Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

4 always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 on account of your fellowship in the cause of the gospel from the first day until now;
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began in you a good work, will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus;
Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of Jesus Christ:
7 even as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being sharers of the grace bestowed on me.
Even 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.
8 For God is my witness how much I long for you all in the tender affection of Christ Jesus.
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment;

10 so that ye may approve the things that are most excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence against the day of Christ,

11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12 But I wish you to know, brethren, that things with me have resulted in the furtherance of the gospel;
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13 so that my bonds have become known in connection with Christ in the whole camp of the imperial guards, and to all the rest;
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places];
14 and that the great part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will.
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 but they who are of a factious spirit preach Christ with no pure intent, thinking to stir up affliction to my bonds.
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 They who are of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? Notwithstanding, in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached; and therein do I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.

19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
According 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.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.
22 But if to live in the flesh, if this is to me the fruit of my labor, then what I should choose, I cannot say;
But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23 but I am held in a strait by the two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; for it is far better;
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 but to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.
25 And being persuaded of this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your advancement and joy in your faith,
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26 that your glorying in me, in the cause of Christ Jesus, may be more abundant by my coming to you again.
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27 Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or remain absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel,
Only 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;
28 and in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation; and that from God;
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 for to you it was given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but in his behalf to suffer also;
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30 as ye have the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.
