Philippians 1-4: In Chains for Christ

Paul's letter to the church is Philippi was written while he was in prison, 'In chains for Christ.'  It is not a letter of complaining, instead it is a letter of celebration and anticipation that contains some the more memorable scripture verses associated with Paul.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. - Phil. 1:21 NIV

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus
Who, being in very nature God,
   did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing,
   taking the very nature of a servant,
   being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
   he humbled himself
   and became obedient to death—
      even death on a cross!  - Phil. 2:5-8

Do everything without complaining or arguing, 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. - Phil. 2:14-15 KJV

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings - Phil. 3:10 KJV

But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. - Phil. 3:13-14 NIV

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  - Phil: 4:6-7 NIV

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Phil 4:8 KJV

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.- Phil. 4:12-13 NIV

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.  - Phil. 4:19 KJV

Toward the end of his earthly life, the apostle Paul, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the dire circumstances he found himself in, knew he could really trust the one who had called him to follow...that he could do all things and all of his needs would be provided for through Christ Jesus.
