Chapter 1

1 Paul3972 and Timotheus,5095 the servants1401 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to all3956 the saints40 in Christ5547 Jesus2424 which3588 are at1722 Philippi,5375 with the bishops1985 and deacons:1249

2 Grace5485 be to you, and peace,1515 from God2316 our Father,3962 and from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

3 I thank2168 my God2316 on every3956 remembrance3417 of you,

4 Always3842 in every3956 prayer1162 of my3450 for you all3956 making4160 request1162 with joy,5479

5 For your5216 fellowship2842 in the gospel2098 from the first4413 day2250 until891 now;3568

6 Being confident3982 of this5124 very846 thing, that he which has begun1728 a good18 work2041 in you will perform2005 it until891 the day2250 of Jesus2424 Christ:5547

7 Even2531 as it is meet1342 for me to think5426 this5124 of you all,3956 because1223 I have2192 you in my heart;2588 inasmuch1909 3745 as both5037 in my bonds,1199 and in the defense627 and confirmation951 of the gospel,2098 you all3956 are partakers4791 of my grace.5485

8 For God2316 is my record,3144 how5613 greatly1971 I long1971 after1971 you all3956 in the bowels4698 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

9 And this5124 I pray,4336 that your5216 love26 may abound4052 yet2089 more3123 and more3123 in knowledge1922 and in all3956 judgment;144

10 That you may approve1381 things that are excellent;1308 that you may be sincere1506 and without677 offense677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ.5547

11 Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness,1343 which3588 are by Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the glory1391 and praise1868 of God.2316

12 But I would you should understand,1097 brothers,80 that the things which happened to me have fallen2064 out rather3123 to the furtherance4297 of the gospel;2098

13 So5620 that my bonds1199 in Christ5547 are manifest5318 in all3650 the palace,4232 and in all3956 other3062 places;

14 And many4119 of the brothers80 in the Lord,2962 waxing3982 confident3982 by my bonds,1199 are much4056 more4056 bold5111 to speak2980 the word3056 without870 fear.870

15 Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of envy5355 and strife;2054 and some5100 also2532 of good2107 will:2107

16 The one3303 preach2605 Christ5547 of contention,2052 not sincerely,55 supposing3633 to add2018 affliction2347 to my bonds:1199

17 But the other of love,26 knowing1492 that I am set2749 for the defense627 of the gospel.2098

18 What5101 then?1063 notwithstanding,4133 every3956 way,5158 whether1535 in pretense,4392 or1535 in truth,226 Christ5547 is preached;2605 and I therein1722 5129 do rejoice,5463 yes,235 and will rejoice.5463

19 For I know1492 that this5124 shall turn576 to my salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer,1162 and the supply2024 of the Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547

20 According2596 to my earnest603 expectation603 and my hope,1680 that in nothing3762 I shall be ashamed,153 but that with all3956 boldness,3954 as always,3842 so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in my body,4983 whether1535 it be by life,2222 or1535 by death.2288

21 For to me to live2198 is Christ,5547 and to die599 is gain.2771

22 But if1487 I live2198 in the flesh,4561 this5124 is the fruit2590 of my labor:2041 yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I know1107 not.

23 For I am in a strait4912 between1537 two,1417 having2192 a desire1939 to depart,360 and to be with Christ;5547 which is far4183 3123 better:2909

24 Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in the flesh4561 is more316 needful316 for you.

25 And having this5124 confidence,3982 I know1492 that I shall abide3306 and continue4839 with you all3956 for your5216 furtherance4297 and joy5479 of faith;4102

26 That your5216 rejoicing2745 may be more abundant4052 in Jesus2424 Christ5547 for me by my coming3952 to you again.3825

27 Only3440 let your conversation4176 be as it becomes516 the gospel2098 of Christ:5547 that whether1535 I come2064 and see1492 you, or1535 else be absent,548 I may hear191 of your5216 affairs,4012 that you stand4739 fast in one1520 spirit,4151 with one3391 mind5590 striving4866 together4866 for the faith4102 of the gospel;2098

28 And in nothing3367 terrified4426 by your3588 adversaries:480 which3748 is to them an evident1732 token1732 of perdition,684 but to you of salvation,4991 and that of God.2316

29 For to you it is given5483 in the behalf5228 of Christ,5547 not only3440 to believe4100 on1519 him, but also2532 to suffer3958 for his sake;

30 Having2192 the same846 conflict73 which3634 you saw1492 in me, and now3568 hear191 to be in me.

Philippians

Chapter 1

1 PAUL and Ti-mo'the-us, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Jesus Christ who are at Philippi, together with the elders and deacons:

2 Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from our LORD Jesus Christ.

