# Connecting Statement:
Paul encourages the Philippian believers and shows them how to live the Christian life before others and reminds them of his example.
# my beloved
"my dear fellow believers"
# in my presence

# in my absence
"when I am not there with you"
# work out your own salvation
To "work out" one's salvation means to work in a way that is appropriate to one's salvation or to work in a way that shows one's salvation. The abstract noun "salvation" can be expressed with a phrase about God saving people. Alternate translation: "work in a way that is appropriate because you have been saved" or "work hard to do the good things that show that God has saved you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns]])
# salvation with fear and trembling
Paul uses the words "fear" and "trembling" together to show the attitude of reverence that people should have for God. Alternate translation: "salvation, trembling with fear" or "salvation with deep reverence" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-doublet]])
