 Background

The letter is thought to be written in the first century around AD 62 or 63  to the church at Philippi, one of the earliest churches thought to be founded in the 1st century Rome. The letter shows that the Philippian congregation was very attached to St.Paul,  just as he was very fond of them.  The church of Philipi has has sent their monetary contributions many times to St. Paul (which St.Paul gratefully acknowledges and are accepted in love).
