1:1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy-ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons {1Ti 3, Tit 1} :

1:2 grace to you* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3 I am giving-thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you*,

1:4 always in my every supplication on behalf of all of you*, making* the supplication with joy,

1:5 on your* fellowship in the good-news from the first day till now.

1:6 I have confidence of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you* will be completing it till the day of Jesus Christ;

1:7 just-as it is a righteous thing for me to be mindful of this on behalf of all of you*, because I have you* in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, all of you* being joint partners with me of the grace.

1:8 For* God is my witness, how I am longing-for all of you* in the affections of Christ Jesus.

1:9 And I am praying for this: in order that your* love* may abound still more and more in full knowledge and all comprehension;

1:10 *that* you* may approve the things which are carrying more-value; in order that you* may be sincere and guilt-free in the day of Christ;

1:11 having been filled with the fruits of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.


1:12 Now brethren, I am planning for you* to know, that the things against me have come rather *for the progress of the good-news;

1:13 so-that my bonds became apparent in Christ in the whole palace guard and to all the rest;

1:14 and that most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence because of my bonds, are even-more daring to speak fearlessly the word of God.

1:15 Some indeed are preaching the Christ even because of envy and strife, but some also through their delight.

1:16 Those are indeed proclaiming the Christ out of selfish ambition, not purely, assuming to bring affliction to my bonds.

1:17 But the latter ones do it out of love*, knowing that I am destined *for the defense of the good-news.

1:18 For* what then? Except* that in every manner, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and I am rejoicing in this, but also, I will be rejoicing again.

1:19 For* I know that this will be transpiring *for my salvation, through your* supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be shamed in nothing, but as always, now Christ will also be magnified in my body in all boldness, whether through life or through death.

1:21 For* to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

1:22 But if to live in the flesh?????? this is the fruit of work to me, and what will I select for myself? I do not know.

1:23 Now I am troubled from the two ends, having the desire, *that* I should vacate and be together with Christ , which is much better even more.

1:24 But to remain in the flesh is necessary because of you*.

1:25 And having confidence of this, I know that I will remain, and I will be abiding together with you* all, *for your* progress and joy in the faith;

1:26 in order that your* boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me, through my presence with you* again.

1:27 Only behave-as* citizens worthy of the good-news of the Christ; in order that, if I came and saw you* or am absent, I may hear about the things concerning you*, that you* are standing-firm in one spirit, with one soul contending together with us in the faith of the good-news.

1:28 And being terrified in nothing by those who lay in opposition to you *; which to them indeed is an example of destruction, but to you* is an example of salvation and this thing is from God,

1:29 because it was granted to you* on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf;

1:30 having the same struggle such-as you* saw in me, and now are hearing to be in me.
