- Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
- Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
- I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
- Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
- For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
|
- Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,
- always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,
- in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.
|
- Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
- Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
- For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
- And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
- That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.
|
- For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
- For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.
- For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.
- And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,
- so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;
|
- Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
- But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
- So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
- And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
- Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
|
- having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
- Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,
- so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,
- and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.
- Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;
|
- The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
- But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
- What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
- For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
- According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
|
- the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
- the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.
- What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
- for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
- according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
|
- For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
- But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
- For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
- Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
- And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
|
- For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
- But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.
- But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;
- yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
- Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
|
- That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
|
- so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.
