< Philippians 1 >
1 Paul and Timothy servants of Christ Jesus To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi with [the] overseers and deacons:
PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus the Messiah, to all the saints that are in Jesus the Messiah at Philippi, with the elders and deacons.
2 Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
3 I thank the God of mine upon every the remembrance of you
I thank my God at the constant recollection of you,
4 always in every supplication of mine for all of you with joy the supplication making
in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore;
5 for the partnership of you in the gospel from (the *no*) first day until now;
on account of your fellowship in the gospel, 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;
Because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun the good works in you, will accomplish them until the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
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.
For thus it is right for me to think of you all, because ye are permanently in my heart, and because, both in my bonds and in the vindication of the truth of the gospel, ye are my associates in 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 love you in the bowels of Jesus the Messiah.
9 And this I pray, that the love of you yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment
And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and In all spiritual understanding:
10 for to approve you the [things] being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ
so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah,
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.
and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus the Messiah, to the praise and glory 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,
And I would that ye might know, my brethren, that the transaction in regard to me, hath eventuated rather for the furtherance of the gospel;
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 my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others.
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 many of the brethren in our Lord have become confident, on account of my bonds, and are more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming.
And they herald it, some from envy and contention; but others with good will, and with love for the Messiah;
16 the [ones] indeed out of love knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;
because they know that I am appointed for the vindication of the gospel.
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.
And they who herald the Messiah in contention, do it not sincerely; but they hope to add pressure to my bonds.
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.
And in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every form, whether in pretence or in truth, the Messiah is heralded.
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 these things will be found conducive to my life, through your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Jesus the Messiah.
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.
So that I hope and expect, that I shall in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah 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 my life is, the Messiah; and if I die, it is gain to me.
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 have fruits of my labors in this life of the flesh, I know not what I shall 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;
For the two press upon me: I desire to be liberated, that I may be with the Messiah; and this would be very advantageous to me.
24 but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary for the sake of you.
But also the business in regard to you, urges upon me to remain in the body.
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 this I confidently know, that I shall continue and remain, for your joy, and for the furtherance of your faith;
26 so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me myself through my coming again to you.
so that when I come again to you, your glorying, which is in Jesus the Messiah only, will abound through me.
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,
Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel.
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 be ye startled, by those who rise up against us; which is an indication of their destruction, and of life for you.
29 For to you it has been granted concerning Christ, not only in Him to believe, but also concerning Him to suffer
And this is given to you by God, that ye not only really believe in the Messiah, but also that ye suffer on his account;
30 the same conflict having such as (you saw *N(k)O*) in me myself and now you hear of in me myself.
and that ye endure conflict, as ye have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.