3 I give thanks to my God for your steady remembrance of me.

4 In all my prayers for you, I make supplication with joy,

5 For your fellowship in the gospel, from the very first day until now,

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work among you, the same will continue it until the day of our LORD Jesus Christ:

7 And this is the right way for me to think of you all, because I have you in my heart, because through all my imprisonment and my defense and confirmation of the truth of the gospel, you have been partakers with me of grace.

8 For God is my witness of how much I love you through the love of Jesus Christ.

9 And for this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all spiritual understanding:

10 So that you may choose the things that are excellent; and that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ;

11 And be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and the praise of God.

12 Now I would have you know this, my brethren, that my work has been greatly furthered by the gospel;

13 And the reasons for my imprisonments have been made manifest by Christ to all Cµsar's court, and to all men.

14 And many of the brethren in our LORD have grown confident by my imprisonment and, with increasing boldness, speak the word of God without fear.

15 While some of them preach only because of envy and strife; others preach Christ in good will and love:

16 For they know that I am appointed for the defence of the gospel:

17 But those who preach Christ out of contention, do it not sincerely, but do it expecting to increase the hardship of my imprisonment.

18 And I have rejoiced and still do rejoice in this: that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached.

19 For I know that through your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, all these things will ultimately turn out for my salvation,

20 Just as it is my earnest hope and expectation that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but that openly as always, so also now will Christ be magnified through my body, whether in life or death.

21 For Christ is my life, and to die is gain.

22 Even if, in this life of the flesh, my labors bear fruits, I do not know what to choose.

23 For I am drawn between two desires, the one to depart, that I may be with Christ, which is far better:

24 Nevertheless, for me to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

25 And this I surely know, that I shall be spared and remain for your joy and for the furtherance of your faith;

26 So that when I come again to you, your rejoicing in Jesus Christ will abound through me.

27 Only conduct yourselves as becomes the gospel of Christ: so that whether I come and see you, or whether I am far away, I may hear of your good conduct, that you are standing firm in one spirit, and in one soul, and triumphing together through the faith of the gospel;

28 And that in nothing are you terrified by our adversaries, whose conduct is the sign of their own destruction, but your salvation, and this is from God.

29 For it has been given to you, not only to believe in Christ, but also to suffer for his sake.

30 And that you may endure such trials as those which you have seen me in, and such as you now hear that I am in.

9 And for this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all spiritual understanding:

10 That you may approve1381 things that are excellent;1308 that you may be sincere1506 and without677 offense677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ.5547

10 So that you may choose the things that are excellent; and that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ;

11 Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness,1343 which3588 are by Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to the glory1391 and praise1868 of God.2316

11 And be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and the praise of God.

12 But I would you should understand,1097 brothers,80 that the things which happened to me have fallen2064 out rather3123 to the furtherance4297 of the gospel;2098

12 Now I would have you know this, my brethren, that my work has been greatly furthered by the gospel;

13 So5620 that my bonds1199 in Christ5547 are manifest5318 in all3650 the palace,4232 and in all3956 other3062 places;

14 And many of the brethren in our LORD have grown confident by my imprisonment and, with increasing boldness, speak the word of God without fear.

15 Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of envy5355 and strife;2054 and some5100 also2532 of good2107 will:2107

18 What5101 then?1063 notwithstanding,4133 every3956 way,5158 whether1535 in pretense,4392 or1535 in truth,226 Christ5547 is preached;2605 and I therein1722 5129 do rejoice,5463 yes,235 and will rejoice.5463

18 And I have rejoiced and still do rejoice in this: that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached.

19 For I know1492 that this5124 shall turn576 to my salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer,1162 and the supply2024 of the Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547

19 For I know that through your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, all these things will ultimately turn out for my salvation,

20 According2596 to my earnest603 expectation603 and my hope,1680 that in nothing3762 I shall be ashamed,153 but that with all3956 boldness,3954 as always,3842 so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in my body,4983 whether1535 it be by life,2222 or1535 by death.2288

20 Just as it is my earnest hope and expectation that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but that openly as always, so also now will Christ be magnified through my body, whether in life or death.

21 For to me to live2198 is Christ,5547 and to die599 is gain.2771

21 For Christ is my life, and to die is gain.

22 But if1487 I live2198 in the flesh,4561 this5124 is the fruit2590 of my labor:2041 yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I know1107 not.

22 Even if, in this life of the flesh, my labors bear fruits, I do not know what to choose.

23 For I am in a strait4912 between1537 two,1417 having2192 a desire1939 to depart,360 and to be with Christ;5547 which is far4183 3123 better:2909

23 For I am drawn between two desires, the one to depart, that I may be with Christ, which is far better:

24 Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in the flesh4561 is more316 needful316 for you.

24 Nevertheless, for me to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

25 And having this5124 confidence,3982 I know1492 that I shall abide3306 and continue4839 with you all3956 for your5216 furtherance4297 and joy5479 of faith;4102
