May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 to thank the/this/who God me upon/to/against all the/this/who remembrance you
I thank my God at my every remembrance of you--
4 always in/on/among all petition me above/for all you with/after joy the/this/who petition to do/make: do
always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, finding a joy in offering it.
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
I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even 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 has begun a good work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation 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 I am justified in having this confidence about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself.
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
For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender Christian affection.
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 it is my prayer that your love may be more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing things that differ,
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
so that you may be men of transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for 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
being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come 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
Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than otherwise.
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
And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I am a prisoner;
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 the greater part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, now speak of God's Message without fear, more boldly than ever.
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
Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are also others who do it from good will.
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
These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence 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
while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my imprisonment.
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
What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached--either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, yes, and will 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
For I know that it will result in my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
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
in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either 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, with me, to live is Christ and to die 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 since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies more labour for me--and not unsuccessful labour; and which I am to choose I cannot tell.
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
I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, 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 is more important that I should still remain 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
I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, and shall go on working side by side with 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, as Christians, you may have additional reason for glorying about me as the result of my being with you again.
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
Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder for the faith of 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
Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation--a token coming 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 you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ--not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer 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
maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in.
