Philippians 1
1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and servants:
Paul and Timotheus, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with [the] overseers and ministers;
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
grace to you, and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I give thanks to my God on all the remembrance of you,
I thank my God for my whole remembrance of you,
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
constantly in my every supplication, making the supplication for you all with joy,
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day until now,
because of your fellowship with the gospel, from the first day until now;
6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you, will complete [it] until [the] day of Jesus Christ,
having confidence of this very thing, that he who has begun in you a good work will complete it unto Jesus Christ's day:
7 according 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 [in] the defense and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
as 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.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all with [the] yearnings of Jesus Christ,
For God is my witness how I long after you all in [the] bowels of Christ Jesus.
9 and this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge, and all discernment,
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all intelligence,
10 for your proving the things that differ, that you may be pure and offenseless—to [the] Day of Christ,
that 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,
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
being complete as regards the fruit of righteousness, which [is] by Jesus Christ, to God's glory and praise.
12 And I intend you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me, rather have come to an advancement of the good news,
But I would have you know, brethren, that the circumstances in which I am have turned out rather to the furtherance of the glad tidings,
13 so that my bonds have become evident in Christ in the whole Praetorium, and to all the other places,
so that my bonds have become manifest [as being] in Christ in all the praetorium and to all others;
14 and the greater part of the brothers in the LORD, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold to fearlessly speak the word.
and that the most of the brethren, trusting in [the] Lord through my bonds, dare more abundantly to speak the word of God fearlessly.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through goodwill, preach the Christ;
Some indeed also for envy and strife, but some also for good will, preach the Christ.
16 one, indeed, of rivalry proclaims the Christ, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
These indeed out of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the glad tidings;
17 and the other out of love, having known that I am set for defense of the good news:
but those out of contention, announce the Christ, not purely, supposing to arouse tribulation for my bonds.
18 what then? In every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed—and I rejoice in this, indeed, and will rejoice.
What 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;
19 For I have known that this will turn out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
for I know that this shall turn out for me to salvation, through your supplication and [the] supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be ashamed in nothing, and in all freedom, as always, also Christ will now be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
according 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.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
For for me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain;
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what will I choose? I do not know;
but if to live in flesh [is my lot], this is for me worth the while: and what I shall choose I cannot tell.
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
But I am pressed by both, having the desire for departure and being with Christ, [for] [it is] very much better,
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
but remaining in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sakes;
25 and being persuaded of this, I have known that I will remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
and having confidence of this, I know that I shall remain and abide along with you all, for your progress and joy in faith;
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus through me by my presence again with you.
27 Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Christ, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
Only 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;
28 and not be terrified in anything by those opposing, which is indeed a token of destruction to them, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God;
29 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him;
because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also,
30 having the same conflict, such as you saw in me, and now hear of in me.
having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.
