11PaulG3972 and 2TimothyG5095, 3bond-servantsG1401 of 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424,

To 5allG3956 the 67saintsG40 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 who are in 8PhilippiG5375, 9includingG4862 the 10overseersG1985 and 11deaconsG1249: 212GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515 from GodG2316 our FatherG3962 and the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.

313I thankG2168 my GodG2316 in allG3956 my remembranceG3417 of you, 4alwaysG3842 offeringG4160 prayerG1162 with joyG5479 in 14my everyG3956 prayerG1162 for you allG3956, 5in viewG1909 of your 1516participationG2842 in the 17gospelG2098 18from the firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 nowG3568. 6For I am confidentG3982 of thisG3778 veryG846 thingG846, that He who beganG1728 a goodG18 workG2041 in you will perfectG2005 it untilG891 19the dayG2250 of ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 720For 21it is onlyG2531 rightG1342 for me to feelG5426 thisG3778 wayG3778 aboutG5228 you allG3956, becauseG1223 I 22haveG2192 you in my heartG2588, since bothG5037 in my 2324imprisonmentG1199 and in the 25defenseG627 and confirmationG951 of the 26gospelG2098, you allG3956 are partakersG4791 of graceG5485 with me. 8For 27GodG2316 is my witnessG3144, howG5613 I longG1971 for you allG3956 with the 28affectionG4698 of 29ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 9And thisG3778 I prayG4336, that 30your loveG26 may aboundG4052 stillG2089 moreG3123 and moreG3123 in 31realG1922 knowledgeG1922 and allG3956 discernmentG144, 10soG1519 that you may 3233approveG1381 the things that are excellentG1308, in orderG2443 to be sincereG1506 and blamelessG677 34untilG1519 35the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; 11having been filledG4137 with the 36fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 which comes throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the gloryG1391 and praiseG1868 of GodG2316.

The Gospel Is Preached

12NowG1161 I wantG1014 you to knowG1097, brethrenG80, that my circumstancesG3588G2596 37have turnedG2064 out for the greaterG3123 progressG4297 of the 38gospelG2098, 13soG5620 that my 3940imprisonmentG1199 in the cause of ChristG5547 has becomeG1096 wellG5318 knownG5318 throughoutG1722 the wholeG3650 41praetorianG4232 guardG4232 and to 42everyoneG3956 elseG3062, 14and that mostG4183 of the 43brethrenG80, trustingG3982 in the LordG2962 because of my 4445imprisonmentG1199, haveG5111 46farG4057 moreG4057 courageG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 withoutG870 fearG870. 1547SomeG5100, to be sureG3303, are preachingG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 48from envyG5355 and strifeG2054, but someG5100 alsoG2532 49from goodG2107 willG2107; 16the latterG3303 do it out of loveG26, knowingG3609 that I am appointedG2749 for the defenseG627 of the 50gospelG2098; 17the formerG3588G1161 proclaimG2605 ChristG5547 51out of selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 52ratherG3756 thanG3756 from pureG55 motivesG55, thinkingG3633 to causeG1453 me distressG2347 in my 5354imprisonmentG1199. 18WhatG5101 thenG1063? OnlyG4133 that in everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenseG4392 orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is proclaimedG2605; and in thisG3778 I rejoiceG5463.

YesG235, and I will rejoiceG5463, 19for I knowG3609 that thisG3778 will turnG576 out for my 55deliveranceG4991 56throughG1223 your 57prayersG1162 and the provisionG2024 of 58the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 20accordingG2596 to my 59earnestG603 expectationG603 and 60hopeG1680, that I will not be putG153 to shameG153 in anythingG3762, but that with 61allG3956 boldnessG3954, ChristG5547 will evenG2532 nowG3568, as alwaysG3842, be 62exaltedG3170 in my bodyG4983, 63whetherG1535 by lifeG2222 orG1535 by deathG2288.

To Live Is Christ

21For to me, 64to liveG2198 is ChristG5547 and to dieG599 is gainG2771. 2265But ifG1487 I am to liveG2198 on in the fleshG4561, thisG3778 will mean 66fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for me; and I do not knowG1107 67whichG5101 to chooseG138. 23But I am hard-pressedG4912 from bothG1417 directions, havingG2192 the 68desireG1939 to departG360 and 69be with ChristG5547, for that is veryG4183 muchG4183 betterG2909; 24yetG1161 to remainG1961 on in the fleshG4561 is moreG316 necessaryG316 for your sakeG1223. 2570ConvincedG3982 of thisG3778, I knowG3609 that I will remainG3306 and continueG3887 with you allG3956 for your progressG4297 and joyG5479 71in the faithG4102, 26soG2443 that your 72proudG2745 confidenceG2745 in me may aboundG4052 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 throughG1223 my comingG3952 to you againG3825.

27OnlyG3440 conductG4176 yourselves in a mannerG516 73worthyG516 of the 74gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, soG2443 that whetherG1535 I comeG2064 and seeG3708 you orG1535 remainG548 absentG548, I will hearG191 of you that you are 75standingG4739 firmG4739 in 76oneG1520 spiritG4151, with oneG1520 77mindG5590 78strivingG4866 togetherG4866 for the faithG4102 of the gospelG2098; 28in noG3367 wayG3367 alarmedG4426 by your opponentsG480--whichG3748 is a 79signG1732 of destructionG684 for them, but of salvationG4991 for you, and that too, from GodG2316. 29For to you 80it has been grantedG5483 for Christ’sG5547 sakeG5228, not onlyG3440 to believeG4100 in Him, but alsoG2532 to 81sufferG3958 for His sakeG5228, 30experiencingG2192 the sameG846 82conflictG73 whichG3634 83you sawG3708 in me, and nowG3568 hearG191 to be in me.
