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

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

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

I thank my God whenever I remember you,

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

always in every prayer of mine for all of you, making my requests with joy,

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

for your partnership in the Good News from the first day until now;

6 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;

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

7 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.

It is even right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

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

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

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

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

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

so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be pure and blameless for the Day of Christ;

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

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

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

Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

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

so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

14 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.

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

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

Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

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

The latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

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

The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains.

18 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.

What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether out of false motives or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

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

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance, through your petition and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 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.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

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

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

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

But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I do not make known what I will choose.

23 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;

But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

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

Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

25 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,

And since I am persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

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

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

27 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,

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

28 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;

and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

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

Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

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

having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
