1 G3972 Paul G2532 and G5095 Timotheus G1401 , the servants G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ G3956 , to all G40 the saints G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus G5607 which are [G5752] G1722 at G5375 Philippi G4862 , with G1985 the bishops G2532 and G1249 deacons:

2 G5485 Grace G5213 be unto you G2532 , and G1515 peace G575 , from G2316 God G2257 our G3962 Father G2532 , and G2962 from the Lord G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ.

3 G2168 I thank [G5719] G3450 my G2316 God G1909 upon G3956 every G3417 remembrance G5216 of you,

4 G3842 Always G1722 in G3956 every G1162 prayer G3450 of mine G5228 for G5216 you G3956 all G4160 making [G5734] G1162 request G3326 with G5479 joy,

5 G1909 For G5216 your G2842 fellowship G1519 in G2098 the gospel G575 from G4413 the first G2250 day G891 until G3568 now;

6 G3982 Being confident [G5756] G5124 of this G846 very thing G3754 , that G1728 he which hath begun [G5666] G18 a good G2041 work G1722 in G5213 you G2005 will perform [G5692] G891 it until G2250 the day G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ:

7 G2531 Even as G2076 it is [G5748] G1342 meet G1698 for me G5426 to think [G5721] G5124 this G5228 of G5216 you G3956 all G1223 , because G2192 I have [G5721] G5209 you G1722 in G3165 my G2588 heart G5037 ; inasmuch as both G1722 in G3450 my G1199 bonds G2532 , and G627 in the defence G2532 and G951 confirmation G2098 of the gospel G5209 , ye G3956 all G5607 are [G5752] G4791 partakers G3450 of my G5485 grace.

8 G1063 For G2316 God G2076 is [G5748] G3450 my G3144 record G5613 , how G1971 greatly I long after [G5719] G5209 you G3956 all G1722 in G4698 the bowels G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ.

9 G2532 And G5124 this G4336 I pray [G5736] G2443 , that G5216 your G26 love G4052 may abound [G5725] G2089 yet G3123 more G2532 and G3123 more G1722 in G1922 knowledge G2532 and G3956 in all G144 judgment;

10 G1519 That G5209 ye G1381 may approve [G5721] G1308 things that are excellent [G5723] G2443 ; that G5600 ye may be [G5753] G1506 sincere G2532 and G677 without offence G1519 till G2250 the day G5547 of Christ;

11 G4137 Being filled [G5772] G2590 with the fruits G1343 of righteousness G3588 , which G1223 are by G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1519 , unto G1391 the glory G2532 and G1868 praise G2316 of God.

12 G1161 But G1014 I would [G5736] G5209 ye G1097 should understand [G5721] G80 , brethren G3754 , that G2596 the things which happened unto G1691 me G2064 have fallen out [G5754] G3123 rather G1519 unto G4297 the furtherance G2098 of the gospel;

13 G5620 So that G3450 my G1199 bonds G1722 in G5547 Christ G1096 are [G5635] G5318 manifest G1722 in G3650 all G4232 the palace G2532 , and G3956 in all G3062 other places;

14 G2532 And G4119 many G80 of the brethren G1722 in G2962 the Lord G3982 , waxing confident [G5756] G3450 by my G1199 bonds G4056 , are much more G5111 bold [G5721] G2980 to speak [G5721] G3056 the word G870 without fear.

15 G5100 Some G3303 indeed G2784 preach [G5719] G5547 Christ G2532 even G1223 of G5355 envy G2532 and G2054 strife G1161 ; and G5100 some G2532 also G1223 of G2107 good will:

16 G3303 The one G2605 preach [G5719] G5547 Christ G1537 of G2052 contention G3756 , not G55 sincerely G3633 , supposing [G5740] G2018 to add [G5721] G2347 affliction G3450 to my G1199 bonds:

17 G1161 But G1537 the other of G26 love G1492 , knowing [G5761] G3754 that G2749 I am set [G5736] G1519 for G627 the defence G2098 of the gospel.

18 G5101 What G1063 then G4133 ? notwithstanding G3956 , every G5158 way G1535 , whether G4392 in pretence G1535 , or G225 in truth G5547 , Christ G2605 is preached [G5743] G2532 ; and G5463 I G1722 therein G5129 G5463 do rejoice [G5719] G235 , yea G2532 , and G5463 will rejoice [G5690] .

