Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus
Christ ;
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who
are
at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together
with the overseers and deacons:
Grace to
you,
and peace from God ,
our Father ,
and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace and peace to
you
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I thank my God whenever
I remember you ,
I thank my God every
time
I remember you .
always
in every request
of
mine
on
behalf
of you all
making
my
requests
with joy,
In every prayer
for
all
of you ,
I
always
pray
with joy,
for
your partnership in furtherance
of
the Gospel from the first day until now ;
because
of
your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now ,
being confident of this very
thing
, that he who began a good work in you will complete
it until the day of Jesus
Christ.
being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry
it on
to
completion
until the day of Christ Jesus
.
It is even
right for me to think
this way on
behalf
of
all of you, because
I have you in my heart ,
because,
both
in my bonds
and in the
defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all
are partakers
with me of
grace
.
It is right for me to feel
this way about
all of you, since
I have you in my heart .
For
in my chains
and in my
defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all
partners
in
grace
with me.
For
God is my witness ,
how I long after
all of you in
the tender
mercies
of Christ Jesus.
God is my witness how I long for
all of you with
the affection
of Christ Jesus.
This I
pray,
that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and all
discernment;
And
this is
my
prayer:
that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth
of
insight,
so that you may approve
the
things
that
are
excellent;
that
you
may be sincere
and without
offense
to
the day of Christ ;
so that you may be
able
to
test
and
prove
what
is
best
and
may be pure
and blameless
for
the day of Christ ,
being
filled with the fruits
of righteousness ,
which
are
through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
filled with the fruit
of righteousness that
comes
through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Now I desire
to
have
you know, brothers, that the
things
which
happened
to
me
have turned
out
rather
to the
progress
of
the Gospel ;
Now I want
you to
know, brothers, that my
circumstances
have actually
served
to advance
the gospel .
so
that
it became
evident
to
the whole praetorian
guard ,
and to all
the
rest,
that my
bonds
are
in Christ ;
As
a
result,
it has
become
clear
throughout
the whole palace
guard and to everyone
else
that I
am
in chains
for
Christ .
and that
most of the brothers in the Lord ,
being
confident
through
my bonds
, are
more abundantly
bold
to speak the word of
God
without fear.
And most of the brothers ,
confident
in the Lord by
my chains
, now
dare
more greatly
to speak the word without fear.
Some indeed
preach Christ even
out of envy and strife
, and
some
also
out of good
will
.
It
is
true
that
some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry
, but
others
out of goodwill
.
The former
insincerly
preach
Christ
from
selfish
ambition
, thinking
that they
add
affliction
to
my
chains;
The latter
do
so
in
love
, knowing
that I
am
appointed
for
the
defense
of
the
gospel.
but
the latter
out of love
, knowing
that I
am
appointed
for
the defense
of the
Gospel
.
The former,
however,
preach
Christ
out of selfish
ambition
, not
sincerely,
supposing
that they
can
add
to
the distress
of my
chains
.
What does
it
matter
? Only
that in every way, whether in
pretense
or in
truth
, Christ is proclaimed
. I
rejoice
in this ,
yes, and will rejoice .
What then
is
the
issue
? Just
this:
that in every way, whether by
false
motives
or true
, Christ is preached
. And
in this I
rejoice.
Yes, and I
will continue
to
rejoice ,
For
I know that this
will
turn
out
to
my
salvation,
through your supplication
and the supply
of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
because
I know that through your prayers
and the provision
of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my
distress
will
turn
out
for
my
deliverance.
according
to
my
earnest
expectation
and hope ,
that I will in no way be disappointed
, but with
all
boldness ,
as always ,
now
also
Christ will be magnified
in my body, whether by life ,
or by death.
I
eagerly
expect
and hope that I will in no way be ashamed
, but will
have
complete
boldness so
that
now
as always Christ will be exalted
in my body, whether by life or by death.
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
For to me ,
to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
But if I live
on in the flesh
, this will bring
fruit
from
my
work;
yet
I
don't
make
known
what I will
choose.
But if I go
on living
in the body
, this will mean
fruitful
labor
for
me.
So
what shall
I choose ?
I
do
not
know
.
But
I am in
a
dilemma
between the two ,
having
the
desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
I am torn
between the two .
I
desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed
.
Yet,
to
remain
in
the
flesh
is more needful
for your
sake
.
But
it
is more necessary
for you
that
I
remain
in
the
body
.
Having
this confidence
, I know that I will remain ,
yes,
and remain
with you
all ,
for your progress and joy in the faith,
Convinced
of
this, I know that I will remain and will
continue
with all of
you
for your progress and joy in the faith,
that your rejoicing
may
abound
in Christ Jesus in
me through
my
presence
with
you
again
.
so
that through
my
coming
to
you
again
your exultation
in Christ Jesus will
resound
on
account
of
me.
Only
let
your
manner of
life
be
worthy of the Gospel of Christ ,
that
, whether I come and see you or am
absent,
I
may
hear of
your
state
, that you stand firm in one spirit, with
one
soul
striving
for the faith of the Gospel ;
Nevertheless,
conduct
yourselves
in
a
manner worthy of the gospel of Christ .
Then
, whether I come and see you or only
hear about
you
in
my
absence
, I
will
know
that you stand firm in one spirit, contending
side
by
side
for the faith of the gospel ,
and
in
nothing
frightened by the
adversaries,
which
is for
them
a proof
of destruction ,
but to
you
of salvation, and that
from God.
without
being
frightened in
any
way
by those
who
oppose
you.
This
is a clear
sign
of their
destruction but of your
salvation, and it
is
from God.
Because
it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ ,
not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on
his
behalf
,
For
it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for
Him
,
having
the same conflict
which
you saw in
me
, and now hear is
in
me
.
since
you
are
encountering
the same struggle
you saw I
had
, and now hear that
I
still
have
.
