  • 1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
   2   Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
   3   I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
   4   always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,
   5   for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,
   6   being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
   7   just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my grace.
   8   Because, God is my witness, how greatly I long for you all with the affection of Jesus Christ.
   9   And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and in all discernment,
   10   that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ,
   11   being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
   12   But I want you to understand, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,
   13   so that it has become evident to the entire palace, and to every other place, that my chains are in Christ;
   14   and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
   15   Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:
   16   The former preach Christ from contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;
   17   but the other out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
   18   What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
   19   Because, I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
   20   according to my earnest expectation and my hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
   21   Because to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
   22   But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I do not know.
   23   Because, I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
   24   Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
   25   And being confident of this, I know that I will abide and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,
   26   that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.
   27   Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel,
   28   and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
   29   Because, to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His sake,
   30   having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