19 G1063 For G1492 I know [G5758] G3754 that G5124 this G576 shall turn [G5695] G1519 to G3427 my G4991 salvation G1223 through G5216 your G1162 prayer G2532 , and G2024 the supply G4151 of the Spirit G2424 of Jesus G5547 Christ,

20 G2596 According G3450 to my G603 earnest expectation G2532 and G1680 my hope G3754 , that G1722 in G3762 nothing G153 I shall be ashamed [G5701] G235 , but G1722 that with G3956 all G3954 boldness G5613 , as G3842 always G3568 , so now G2532 also G5547 Christ G3170 shall be magnified [G5701] G1722 in G3450 my G4983 body G1535 , whether G1223 it be by G2222 life G1535 , or G1223 by G2288 death.

21 G1063 For G1698 to me G2198 to live [G5721] G5547 is Christ G2532 , and G599 to die [G5629] G2771 is gain.

22 G1161 But G1487 if G2198 I live [G5721] G1722 in G4561 the flesh G5124 , this G2590 is the fruit G2041 of my labour G3427 G2532 : yet G5101 what G138 I shall choose [G5698] G1107 I wot [G5719] G3756 not.

23 G1063 For G4912 I am in a strait [G5743] G1537 betwixt G1417 two G2192 , having [G5723] G1939 a desire G1519 to G360 depart [G5658] G2532 , and G1511 to be [G5750] G4862 with G5547 Christ G4183 ; which is far G3123 G2908 better:

24 G1161 Nevertheless G1961 to abide [G5721] G1722 in G4561 the flesh G316 is more needful G1223 for G5209 you.

25 G2532 And G5124 having this G3982 confidence [G5756] G1492 , I know [G5758] G3754 that G3306 I shall abide [G5692] G2532 and G4839 continue [G5692] G5213 with you G3956 all G1519 for G5216 your G4297 furtherance G2532 and G5479 joy G4102 of faith;

26 G2443 That G5216 your G2745 rejoicing G4052 may be more abundant [G5725] G1722 in G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G1722 for G1698 me G1223 by G1699 my G3952 coming G4314 to G5209 you G3825 again.

27 G3440 Only G4176 let your conversation be [G5737] G516 as it becometh G2098 the gospel G5547 of Christ G2443 : that G1535 whether G2064 I come [G5631] G2532 and G1492 see [G5631] G5209 you G1535 , or G548 else be absent [G5752] G191 , I may hear [G5661] G5216 of your G4012 affairs G3754 , that G4739 ye stand fast [G5719] G1722 in G1520 one G4151 spirit G3391 , with one G5590 mind G4866 striving together [G5723] G4102 for the faith G2098 of the gospel;

28 G2532 And G1722 in G3367 nothing G3361 G4426 terrified [G5746] G5259 by G480 your adversaries [G5740] G3748 : which G2076 is [G5748] G846 to them G3303 G1732 an evident token G684 of perdition G1161 , but G5213 to you G4991 of salvation G2532 , and G5124 that G575 of G2316 God.

29 G3754 For G5213 unto you G5483 it is given [G5681] G5228 in the behalf G5547 of Christ G3756 , not G3440 only G4100 to believe [G5721] G1519 on G846 him G235 , but G2532 also G3958 to suffer [G5721] G5228 for G846 his sake G5228 ;

30 G2192 Having [G5723] G846 the same G73 conflict G3634 which G1492 ye saw [G5628] [G5625] G1492 [G5627] G1722 in G1698 me G2532 , and G3568 now G191 hear [G5719] G1722 to be in G1698 me.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: ² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. ³ I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you, ⁴ always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy, ⁵ for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now; ⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he which began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: ⁷ even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace. ⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus. ⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; ¹⁰ so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; ¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. ¹² Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things [which happened] unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel; ¹³ so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest; ¹⁴ and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear. ¹⁵ Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: ¹⁶ the one [do it] of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel: ¹⁷ but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds. ¹⁸ What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. ¹⁹ For I know that this shall turn to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death. ²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ²² But if to live in the flesh,—[if] this is the fruit of my work, then what I shall choose I wot not. ²³ But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better: ²⁴ yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake. ²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith; ²⁶ that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again. ²⁷ Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel; ²⁸ and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God; ²⁹ because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: ³⁰ having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
