Ancient Philippi

Paul wrote to the Christians at Philippi while he was in prison. The book gives thanks that despite his imprisonment the gospel is being proclaimed (1) and asks that the Philippians look to the example of Christ, who emptied himself and took the form of a slave (2). The last half of the book both warns against seeking assurance in observance of the Torah and against laxity. Paul exhorts Christians to press on in
hope of the resurrection (3-4).
