Philippians 1

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 Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;

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

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

3I thank myGod for my whole remembrance of you,

3I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,

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

4always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

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

5for your contribution to the good news from the first day till 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:

6having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform <FI>it<Fi> till a 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.

7according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and <FI>in<Fi> the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of 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 for 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 love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and 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,

10for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless--to a day of Christ,

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

11being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that <FI>is<Fi> through Jesus Christ, to 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,

12And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

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

13so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places--all,

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

14and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold--fearlessly to speak the word.

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

15Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;

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

16the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, 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 the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

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;

18what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed--and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall 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 have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

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 earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

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

21for to me to live <FI>is<Fi> Christ, and to die 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 <FI>is<Fi> to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;

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

23for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,

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

24and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,

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 of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

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

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

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 worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

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

28and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;

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

29because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;

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

30the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
