Philippians 1
Written from prison, and it is the happiest letter he wrote. He tells them the chains have actually advanced the gospel, that the whole palace guard now knows why he is there, and that some people are preaching Christ out of spite to make his imprisonment harder, and he does not mind, because Christ is preached either way. For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain, and he honestly cannot decide which he would rather.

Philippians 2
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.

Philippians 3
He lists his credentials in full, circumcised the eighth day, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Pharisee, blameless as touching the law, and then says he counts all of it as refuse.

Philippians 4
Two women are named and asked to be of the same mind, which is the only time he does that in a letter. Rejoice, be careful for nothing, and the peace of God which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts. Think on whatever is true, honest, just, pure, lovely. Then the thank you note that is the actual reason for the letter, and the line he has earned the right to write: I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
