The Grace [be] with all the ones who love our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruption. Amen. {NOTES: Please read the Preface and other non-bible sections. $ is our universal footnoting for words contained in the Definitions section.

Paul told them to be of the same mind, a commandment he told all the congregations and Christians in those letters. All Christians should strive to be the congregation which obeys the commands of Jesus and not the traditions of men and fulfill Jesus prayer for unity (John 17). He speaks about his bonds became apparent in Christ in the whole palace. You might say he had a captive audience in the whole palace and prison. You get to see a lot of Pauls human side, his emotions, and concern for all the congregations and his desire to make sure someone is sent to them in his place. Paul rebukes the mutilation, i.e., the Jewish Christian false teachers in chapter 3. Some of the best advice that could be given to a Christian is found in 3:13, forgetting one thing, that is the things which are behind me and stretching forth to the things which are before me. He ends with the usual greeting and encouragements.}} [Philippians 1]
