   GenevaSteve to All   
   (Geneva Bible 1599 Update) Philippians   
   27 May 05 00:09:56   
   
   From: GenevaSteve@nospam.com   
      
   I am pleased to announce that Philippians from the 1599 Geneva Bible   
   has been Proofread and uploaded to the GenevaBible.org website, (   
   http://www.genevabible.org/Geneva.html )  (both the Footnotes version   
   and the Non-footnotes version have been uploaded.)   
      
   Here is the Argument for Philippians:   
      
      
   The Argument   
      
   Paul being warned by the holy Ghost to go to Macedonia, planted first   
   a Church at Philippi a city of the same country; but because his   
   charge was to preach the Gospel universally to all the Gentiles, he   
   travailed from place to place, till at the length he was taken   
   prisoner at Rome, whereof the Philippians, being advertised, sent   
   their minister Epaphroditus with relief unto him; who declaring him   
   the state of the Church, caused him to write this Epistle, wherein he   
   commendeth them that they stood manfully against the false apostles,   
   putting them in mind of his good will toward them, and exhorteth them   
   that his imprisonment make them not to shrink; for the Gospel thereby   
   was confirmed and not diminished; especially he desireth them to flee   
   ambition, and to embrace modesty, promising to send Timothy unto them,   
   who should instruct them in matters more amply; yea, and that he   
   himself would also come unto them, adding likewise the cause of their   
   ministers so long abode. And because there were no greater enemies to   
   the cross than the false apostles, he confuteth their false doctrine,   
   by proving only Christ to be the end of all true religion, with whom   
   we have all things, and without whom we have nothing, so that his   
   death is our life, and his resurrection our justification. After this   
   follow certain admonitions both particular and general, with   
   justification of his affection towards them, and thankful accepting of   
   their benevolence.   
      
      
   Italics have been included as the original 1599 Geneva Bible had them,   
   italics were used to show which words the translators added that   
   wasn't in the original Holy Writ (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Syrian   
   texts) they added these words to help the reader to understand what   
   they were reading. The   
   1611 KJV also followed the use of italics.   
      
   For the footnotes version the Scripture cross-references have been   
   included as was the way it was in the original 1599 Geneva Bible.   
      
   The website to download from is:   
   http://www.genevabible.org/Geneva.html to download the files find the   
   link you want to download and right click on it and choose Save As.

   any files, please download the latest free software at:

   When I come across the many diagrams found in the 1599 Geneva Bible I   
   will be placing those images in the footnotes version only.   
      
   If you have been at a loss at the history of the Breeches/Geneva Bible   
   because of bias from some KJV Onlyists, here is the Historical   
   Knowledge you need to know:
