Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians

Episode 1: A letter between friends

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:22:21 -0700

What we know as the “book” of Philippians is actually a letter, as most of the books of the New Testament are. But is letter-writing becoming a lost art in today’s world of electronic communication? To understand Philippians, we need to read is as a letter—and in this first episode, we begin by thinking about its author, the apostle Paul.

Episode 2: In it together

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:23:40 -0700

How did Paul and his companions first meet the people of Philippi? How did they plant a church there? Let’s review the story from Acts 16 as a background sketch to introduce Paul’s main concerns in the letter. Why does he put such a premium on the togetherness of the church?

Episode 3: Grateful for the gift

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:24:28 -0700

One of the reasons for Paul’s letter is to say thank you for a generous gift of support. Strangely, however, he waits until the end of the letter to say it, and even then his words may not sound properly ungrateful. We’ll have to wait until the end of the study to fully understand why. But right from the beginning, we can know this: what Paul is truly grateful for is their loyalty and friendship.

Episode 4: Purposefully unconventional

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:25:32 -0700

Personal letters in Paul’s day tended to follow certain conventions, and the letters of the New Testament are no exception. Paul himself adopts such customs and then adapts them to his pastoral purposes. The opening greeting in Philippians (1:1-2) is one of Paul’s most complicated; it’s not only what he says, but what he doesn’t say that matters.

Episode 5: The holy ones

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:26:24 -0700

In his opening greeting, Paul call his friends in Philippi “saints” or “holy ones” (1:1). We know that God is holy, but may have experienced God’s people as anything but. So what does it mean to call someone a “saint”?

Episode 6: A divine preposition

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:27:17 -0700

To Paul, the Philippians are God’s “holy people” in city of Philippi. But they are not holy in themselves; they are holy “in Christ Jesus” (1:1). Throughout his letters, Paul repeatedly says that we are “in Christ,” and conversely, Christ is in us. That’s a lot for one little preposition to do. What does he mean?

Episode 7: Beyond hello

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:28:13 -0700

Every culture has its ways of saying “hello” and “goodbye.” Letters and emails may also begin with typical greetings like, “Hi, how are you?” or “I hope you’re doing well.” The same was true of letters written in Paul’s day. But Paul doesn’t just use the cultural conventions of his day, he transforms them, so that even the opening greeting is filled with spiritual significance.

Episode 8: The people in our lives

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:29:09 -0700

One of the purposes of Paul’s letter was to thank the Philippians for their generous gift. But as we’ve seen, he doesn’t do this directly, at least not right away. What he does do, however, is important: he lets them know that they themselves are the gift he treasures.

Episode 9: Partners in the gospel

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:30:05 -0700

Why was Paul so grateful for the Philippians? In part, of course, it’s because of all the support they’ve given him over the years, including the recent gift they sent to help him during his Roman imprisonment. But Paul is a big-picture person. He’s thankful not only for the gift and for their friendship, but for the fact that they are such faithful and reliable partners in the work of the gospel.

Episode 10: A work in progress

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:30:53 -0700

Paul sees the Philippians as his partners in the gospel, whether that’s because of their tangible support of his work or because of their own evangelistic efforts. This is a sign that God is actively at work in them, and Paul wants them to know that God will finish the work he’s already started. Like the Philippians, we are all works in progress.

Episode 11: Sincere and blameless

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:31:28 -0700

Paul prays regularly for the Philippians, and he tells them so. But he doesn’t just tell them that he prays, he tells them what he prays, in order to help them broaden their understanding. Instead of merely praying for what God can do for them, Paul prays for what God will do in them. How could this be reflected in the way we pray for those we love, or even for ourselves?

Episode 12: What really matters

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:32:11 -0700

The Philippians loved Paul. They were naturally concerned about his well-being in captivity, and Paul knew that they would be waiting for news. But he doesn’t just tell them not to worry. He tells them what’s most important to him, and what he hopes is important to them: that his captivity has resulted in the progress of the gospel!

Episode 13: Can good come from bad?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:32:47 -0700

In his letter, Paul reports both good news and bad news. The good news is that his being under house arrest led to more opportunities for the gospel. The bad news, unfortunately, was that led some of the Christians who were already in Rome resented his being there. But even this meant more good news: even if it was for the wrong reasons, they started preaching the gospel even more.

