Philippians Highlights

• Paul tells the Philippians to be good "till the day of Christ." So he must have expected Jesus to return within their lifetimes. 1:10

• Everyone will have to worship Jesus -- whether they want to or not. 2:10-11

• "Beware of dogs ... beware of the concision." I'm not sure who Paul is calling "dogs" here, but it's probably the Jews -- those of "the circumcision," as opposed to Christians, who are of the "true circumcision." 3:2

• "The Lord is at hand." Paul thought that the end was near and that Jesus would return soon after he wrote these words. 4:5

• "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." 4:8

• Believe whatever Paul tells you to believe, think whatever he tells you to think, and do whatever he tells you to do. 4:9
