Philippians 1

1 Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons:

Paul and Timothy servants of Christ Jesus To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi with [the] overseers and deacons:

2 Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.

Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,

I thank the God of mine upon every the remembrance of you

4 (Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)

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

5 Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.

for the partnership of you in the gospel from (the *no*) first day until now;

6 And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ,

having been persuaded of [the] very thing this, that the [One] having begun in you a work good will complete [it] until [the] day of Christ Jesus;

7 As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace.

Even as it is right for me myself this to feel about all of you since having I in the heart you, in both the chains of mine and in the defense and in confirmation of the gospel fellow partakers with me of grace all you are.

8 For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.

Witness for of mine (is *k*) God how I long after all you in [the] affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,

And this I pray, that the love of you yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment

10 That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,

for to approve you the [things] being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ

11 Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.

filled (with [the] fruit *N(K)O*) of righteousness (that [is] *N(k)O*) through Jesus Christ to [the] glory and praise of God.

12 I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,

To know now you I want, brothers, that the [things] concerning me myself really to [the] advancement of the gospel have turned out,

13 So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,

so as for the chains of mine clearly known in Christ to have become in all the palace guard and to the rest all

14 In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word.

and most of the brothers in [the] Lord already trusting by the chains of mine more abundantly to dare fearlessly the word (of the God *O*) to speak.

15 Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will.

Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming.

16 The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes.

the [ones] indeed out of love knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;

17 But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell.

the [ones] however out of selfish ambition Christ are proclaiming not purely supposing tribulation (to add *N(k)O*) to the chains of mine.

18 What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye.

What then? Only (that *no*) in every way whether in pretext or in truth Christ is proclaimed, And in this I rejoice Yes and I will rejoice.

19 For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ,

I know for that this for me will turn out to deliverance through your prayer and [the] provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ

20 As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.

according to the earnest expectation and hope of mine that in no [thing] I will be ashamed but in all boldness as always also now will be magnified Christ in the body of mine, whether through life or through death.

21 For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage.

To me myself for to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.

22 And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not.

If [I am] however to live in flesh, this for me [is the] fruit of labor; And what will I choose Not I know!

23 For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all.

I am pressed (now *N(k)O*) between the two, the desire having for [myself] to depart and with Christ to be, very much (for *no*) more better;

24 Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you.

but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary for the sake of you.

25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith,

And this having been persuaded of I know that I will remain and (will continue *N(k)O*) with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith,

26 That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe.

so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me myself through my coming again to you.

27 Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel.

Only worthily of the gospel of Christ do conduct yourselves, so that whether having come and having seen you or being absent (I shall hear *N(k)O*) the [things] concerning you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,

28 And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God.

and not being frightened in nothing by those opposing [you]; which is to them (indeed *k*) a demonstration of destruction, (to you *N(k)O*) however of salvation, and this from God;

29 For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake,

For to you it has been granted concerning Christ, not only in Him to believe, but also concerning Him to suffer

30 Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me.

the same conflict having such as (you saw *N(k)O*) in me myself and now you hear of in me myself.
