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.

1 Paul3972 and2532 Timothy,5095 the servants1401 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547 to all3956 the3588 saints40 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 which are5607 at1722 Philippi,5375 with4862 the bishops1985 and2532 deacons: 1249

2 Grace5485 be unto you,5213 and2532 peace,1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father,3962 and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

3 I thank2168 my3450 God2316 upon1909 every3956 remembrance3417 of you,5216

4 Always3842 in1722 every3956 prayer1162 of mine3450 for5228 you5216 all3956 making4160 request1162 with3326 joy,5479

5 For1909 your5216 fellowship2842 in1519 the3588 gospel2098 from575 the first4413 day2250 until891 now;3568

6 Being confident3982 of this very thing,5124 848 that3754 he which hath begun1728 a good18 work2041 in1722 you5213 will perform2005 it until891 the day2250 of Jesus2424 Christ: 5547

7 Even as2531 it is2076 meet1342 for me1698 to think5426 this5124 of5228 you5216 all,3956 because I3165 have2192 you5209 in1722 my heart;2588 inasmuch as both5037 in1722 my3450 bonds,1199 and2532 in the3588 defense627 and2532 confirmation951 of the3588 gospel,2098 ye5209 all3956 are5607 partakers4791 of my3450 grace.5485

8 For1063 God2316 is2076 my3450 record,3144 how5613 greatly I long after1971 you5209 all3956 in1722 the bowels4698 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

9 And2532 this5124 I pray,4336 that2443 your5216 love26 may abound4052 yet2089 more3123 and2532 more3123 in1722 knowledge1922 and2532 in all3956 judgment;144

10 That ye5209 may approve1381 things that are excellent;1308 that2443 ye may be5600 sincere1506 and2532 without offense677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ;5547

11 Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness,1343 which3588 are by1223 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 unto1519 the glory1391 and2532 praise1868 of God.2316

12 But1161 I would1014 ye5209 should understand,1097 brethren,80 that3754 the things3588 which happened unto2596 me1691 have fallen out2064 rather3123 unto1519 the furtherance4297 of the3588 gospel;2098

13 So that5620 my3450 bonds1199 in1722 Christ5547 are1096 manifest5318 in1722 all3650 the3588 palace,4232 and2532 in all3956 other3062 places;

14 And2532 many4119 of the3588 brethren80 in1722 the Lord,2962 waxing confident3982 by my3450 bonds,1199 are much more bold5111 4056 to speak2980 the3588 word3056 without fear.870

15 Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of1223 envy5355 and2532 strife;2054 and1161 some5100 also2532 of1223 good will: 2107

16 The one3588 3303 preach2605 Christ5547 of1537 contention,2052 not3756 sincerely,55 supposing3633 to add2018 affliction2347 to my3450 bonds: 1199

17 But1161 the other3588 of1537 love,26 knowing1492 that3754 I am set2749 for1519 the defense627 of the3588 gospel.2098

18 What5101 then?1063 notwithstanding,4133 every3956 way,5158 whether1535 in pretense,4392 or1535 in truth,225 Christ5547 is preached;2605 and2532 I therein1722 5129 do rejoice,5463 yea,235 and2532 will rejoice.5463

19 For1063 I know1492 that3754 this5124 shall turn576 to1519 my3427 salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer,1162 and2532 the supply2024 of the3588 Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547

20 According2596 to my3450 earnest expectation603 and2532 my hope,1680 that3754 in1722 nothing3762 I shall be ashamed,153 but235 that with1722 all3956 boldness,3954 as5613 always,3842 so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in1722 my3450 body,4983 whether1535 it be by1223 life,2222 or1535 by1223 death.2288

21 For1063 to me1698 to live2198 is Christ,5547 and2532 to die599 is gain.2771

22 But1161 if1487 I live2198 in1722 the flesh,4561 this5124 is the fruit2590 of my3427 labor:2041 yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I wot1107 not.3756

23 For1063 I am in a strait4912 between1537 two,1417 having2192 a desire1939 to depart,360 and2532 to be1511 with4862 Christ;5547 which is far4183 3123 better: 2909

24 Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in1722 the3588 flesh4561 is more needful316 for1223 you.5209

25 And2532 having this confidence,3982 5124 I know1492 that3754 I shall abide3306 and2532 continue with4839 you5213 all3956 for1519 your5216 furtherance4297 and2532 joy5479 of faith;4102

26 That2443 your5216 rejoicing2745 may be more abundant4052 in1722 Jesus2424 Christ5547 for1722 me1698 by1223 my1699 coming3952 to4314 you5209 again.3825

27 Only3440 let your conversation be4176 as it becometh516 the3588 gospel2098 of Christ:5547 that2443 whether1535 I come2064 and2532 see1492 you,5209 or else1535 be absent,548 I may hear191 of your affairs,5216 4012 that3754 ye stand fast4739 in1722 one1520 spirit,4151 with one3391 mind5590 striving together4866 for the3588 faith4102 of the3588 gospel;2098

28 And2532 in1722 nothing3367 terrified4426 3361 by5259 your adversaries:480 which3748 is2076 to them846 an3303 evident token1732 of perdition,684 but1161 to you5213 of salvation,4991 and2532 that5124 of575 God.2316

29 For3754 unto you5213 it is given5483 in the behalf5228 of Christ,5547 not3756 only3440 to believe4100 on1519 him,846 but235 also2532 to suffer3958 for his sake;5228 846

30 Having2192 the3588 same846 conflict73 which3634 ye saw1492 in1722 me,1698 and2532 now3568 hear191 to be in1722 me.1698

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

2 Grace5485 be unto you,5213 and2532 peace,1515 from575 God2316 our2257 Father,3962 and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ.5547

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

3 I thank2168 my3450 God2316 upon1909 every3956 remembrance3417 of you,5216

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

4 Always3842 in1722 every3956 prayer1162 of mine3450 for5228 you5216 all3956 making4160 request1162 with3326 joy,5479

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

5 For1909 your5216 fellowship2842 in1519 the3588 gospel2098 from575 the first4413 day2250 until891 now;3568

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:

6 Being confident3982 of this very thing,5124 848 that3754 he which hath begun1728 a good18 work2041 in1722 you5213 will perform2005 it until891 the day2250 of Jesus2424 Christ: 5547

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.

