He estifieth his thankefulnesse to God, and his loue toward them, for the fruits of their faith and fellowship, in his sufferings,

1.9  dayly praying to him for their increase in grace:

1.12  Hee sheweth what good the faith of Christ had receiued by his troubles at Rome,

1.21  and how ready he is to glorifie Christ either by his life or death,

1.27  exhorting them to vnitie,

1.28  and to fortitufe in persecution.

 

He exhorteth them to vnitie, and to all humblenesse of minde, by the example of Christs humilitie and exaltation;

2.12  To a carefull proceeding in the way of saluation, that they bee as lights in the wicked world,

2.16  and comforts to him their Apistle, who is now ready to bee offered vp to God.

2.19  He hopeth to send Timothie to them, whom hee greatly commendeth,

2.25  as Epaphroditus also, whom he presently sendeth to them.

 

3.1  Hee warneth them to beware of the false teachers of the Circumcision,

3.4  shewing that himself hath greater cause then they, to trust in the righteousnesse of the Law:

3.7  which notwithstanding hee counteth as doung and losse, to gaine Christ and his righteousnesse,

3.12  therein acknowledging  his owne imperfection.

3.15  Hee exhorteth them to be thus minded,

3.17  and to imitate him,

3.18  and to decline the waies of carnall Christians.

 

4.1  From particular admonitions

4.4  hee proceedeth to generall exhortations,

4.10  shewing how hee reioyced at their liberalitie towardshim lying in prison, not so much for the supply of his owne wants, as for the grace of God in them.

4.19  And so he concludeth with prayer and salutations.
