1Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;

1Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ: to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

1Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

2grace to you, and peace fromGod our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

2Grace be unto you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

2Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3I thank myGod for my whole remembrance of you,

3I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you:

3I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

4constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,

4Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy:

4Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

5because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;

5For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now.

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

6having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:

6Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.

6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7as it is righteous for me to think this as to you all, because ye have me in your hearts, and that both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the glad tidings ye are all participators in my grace.

7As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.

7Even 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.

8ForGod is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.

8For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,

9And this I pray: That your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding:

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

10that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

10That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ:

10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

11being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, toGod's glory and praise.

11Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,

12Now, brethren, I desire you should know that the things which have happened to me have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:

12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;

13so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;

13So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court and in all other places.

13So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;

14and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word ofGod fearlessly.

14And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.

15Some indeed, even out of envy and contention: but some also for good will preach Christ.

15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;

16Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.

17And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.

17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18What is it then? at any rate, in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, yea, also I will rejoice;

18But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

19For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always, now also Christ shall be magnified in my body whether by life or by death.

20According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded: but with all confidence, as always, so now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

20According 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.

21For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;

21For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain.

21For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.

22And if to live in the flesh: this is to me the fruit of labour. And what I shall choose I know not.

22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

23But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,

23But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

24but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;

24But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you.

24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

25and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.

26That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

26That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings;

27Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.

27Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

28and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that fromGod;

28And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God.

28And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.

29because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,

29For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him:

29For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

30having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.

30Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me and now have heard of me.

30Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
