Phil 1:3-26
vs 3-11 Here you can see Paul is fond of the Philippians. He encourages them in their walk with Christ. He then prays for them. Their knowledge and insight will grow so they will be able to discern the will of God.
vs 12-14 He is writing to them from prison. But he is still encouraged because he gets to share Christ with every one in prison, and other people have stepped up to take his place to speak the Word of God.
vs 15-18 Christ needs to be preached.
vs 19-26 Paul has reached a point in his where his life he has given everything up to preach the gospel. It might mean his life but he is okay with it, because he knows he has lived the way God wanted him to. "To live is Christ and to die is gain."

Reading 35/61
Ephesians 5:1-20
vs 1-2 imitate God as children do there parents. If you follow what God does you will definitely be headed in the right direction. Love as Christ loved. He gave himself up for a sacrifice.vs 3-7 As God's chosen and holy people we need to live above reproach. We need to be pure and sexually moral. Live without greed. There should not be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking. Instead be thankful. None of this has a place in the kingdom of God.
