Philippians Chapter 1

1PaulG3972 and TimothyG5095, servantsG1249 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424, to all the saintsG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 that areG1510 at PhilippiG5375, with the bishops and deaconsG1249: 2GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

3I thankG2168 my GodG2316 upon all my remembranceG3417 of you, 4alwaysG3842 in every supplicationG1162 of mineG1473 on behalfG5228 of you all makingG4160 my supplicationG1162 with joyG5479, 5for your fellowshipG2842 in furtherance of the gospelG2098 from the firstG4413 dayG2250 until nowG3568; 6being confidentG3982 of this very thingG18, that he who began a goodG18 workG2041 in you will perfect it until the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 7evenG2532 as it isG1510 rightG1342 for me to beG1510 thus minded on behalfG5228 of you all, because I have you in my heartG2588, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmationG951 of the gospelG2098, ye all areG1510 partakers with me of graceG5485. 8For GodG2316 is my witnessG3144, howG5613 I longG1971 after you all in the tender mercies of ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 9And this I prayG4336, that your loveG26 may aboundG4052 yet moreG3123 and moreG3123 in knowledgeG1922 and all discernment; 10soG2443 that ye may approveG1381 the things that areG1510 excellent; that ye may beG1510 sincere and void of offence unto the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; 11being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousnessG1343, which are through JesusG2424 ChristG5547, unto the gloryG1391 and praiseG1868 of GodG2316.

12NowG1161 I would have you knowG1097, brethren, that the thingswhich happened unto me have fallen out ratherG3123 unto the progressG4297 of the gospelG2098; 13so that my bonds becameG1096 manifest in ChristG5547 throughout the wholeG3650 prætorian guard, and to all the restG3062; 14and that most of the brethren in the LordG2962, being confidentG3982 through my bonds, are moreG4183 abundantly bold to speakG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 without fearG870. 15Some indeed preachG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 of envyG5355 and strifeG2054; and some alsoG2532 of goodG2107 will: 16the oneG3588 do it of loveG26, knowing that I am setG2749 for the defence of the gospelG2098; 17but the other proclaimG2605 ChristG5547 of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raiseG1453 up afflictionG2347 for me in my bonds. 18What then? only that in every wayG5158, whether in pretence or in truthG225, ChristG5547 is proclaimedG2605; and therein I rejoiceG5463, yea, and will rejoiceG5463. 19For I know that this shall turn out to my salvationG4991, through your supplicationG1162 and the supply of the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 20accordingG2596 to my earnestG603 expectationG603 and hopeG1680, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldnessG3954, as alwaysG3842, so nowG3568 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 shall be magnifiedG3170 in my bodyG4983, whether by lifeG2222, or by deathG2288. 21For to me to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, and to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22But if to liveG2198 in the fleshG4561,—if this shall bring fruitG2590 from my workG2041, then what I shall choose I know not. 23But I amG1510 in a strait betwixt the twoG1417, having the desireG1939 to depart and beG1510 with ChristG5547; for it isG1510 very far better: 24yet to abide in the fleshG4561 is more needful for your sakeG1223. 25And having this confidenceG3982, I know that I shall abideG3306, yea, and abideG3306 with you all, for your progressG4297 and joyG5479 in the faithG4102; 26that your glorying may aboundG4052 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 in me through my presenceG3952 with you againG3825. 27OnlyG3440 let your manner of lifeG5590 be worthy of the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: that, whether I comeG2064 and seeG3708 you or be absentG548, I may hearG191 of your state, that ye standG4739 fast in oneG1520 spiritG4151, with oneG1520 soulG5590 striving for the faithG4102 of the gospelG2098; 28and in nothingG3367 affrighted by the adversaries: which isG1510 for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvationG4991, and that from GodG2316; 29because to you it hath been grantedG5483 in the behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, not onlyG3440 to believeG4100 on him, but alsoG2532 to sufferG3958 in his behalfG5228: 30having the sameG846 conflictG73 which ye sawG3708 in me, and nowG3568 hearG191 to be in me.