Episode 14: Beginning at the end

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:33:48 -0700

To some, Paul’s situation might have seemed hopeless. To him, however, it was anything but. He expected to eventually be released from Roman custody (and history suggests that he was right). But he wants the Philippians to know that even if that didn’t happen, what mattered was that God would be glorified whether he lived or died. His is an example of true Christian hope.

Episode 15: Life after death

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:34:48 -0700

What happens to us after we die? The Bible is short on details. Paul believed that if he died, he would go to be with Jesus. But what was even more important was how he lived: “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” (1:21). Life after death is life with Jesus; but life before death should be too.

Episode 16: No matter what

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:35:27 -0700

Paul was torn. On the one hand, dying meant being with Jesus; but living, on the other hand, meant more ministry and more time with the Philippians. Surely the Philippians would have preferred the latter! But again, Paul emphasizes what’s important: no matter what happened to him, the Philippians were to keep living in a way that honored the gospel.

Episode 17: The politics of faith

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:36:12 -0700

As we’ve seen, Paul instructed the Philippians to “live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel” (1:27). But the word translated is “live your life” is one he only uses once in all his letters. It’s the root from which we get the English word “politics.” By saying it that way, Paul is addressing the tension between being citizens of Rome and citizens of God’s kingdom.

Episode 18: Church politics

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:36:47 -0700

Anyone who’s been privy to the inner workings of a congregation has probably experienced church politics: the ways power and influence are used, sometimes badly. As we’ve seen, Paul uses a related word to speak of how the Philippians should live. But why? Part of it has to do with the pressure coming from the outside. But part of it is the pressure coming from the inside, and Paul needs to highlight the importance of their unity from the start.

Episode 19: The privilege of suffering

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:37:14 -0700

The Philippians, as we’ve seen, may have been suffering persecution from their unbelieving neighbors. Paul himself, obviously, has been suffering for the sake of the gospel; that’s why they’ve sent him a gift of support. But Paul wants them to have the right perspective: it’s a privilege to suffer for Christ, and they’re doing it together with Paul.

Episode 20: It’s a sign!

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:37:54 -0700

Before we finish chapter 1, we need to circle back to an odd little sentence that I skipped over: “This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God” (vs. 28b). There are different ways to understand what Paul is saying, but the point seems to be this: when Christians suffer for the gospel, will their persecutors see any evidence that the gospel is true?

Episode 21: If

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:38:30 -0700

Chapter 2 begins with a long, complicated sentence that uses the word “if” four times. In English, the word often expresses uncertainty. Read that way, it can sound like Paul lacks confidence in the Philippians and their ability to maintain their unity. But given what we know of his relationship to them, it’s probably better to read it as “since,” as in, “Since these things are true, do this.”

Episode 22: Which way does your compass point?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:39:11 -0700

By using the word “if” or “since” four times, Paul reminds the Philippians of who they already are. And on that basis, he pleads with them to be of the same “mind.” That means more than merely having the same opinion. Paul is suggesting that they need to have their moral compasses pointed in the same direction.

Episode 23: Ambition and glory

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:39:46 -0700

Paul is concerned about the internal unity of the Philippian church, and wants that unity to be embodied in their having a shared moral compass. But what does that look like? Positively, Paul will say that their compasses should point toward the humility of Jesus. But he begins negatively: their compasses should point away from selfish ambition.

Episode 24: The Lake Wobegon effect

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:40:23 -0700

In pointing the Philippians toward humility, Paul tells them to “Think of others as better than yourselves” (2:3). For people who already struggle with low self-esteem, that may not sound like happy advice. But research suggests that people have a persistent tendency to think of themselves as superior to others. Can we learn to humbly consider the thoughts and needs of others, even when we disagree?

Episode 25: How would Jesus think?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:40:55 -0700

In counseling the Philippians toward humility, Paul wasn’t telling them to deny their own needs. But they needed to be reminded (especially in situations of conflict!) to take the needs of others into account and take them just as seriously. Toward that end, he doesn’t just tell them to do what Jesus would do; he tries to teach them how Jesus would think.

Episode 26: Tragedy, comedy, fairy tale

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:41:31 -0700

We love stories. We live stories. And for the Philippians, Paul holds up the story of Jesus so they can point their moral compasses toward his humility. As novelist Frederick Buechner once observed, we can see in the gospel story the elements of tragedy, comedy, and fairy tale. What might we learn from seeing the story that way?

Episode 27: Heavenly humility

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:41:57 -0700

Paul wants the Philippians to adopt a humble mindset toward one another, so uses the story of Jesus as an example of sacrificial service—the kind of service that required him to die a humiliating death on the cross. But Jesus was not merely human; he was equal to God. Can we think of God as humble?

Episode 28: What’s in a name?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:42:40 -0700

If the story of Jesus had ended with the crucifixion, it would have been a tragic tale. But in the resurrection, the downward movement of humility is reversed; Jesus is not only raised to life but exalted, and “given the name that is above every name” (2:9). But to the Philippians, the name above every name would have been that of the emperor, who alone was to be called “Lord.” What does Paul mean?

Episode 29: Working out

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:43:09 -0700

Paul is the apostle of grace; he teaches that salvation is a freely given, unearned gift of God. But then he tells the Philippians that they should “work out [their] salvation with fear and trembling” (2:12). On the surface, that doesn’t sound like grace. Is he really saying that the Philippians should work to earn their salvation, in fear that they might not do enough to satisfy God?

Episode 30: With fear and trembling

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:43:49 -0700

The gospel emphasizes the love of God in Christ; we don’t typically think of our relationship to God in terms of fear. But the “fear of God” is an important theme in the Old Testament, and Paul suggests that the Philippians should also live with fear and trembling. Biblically, the “fear” of God is much more than just “respect” or “reverence.” But are we supposed to be afraid of God?

Episode 31: Don’t grumble

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:44:23 -0700

When angry, some people will explode and argue, while others may simmer and seethe with resentment. We don’t know if these were actually happening in the church in Philippi. But given what he’s said about living in a humble way that reflects the truth of the gospel, Paul sees fit to warn them against grumbling and arguing.

Episode 32: Past, present, and future

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:45:06 -0700

Paul, who trained as a Pharisee, knows his Scripture, and it shows in the words and images he uses with the Philippians. In his letter, we can hear references to the stories of Genesis and Deuteronomy, as well as the prophecies of Daniel and Jeremiah. Even if the Philippians know nothing of the Hebrew Scriptures, Paul wants to stoke their imaginations in such a way that they can being seeing themselves are part of the ongoing story they tell.

Episode 33: Rejoicing together

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:54:04 -0700

The Philippians have been concerned about Paul, and part of the purpose of the letter is to reassure them that he is well. Indeed, he expects to be released from captivity so he can see them again. But there are no guarantees. No matter what happens, he wants the Philippians to have the right attitude: he wants them to rejoice in the way that he himself rejoices despite his circumstances.

Episode 34: Guess who’s coming to dinner?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:54:37 -0700

Timothy was one of Paul’s companions on the missionary trip that first brought him to Macedonia. The Philippians, presumably, already know him well, and Paul tells them that they will see Timothy again soon. But it’s a little unusual for him to include what sound like travel plans in the middle of a letter. Why does Paul do this?

Episode 35: Like father, like son

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:55:28 -0700

Paul is sending his letter to the Philippians with Epaphroditus. Soon after, Timothy will visit them too, bringing the latest news from the apostle. Paul loves Timothy like a son, but it’s not because he’s the one who led Timothy to Jesus. It’s because Timothy is a lot like Paul in important ways—and most importantly, in his devotion to the work of the gospel.

Episode 36: Ordinary apostles

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:56:02 -0700

Before Timothy arrives in Philippi, Epaphroditus will have already returned with Paul’s letter. Paul seems to love Epaphroditus as much as he loves Timothy, and for similar reasons: he’s a servant of the gospel. Compared to heroic stories of missionary work, though, Epaphroditus’ service was rather mundane—delivering a gift. Nevertheless, Paul is willing to give him the label of “apostle.”

Episode 37: Beware of the dogs

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:56:28 -0700

To the Jews of Paul’s day, Gentiles were “dogs”—a horrible insult. But when Paul, at the beginning of chapter 3, tells the Philippians to “Beware of those dogs” (3:2), he’s referring to fellow Jews. Not only that, he was probably referring to Jewish Christians. So how could Paul say such a thing? What had they done to deserve such a tongue-lashing?

Episode 38: The thin end of the wedge

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:57:00 -0700

Christians share some central beliefs, but do not all believe exactly the same thing, not even with the same church. Some of these differences are on the level of “agree to disagree.” But some are much more important to the integrity of the gospel. The Jewish converts that Paul called “dogs”—scholars call them “Judaizers”—were suggesting a compromise that would undermine the very message of grace. Paul was not about to allow such beliefs to take hold in Philippi.

Episode 39: Bragging rights…or not?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:57:24 -0700

As suggested in an earlier episode, we can’t seem to help comparing ourselves to others. Often, we see ourselves as better and look for subtle or not-so-subtle ways to brag. Those who would undermine the gospel might think themselves religiously superior in some way. Paul has strongly advocated for humility; how could he argue against such people? Ironically, he does so by playing the bragging game and turning it on its head.

Episode 40: Flip the script

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:57:57 -0700

Paul has to counter the argument of the Judaizers, and does so in two moves. First, he plays the bragging game, and shows that he has more religious cred than they do. But then second, he insists that none of that matters anymore. Compared to the privilege of personally knowing the Jesus he used to persecute, all of the things in which he used to take pride are garbage to him now.

Episode 41: Something to consider

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:58:24 -0700

In an earlier episode, I suggested that the following Jesus isn’t just a matter of asking “What would Jesus do?” but “How would Jesus think?” Paul has taken a good portion of his letter trying to teach the Philippians to have the humble mindset of Jesus. And using himself as an example, he tells them that his own values and priorities have changed dramatically since meeting Jesus. Can we have the same mindset when we’re in conflict with someone else?

Episode 42: The cross-shaped life

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:58:52 -0700

We see it in Scripture and hear it from the pulpit: the Christian life involves sacrifice and suffering. Jesus tells us that we must take up our cross, and Paul says that he not only wants to know Jesus, but to “become like him in his death” (3:10). Paul doesn’t have a literal death wish—but how should we understand what that means for us?

Episode 43: Resurrection power

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 13:59:26 -0700

As we’ve seen, Paul knows that even if he were to be executed by Rome, physical death would not be the end of his story—he would go to be with Jesus. And he teaches elsewhere that resurrection is the ultimate destiny of every believer. But the resurrection isn’t just a future reality; resurrection power is available now to help the faithful endure suffering.

Episode 44: Pressing on

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:00:04 -0700

Life can get so busy that our minds are completely occupied by the things that need to be done today, this week. We may barely think about the future, especially the distant future. But again, Paul thinks eschatologically, and wants the Philippians (and us!) to do the same. His own way of thinking about his life and ministry is to view it as a race, in which he does everything he can to press toward the finish line.

Episode 45: The story we live

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:00:27 -0700

Good stories don’t just meander; they go somewhere. Through an ongoing plot, they link the past and present to an anticipated future. So too with our own stories, and with Paul’s. He’s already told the Philippians what he thinks of his past, and how he presses on toward the future—and encourages them to think the same way about their own lives.

Episode 46: Leading by example

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:00:59 -0700

Many of us have been thrust into situations for which we felt poorly prepared, and secretly wished for someone to show us what to do, to mentor us. Paul is just that kind of mentor to the Philippians, giving them a living example of the Christian life. And he’s not shy about it: he explicitly tells them to follow his example, or that of others who live the same way.

Episode 47: Don’t admire the wrong people

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:01:20 -0700

It is a gift to have people who model for us a faithful Christian life. But these days, we have a tendency to admire so-called “celebrity Christians” whose success often ends on a tragic note. Paul warns about something similar in his letter. We should look for and imitate good examples, but we should be wise and thoughtful about who we admire and why.

Episode 48: Dual citizenship

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:01:50 -0700

The Philippians were citizens of the Roman Empire, and as such were expected to be loyal to the emperor. Their allegiance to Christ was therefore problematic and put them at odds with their neighbors. certain behaviors and loyalties were expected of them. But Paul continues to try to get them to think eschatologically, teaching them that they are citizens of heaven and not just Rome.

Episode 49: P.S. I love you

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:02:22 -0700

As we begin the fourth and final chapter of the letter, we can see Paul beginning to wrap things up. He calls the Philippians his brothers and sisters, and expresses his love and longing for them. But even this is done with an eschatological perspective, as he encourages them to continue persevering toward the glorious future he envisions.

Episode 50: Squabbling sisters

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:03:04 -0700

Paul has called the Philippians his brothers and sisters. But as in any family, siblings fight. It is here in chapter 4 that Paul finally brings up the conflict between the two women, Euodia and Syntyche, and pleads with them to reconcile.

Episode 51: A wise pastor

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:03:27 -0700

Given the concern Paul may have had about the conflict between Euodia and Syntyche and how it threatened the unity of the church, it may be surprising that he only devotes two verses to dealing with it directly. But there’s a great deal of pastoral wisdom embedded in those two verses. This episode sketches four practical implications of his words for dealing with conflict in the church.

Episode 52: What is joy?

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:03:59 -0700

To many of us, the word “joy” probably means something like extreme happiness and is incompatible with sadness. But that’s not what Paul means by the word when he tells the Philippians to rejoice. Nor does he mean that Christians are supposed to act happy no matter what they’re feeling. He wants the Philippians to cultivate joy by reminding themselves and each other that God is near, even in the face of suffering.

Episode 53: Don’t worry!

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:04:43 -0700

If you’re anxious about something, you don’t want someone to tell you to “cheer up.” Nor do you want them to just say, “Don’t worry.” When we read Philippians 4, it can sound like Paul is saying exactly that. But what he wants is to help the Philippians cope with their anxiety by going to God in prayer and remembering the reasons they have to be grateful.

Episode 54: Guarded by peace

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:05:12 -0700

Knowing the situation the Philippians are in, Paul instructs them to cultivate joy by gratefully remembering what God has done for them in Jesus, and taking all of their concerns to God in prayer. But with that command comes a promise. Echoing the rich biblical concept of shalom, Paul promises that God’s peace will guard their hearts and minds in Jesus.

Episode 55: Changing how we think

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:05:38 -0700

Research suggests that our brains easily skew toward negativity. One can imagine the Philippians being anxious about the possibility of persecution, and finding it difficult to cope. Paul has already told them to pray with joy and gratitude. But he also suggests that they can change the way they think, by intentionally choosing what they think about.

Episode 56: Showing how it’s done

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:06:11 -0700

In chapter 3, Paul told the Philippians to follow his example. In chapter 4, he tells them that they should focus their thoughts on things that remind them of God’s goodness and sovereignty. And Paul himself is an example of thinking that way—as demonstrated in the way he handles the tension between Euodia and Syntyche.

Episode 57: Putting wisdom into practice

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:06:37 -0700

Anxiety can drive anyone into a negative spiral of thoughts and emotions, and Paul offers his friends in Philippi some wise pastoral counsel. We can learn from his counsel, too. This episode explores four personal implications for how we deal with our own troubles.

Episode 58: It’s the thought that counts

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:07:14 -0700

What did your parents teach you about the polite way to acknowledge a gift? And what if it was something you didn’t really want or need? Here, near the end of Paul’s letter, the apostle finally gets around to saying “Thank you” for the gift the Philippians sent, and at first, his words may sound ungrateful…

Episode 59: Real contentment

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:07:53 -0700

Seen from the outside, Paul is in an awkward spot. The Philippians have sent a generous gift, and he appreciates their thoughtfulness and love. At the same time, however, he doesn’t really need the gift in the way they might have expected. How does he say this? As always, he turns the situation into a teaching opportunity.

Episode 60: I can do all things

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:08:25 -0700

Philippians 4:13 is one of Paul’s best-known sayings, often rendered as "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" on Christian keepsakes. Taken out of context, it might sound like Paul is saying that God will him the power to do anything. But is that what he means?

Episode 61: A friend in need is a friend indeed

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:08:50 -0700

The last words of a letter are important, especially in a context where letters to churches were read aloud. What thoughts would Paul want to leave ringing in the Philippians’ ears? The final theme is friendship, and Paul expresses deep appreciation for their loyal support over the years.

Episode 62: It’s to your credit

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:09:21 -0700

Though Paul wants the Philippians to hear his gratitude, he also wants to make sure they hear it rightly. “It’s not about the gift itself,” he tells them, again, in a way that might sound a bit rude. But he points them instead to the deeper reason for his gratitude.

Episode 63: Paid in full

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:09:47 -0700

Friendships in the ancient world carried reciprocal expectations. Paul has already used the language of the marketplace to speak of the Philippians’ gift as being “credited” to their account, and now he says that he’s “received full payment” (4:18). But it’s not that Paul thinks they owe him. He wants them to think of their friendship differently, as a three-way relationship that includes God.

Episode 64: You are not alone

Cameron Lee — Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:10:18 -0700

Letters often ended with words of greeting: “Say hi to so-and-so” or “So-and-so says hi.” And in some ways, this is true of Paul’s letter to the Philippians. But Paul uses even this simple convention for a pastoral purpose: he wants the Philippians to know that God is at work, and that they are not alone.