7 Even as2531 it is2076 meet1342 for me1698 to think5426 this5124 of5228 you5216 all,3956 because I3165 have2192 you5209 in1722 my heart;2588 inasmuch as both5037 in1722 my3450 bonds,1199 and2532 in the3588 defense627 and2532 confirmation951 of the3588 gospel,2098 ye5209 all3956 are5607 partakers4791 of my3450 grace.5485

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

8 For1063 God2316 is2076 my3450 record,3144 how5613 greatly I long after1971 you5209 all3956 in1722 the bowels4698 of Jesus2424 Christ.5547

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

9 And2532 this5124 I pray,4336 that2443 your5216 love26 may abound4052 yet2089 more3123 and2532 more3123 in1722 knowledge1922 and2532 in all3956 judgment;144

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;

10 That ye5209 may approve1381 things that are excellent;1308 that2443 ye may be5600 sincere1506 and2532 without offense677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ;5547

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

11 Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness,1343 which3588 are by1223 Jesus2424 Christ,5547 unto1519 the glory1391 and2532 praise1868 of God.2316

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

12 But1161 I would1014 ye5209 should understand,1097 brethren,80 that3754 the things3588 which happened unto2596 me1691 have fallen out2064 rather3123 unto1519 the furtherance4297 of the3588 gospel;2098

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

13 So that5620 my3450 bonds1199 in1722 Christ5547 are1096 manifest5318 in1722 all3650 the3588 palace,4232 and2532 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.

14 And2532 many4119 of the3588 brethren80 in1722 the Lord,2962 waxing confident3982 by my3450 bonds,1199 are much more bold5111 4056 to speak2980 the3588 word3056 without fear.870

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

15 Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of1223 envy5355 and2532 strife;2054 and1161 some5100 also2532 of1223 good will: 2107

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

16 The one3588 3303 preach2605 Christ5547 of1537 contention,2052 not3756 sincerely,55 supposing3633 to add2018 affliction2347 to my3450 bonds: 1199

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

17 But1161 the other3588 of1537 love,26 knowing1492 that3754 I am set2749 for1519 the defense627 of the3588 gospel.2098

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

18 What5101 then?1063 notwithstanding,4133 every3956 way,5158 whether1535 in pretense,4392 or1535 in truth,225 Christ5547 is preached;2605 and2532 I therein1722 5129 do rejoice,5463 yea,235 and2532 will rejoice.5463

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,

19 For1063 I know1492 that3754 this5124 shall turn576 to1519 my3427 salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer,1162 and2532 the supply2024 of the3588 Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ,5547

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.

20 According2596 to my3450 earnest expectation603 and2532 my hope,1680 that3754 in1722 nothing3762 I shall be ashamed,153 but235 that with1722 all3956 boldness,3954 as5613 always,3842 so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in1722 my3450 body,4983 whether1535 it be by1223 life,2222 or1535 by1223 death.2288

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

21 For1063 to me1698 to live2198 is Christ,5547 and2532 to die599 is gain.2771

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

22 But1161 if1487 I live2198 in1722 the flesh,4561 this5124 is the fruit2590 of my3427 labor:2041 yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I wot1107 not.3756

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

23 For1063 I am in a strait4912 between1537 two,1417 having2192 a desire1939 to depart,360 and2532 to be1511 with4862 Christ;5547 which is far4183 3123 better: 2909

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

24 Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in1722 the3588 flesh4561 is more needful316 for1223 you.5209

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

25 And2532 having this confidence,3982 5124 I know1492 that3754 I shall abide3306 and2532 continue with4839 you5213 all3956 for1519 your5216 furtherance4297 and2532 joy5479 of faith;4102

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

26 That2443 your5216 rejoicing2745 may be more abundant4052 in1722 Jesus2424 Christ5547 for1722 me1698 by1223 my1699 coming3952 to4314 you5209 again.3825

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;

27 Only3440 let your conversation be4176 as it becometh516 the3588 gospel2098 of Christ:5547 that2443 whether1535 I come2064 and2532 see1492 you,5209 or else1535 be absent,548 I may hear191 of your affairs,5216 4012 that3754 ye stand fast4739 in1722 one1520 spirit,4151 with one3391 mind5590 striving together4866 for the3588 faith4102 of the3588 gospel;2098

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.

28 And2532 in1722 nothing3367 terrified4426 3361 by5259 your adversaries:480 which3748 is2076 to them846 an3303 evident token1732 of perdition,684 but1161 to you5213 of salvation,4991 and2532 that5124 of575 God.2316

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

29 For3754 unto you5213 it is given5483 in the behalf5228 of Christ,5547 not3756 only3440 to believe4100 on1519 him,846 but235 also2532 to suffer3958 for his sake;5228 846

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.

30 Having2192 the3588 same846 conflict73 which3634 ye saw1492 in1722 me,1698 and2532 now3568 hear191 to be in1722 me.1698
