Philippians 1:10-22

10soG1519 that you may 1 2approveG1381 the things that are excellentG1308, in orderG2443 to be sincereG1506 and blamelessG677 3untilG1519 4the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; 11having been filledG4137 with the 5fruitG2590 of righteousnessG1343 which comes throughG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to the gloryG1391 and praiseG1868 of GodG2316.

12NowG1161 I wantG1014 you to knowG1097, brethrenG80, that my circumstancesG3588 G2596 6have turnedG2064 out for the greaterG3123 progressG4297 of the 7gospelG2098, 13soG5620 that my 8 9imprisonmentG1199 in the cause of ChristG5547 has becomeG1096 wellG5318 knownG5318 throughoutG1722 the wholeG3650 10praetorianG4232 guardG4232 and to 11everyoneG3956 elseG3062, 14and that mostG4183 of the 12brethrenG80, trustingG3982 in the LordG2962 because of my 13 14imprisonmentG1199, haveG5111 15farG4057 moreG4057 courageG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 withoutG870 fearG870. 15 16SomeG5100, to be sureG3303, are preachingG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 17from envyG5355 and strifeG2054, but someG5100 alsoG2532 18from goodG2107 willG2107; 16the latterG3303 do it out of loveG26, knowingG3609 that I am appointedG2749 for the defenseG627 of the 19gospelG2098; 17the formerG3588 G1161 proclaimG2605 ChristG5547 20out of selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 21ratherG3756 thanG3756 from pureG55 motivesG55, thinkingG3633 to causeG1453 me distressG2347 in my 22 23imprisonmentG1199. 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 24deliveranceG4991 25throughG1223 your 26prayersG1162 and the provisionG2024 of 27the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 20accordingG2596 to my 28earnestG603 expectationG603 and 29hopeG1680, that I will not be putG153 to shameG153 in anythingG3762, but that with 30allG3956 boldnessG3954, ChristG5547 will evenG2532 nowG3568, as alwaysG3842, be 31exaltedG3170 in my bodyG4983, 32whetherG1535 by lifeG2222 orG1535 by deathG2288. 21For to me, 33to liveG2198 is ChristG5547 and to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22 34But ifG1487 I am to liveG2198 on in the fleshG4561, thisG3778 will mean 35fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for me; and I do not knowG1107 36whichG5101 to chooseG138.
