PaulG3972 and Timotheus,G5095 the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 to allG3956 the saintsG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 whichG3588 are atG1722 Philippi,G5375 with the bishopsG1985 and deacons:G1249
2
GraceG5485 be to you, and peace,G1515 from GodG2316 our Father,G3962 and from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 Christ.G5547
3
I thankG2168 my GodG2316 on everyG3956 remembranceG3417 of you,
4
AlwaysG3842 in everyG3956 prayerG1162 of myG3450 for you allG3956 makingG4160 requestG1162 with joy,G5479
5
For yourG5216 fellowshipG2842 in the gospelG2098 from the firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 now;G3568
6
Being confidentG3982 of thisG5124 veryG846 thing, that he which has begunG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 in you will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 Christ:G5547
7
EvenG2531 as it is meetG1342 for me to thinkG5426 thisG5124 of you all,G3956 becauseG1223 I haveG2192 you in my heart;G2588 inasmuchG1909 G3745 as bothG5037 in my bonds,G1199 and in the defenseG627 and confirmationG951 of the gospel,G2098 you allG3956 are partakersG4791 of my grace.G5485
8
For GodG2316 is my record,G3144 howG5613 greatlyG1971 I longG1971 afterG1971 you allG3956 in the bowelsG4698 of JesusG2424 Christ.G5547
9
And thisG5124 I pray,G4336 that yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 and moreG3123 in knowledgeG1922 and in allG3956 judgment;G144
10
That you may approveG1381 things that are excellent;G1308 that you may be sincereG1506 and withoutG677 offenseG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of Christ.G5547
11
Being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousness,G1343 whichG3588 are by JesusG2424 Christ,G5547 to the gloryG1391 and praiseG1868 of God.G2316
12
But I would you should understand,G1097 brothers,G80 that the things which happened to me have fallenG2064 out ratherG3123 to the furtheranceG4297 of the gospel;G2098
13
SoG5620 that my bondsG1199 in ChristG5547 are manifestG5318 in allG3650 the palace,G4232 and in allG3956 otherG3062 places;
14
And manyG4119 of the brothersG80 in the Lord,G2962 waxingG3982 confidentG3982 by my bonds,G1199 are muchG4056 moreG4056 boldG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 withoutG870 fear.G870
15
SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 of envyG5355 and strife;G2054 and someG5100 alsoG2532 of goodG2107 will:G2107
16
The oneG3303 preachG2605 ChristG5547 of contention,G2052 not sincerely,G55 supposingG3633 to addG2018 afflictionG2347 to my bonds:G1199
17
But the other of love,G26 knowingG1492 that I am setG2749 for the defenseG627 of the gospel.G2098
18
WhatG5101 then?G1063 notwithstanding,G4133 everyG3956 way,G5158 whetherG1535 in pretense,G4392 orG1535 in truth,G226 ChristG5547 is preached;G2605 and I thereinG1722 G5129 do rejoice,G5463 yes,G235 and will rejoice.G5463
19
For I knowG1492 that thisG5124 shall turnG576 to my salvationG4991 throughG1223 yourG5216 prayer,G1162 and the supplyG2024 of the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 Christ,G5547
20
AccordingG2596 to my earnestG603 expectationG603 and my hope,G1680 that in nothingG3762 I shall be ashamed,G153 but that with allG3956 boldness,G3954 as always,G3842 so nowG3568 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 shall be magnifiedG3170 in my body,G4983 whetherG1535 it be by life,G2222 orG1535 by death.G2288
21
For to me to liveG2198 is Christ,G5547 and to dieG599 is gain.G2771
22
But ifG1487 I liveG2198 in the flesh,G4561 thisG5124 is the fruitG2590 of my labor:G2041 yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138 I knowG1107 not.
23
For I am in a straitG4912 betweenG1537 two,G1417 havingG2192 a desireG1939 to depart,G360 and to be with Christ;G5547 which is farG4183 G3123 better:G2909
24
NeverthelessG1161 to abideG1961 in the fleshG4561 is moreG316 needfulG316 for you.
25
And having thisG5124 confidence,G3982 I knowG1492 that I shall abideG3306 and continueG4839 with you allG3956 for yourG5216 furtheranceG4297 and joyG5479 of faith;G4102
26
That yourG5216 rejoicingG2745 may be more abundantG4052 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 for me by my comingG3952 to you again.G3825
27
OnlyG3440 let your conversationG4176 be as it becomesG516 the gospelG2098 of Christ:G5547 that whetherG1535 I comeG2064 and seeG1492 you, orG1535 else be absent,G548 I may hearG191 of yourG5216 affairs,G4012 that you standG4739 fast in oneG1520 spirit,G4151 with oneG3391 mindG5590 strivingG4866 togetherG4866 for the faithG4102 of the gospel;G2098
28
And in nothingG3367 terrifiedG4426 by yourG3588 adversaries:G480 whichG3748 is to them an evidentG1732 tokenG1732 of perdition,G684 but to you of salvation,G4991 and that of God.G2316
29
For to you it is givenG5483 in the behalfG5228 of Christ,G5547 not onlyG3440 to believeG4100 onG1519 him, but alsoG2532 to sufferG3958 for his sake;
30
HavingG2192 the sameG846 conflictG73 whichG3634 you sawG1492 in me, and nowG3568 hearG191 to be in me.
