To all Christ’s people at Philippi, with the supervisors and assistants, from Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus.
2 grace you and peace away from God father me and lord: God Jesus Christ
May God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you, and give you peace.
3 to thank the/this/who God me upon/to/against all the/this/who remembrance you
Every recollection that I have of you is a cause of thanksgiving to God,
4 always in/on/among all petition me above/for all you with/after joy the/this/who petition to do/make: do
always, in every prayer that I offer for you all – my prayers are full of joy –
5 upon/to/against the/this/who participation you toward the/this/who gospel away from (the/this/who *no*) first day until the/this/who now
because of the share that you have had in spreading the good news, from the first day that you received it until now.
6 to persuade it/s/he this/he/she/it that/since: that the/this/who to begin in/on/among you work good to complete until day Christ Jesus
For of this I am confident, that he who began a good work in you will complete it in readiness for the day of Jesus Christ.
7 as/just as to be just I/we this/he/she/it to reason above/for all you through/because of the/this/who to have/be me in/on/among the/this/who heart you in/on/among and/both the/this/who chain me and in/on/among the/this/who defence and confirmation the/this/who gospel sharer me the/this/who grace all you to be
And, indeed, I am justified in feeling like this about you all; because you have a warm place in my heart – you who all, both in my imprisonment and in the work of defending and establishing the good news, shared my privilege with me.
8 witness for me (to be *k*) the/this/who God as/when to long for all you in/on/among affection/entrails Christ Jesus
God will bear me witness how I yearn for you all with the tenderness of Christ Jesus.
9 and this/he/she/it to pray in order that/to the/this/who love you still more and more to exceed in/on/among knowledge and all insight
And what I pray for is this – that your love may grow yet stronger and stronger, with increasing knowledge and all discernment,
10 toward the/this/who to test you the/this/who to spread/surpass in order that/to to be pure and not giving offence toward day Christ
until you are able to appreciate all moral distinctions. And I pray, too, that you may be kept pure and blameless against the day of Christ,
11 to fulfill (fruit *N(K)O*) righteousness (the/this/who *N(k)O*) through/because of Jesus Christ toward glory and praise God
bearing a rich harvest of that righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 to know then you to plan brother that/since: that the/this/who according to I/we more: rather toward progress the/this/who gospel to come/go
Friends, I want you to realise that what has happened to me has actually served to forward the good news.
13 so the/this/who chain me clear in/on/among Christ to be in/on/among all the/this/who praetorium and the/this/who remaining all
It has even become evident, not only to all the imperial guard, but to everyone else, that it is for Christ’s sake that I am in chains.
14 and the/this/who greater the/this/who brother in/on/among lord: God to persuade the/this/who chain me more excessively be bold fearlessly the/this/who word (the/this/who God *O*) to speak
And besides this, most of our fellow followers have gained confidence in the Lord through my chains, and now venture with far greater freedom to speak of God’s message fearlessly.
15 one on the other hand and through/because of envy and quarrel one then and through/because of goodwill the/this/who Christ to preach
It is true that some do proclaim the Christ out of jealousy and opposition, but there are others who proclaim him from goodwill.
16 the/this/who on the other hand out from love to know that/since: that toward defence the/this/who gospel to lay/be appointed
The latter do it from love for me, knowing that I have been appointed to plead the cause of the good news.
17 the/this/who then out from rivalry the/this/who Christ to proclaim no purely to suppose pressure (to arise *N(k)O*) the/this/who chain me
The former spread the news of the Christ in a factious spirit, and not sincerely, thinking to add to the pain of my chains.
18 which? for but/however (that/since: that *no*) all way whether pretense whether truth Christ to proclaim and in/on/among this/he/she/it to rejoice but and to rejoice
But what of that? Only that in some way or other, either with assumed or with real earnestness, Christ is being made known; and at that I rejoice.
19 to know for that/since: that this/he/she/it me to get out toward salvation through/because of the/this/who you petition and supply the/this/who spirit/breath: spirit Jesus Christ
Yes, and I will rejoice, for I know that, through your prayers and through a rich supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, all this will make for my salvation.
20 according to the/this/who eager expectation and hope me that/since: that in/on/among none be ashamed but in/on/among all boldness as/when always and now to magnify Christ in/on/among the/this/who body me whether through/because of life whether through/because of death
And this will fulfil my earnest expectation and hope that I will have no cause for shame, but that, with unfailing courage, now as before, Christ will be honoured in my body, whether by my life or by my death,
21 I/we for the/this/who to live Christ and the/this/who to die gain
for to me life is Christ, and death is gain.
22 if then the/this/who to live in/on/among flesh this/he/she/it me fruit work and which? to choose no to make known
But what if the life here in the body – if this brings me fruit from my labours? Then which to choose I cannot tell! I am sorely perplexed either way!
23 to hold/oppress (then *N(k)O*) out from the/this/who two the/this/who desire to have/be toward the/this/who to depart and with Christ to exist much (for *no*) more greater
My own desire is to depart and be with Christ, for this would be far better.
24 the/this/who then to remain/keep on in/on/among the/this/who flesh necessary through/because of you
But, for your sakes, it may be more needful that I should still remain here in the body.
25 and this/he/she/it to persuade to know that/since: that to stay and (to continue *N(k)O*) all you toward the/this/who you progress and joy the/this/who faith
Yes, I am confident that this is so, and therefore I am sure that I will stay, and stay near you all, to promote your progress and joy in the faith;
26 in order that/to the/this/who pride you to exceed in/on/among Christ Jesus in/on/among I/we through/because of the/this/who I/we coming again to/with you
so that, when you once more have me among you, you, in your union with Christ Jesus, may find in me fresh cause for exultation.
27 alone appropriately the/this/who gospel the/this/who Christ be a citizen in order that/to whether to come/go and to perceive: see you whether be away (to hear *N(k)O*) the/this/who about you that/since: that to stand in/on/among one spirit/breath: spirit one soul to contend the/this/who faith the/this/who gospel
Under all circumstances let your lives be worthy of the good news of the Christ: so that, whether I come and see you, or whether I hear of your affairs at a distance, I may know that you are standing firm, animated by one spirit, and joining with one heart in a common struggle for the faith taught by the good news,
28 and not to frighten in/on/among nothing by/under: by the/this/who be an opponent who/which to be it/s/he (on the other hand *k*) demonstration destruction (you *N(k)O*) then salvation and this/he/she/it away from God
without ever shrinking from your opponents. To them this will be a sign of their destruction and of your salvation – a sign from God.
29 that/since: since you to give grace the/this/who above/for Christ no only the/this/who toward it/s/he to trust (in) but and the/this/who above/for it/s/he to suffer
For, on behalf of Christ, you have had the privilege granted you, not only of trusting in him, but also of suffering on his behalf.
30 the/this/who it/s/he fight to have/be such as (to perceive: see *N(k)O*) in/on/among I/we and now to hear in/on/among I/we
You will be engaged in the same hard struggle as that which you once saw me waging, and which you hear that I am waging still.
