- Philippians in Greek (ancientlibrary.net)
Joy runs through Philippians, a letter of the Greek New Testament written by the apostle Paul from prison in the first century AD to the church at Philippi in Macedonia, among the first congregations he founded in Europe. In affectionate Koine Greek he thanks the Philippians for their partnership in the gospel and urges them to have among themselves the mind of Christ.
- Epistle to the Philippians (Wikipedia)
The Epistle to the Philippians is a Pauline epistle of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and Timothy is named with him as co-author or co-sender. The letter is addressed to the Christian church in Philippi. Paul, Timothy, Silas (and perhaps Luke) first visited Philippi in Greece (Macedonia) during Paul’s second missionary journey from Antioch, which occurred between approximately 49 and 51 AD. In the account of his visit in the Acts of the Apostles, Paul and Silas are accused of “disturbing the city”.
