| | Bible Book No. 50 - Phillipians |
 | | About 10 years after establishing the congregation, Paul wrote the letter of Phillipians, which is now preserved as the 50th Book of the Bible. |
 | | He counsels them to ‘behave in a manner worthy of the good news.’ He reminds them of the mental attitude of Christ - how he, although the son of God, took the form of a man and humbled himself before men on the earth. |
 | | The generosity of the Phillipians in materially aiding Paul and his fellow missionaries is well commented on in Paul’s letter, as is the unity of the brothers when under trial. |
