The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians
The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians is a letter to the Christian community in Philippi, a Roman colony in Macedonia. Written during Paul's imprisonment, likely in Rome around AD 62 as he anticipated his release, the epistle is characterized by joy, gratitude, and encouragement. It also contains “The Christ Poem” in chapter 2, suggesting early Christians understood Jesus to be a celestial being who chose to take on human form, as opposed to being a human who was elevated to divine status after his death.
Paul expresses gratitude for the Philippians’ support and partnership in preaching the gospel, with Paul encouraging believers to find joy in Christ regardless of their circumstances. The famous bible verse Philippians 4.13 encapsulates this spirit: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
Paul encourages unity among believers, urging them to imitate the humility of Christ. The letter also addresses practical Christian living, with Paul advising on virtues like humility, contentment, and the pursuit of righteousness.
