1Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;

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

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

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

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

3I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

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

3I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,

3 I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,

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

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

4always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,

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

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

5for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;

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:

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,

6being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

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.

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.

7even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf 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 with me of grace.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

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

11being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that <FI>is<Fi> through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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

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

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

12Now I would have you know, brethren, that the thingswhich happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;

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

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

13so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;

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

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

14and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

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

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

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

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

16the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,

16the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

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

17and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

17but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.

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

18What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, 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,

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

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.

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,

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

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

21for to me to live <FI>is<Fi> Christ, and to die gain.

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

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

22And if to live in the flesh <FI>is<Fi> to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;

22But if to live in the flesh,—if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.

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

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

23But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

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

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

24yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

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

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

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

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

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

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;

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,

27Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

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.

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;

28and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;

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

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

29because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

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

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

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