Philippians, << fuh LIHP ee uhnz, >> Epistle to the, is the 11th book of the New Testament. It is a letter from the apostle Paul to the Christians in Philippi in what is now northern Greece. Many scholars doubt that Paul wrote the letter in its present form. They believe it consists of three smaller letters from Paul to the Philippians that were combined by a later editor. If Paul wrote the letter in its present form, he did so while in prison, probably in Rome, about A.D. 60. In the Epistle, Paul thanks the Philippians for sending him money. He warns them not to observe the Jewish law and urges them to be at peace with one another.
