Philippians 1:12-30

12NowG1161 I wantG1014 you to knowG1097, brothersG80 and sisters, that my circumstancesG3588 G2596 1have turnedG2064 outG2064 for the greaterG3123 progressG4297 of the 2gospelG2098, 13soG5620 thatG5620 my 3 4imprisonmentG1199 in the cause of ChristG5547 has becomeG1096 wellG5318 knownG5318 throughoutG1722 G3650 the 5praetorianG4232 guardG4232 and to 6everyoneG3956 elseG3062, 14and that mostG4183 of the brothersG80 and sisters, 7trustingG3982 in the LordG2962 because of my 8 9imprisonmentG1199, haveG5111 10farG4056 moreG4056 courageG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 withoutG870 fearG870. 15 11SomeG5100, to be sureG3303, are preachingG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 12from envyG5355 and strifeG2054, but someG5100 alsoG2532 13from goodwillG2107; 16the latterG3303 do it out of loveG26, knowingG3609 that I am appointedG2749 for the defenseG627 of the 14gospelG2098; 17the formerG3588 G1161 proclaimG2605 ChristG5547 15out of selfishG2052 ambitionG2052 16ratherG3756 thanG3756 from pureG55 motivesG55, thinkingG3633 that they are causingG1453 me distressG2347 in my 17 18imprisonmentG1199. 18WhatG5101 thenG1063? OnlyG4133 that in everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenseG4392 orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is proclaimedG2605, and in thisG3778 I rejoiceG5463.

But not only that, I alsoG2532 will rejoiceG5463, 19for I knowG3609 that thisG3778 will turnG576 outG576 for my 19deliveranceG4991 20throughG1223 your 21prayersG1162 and the provisionG2024 of 22the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 20accordingG2596 to my 23eagerG603 expectationG603 and 24hopeG1680, that I will not be putG153 toG153 shameG153 in anythingG3762, but that with 25allG3956 boldnessG3954, ChristG5547 will evenG2532 nowG3568, as alwaysG3842, be 26exaltedG3170 in my bodyG4983, 27whetherG1535 by lifeG2222 orG1535 by deathG2288. 21For to me, 28to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, and to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22 29But ifG1487 I am to liveG2198 on in the fleshG4561, thisG3778 will mean 30fruitfulG2590 laborG2041 for me; and I do not knowG1107 31whichG5101 to chooseG138. 23But I am hard-pressedG4912 from bothG1417 directions, havingG2192 the 32desireG1939 to departG360 and 33be with ChristG5547, for that is veryG4183 muchG4183 betterG2909; 24yetG1161 to remainG1961 on in the fleshG4561 is moreG316 necessaryG316 for your sakesG1223. 25 34ConvincedG3982 of thisG3778, I knowG3609 that I will remainG3306 and continueG3887 with you allG3956 for your progressG4297 and joyG5479 35in the faithG4102, 26soG2443 thatG2443 your 36prideG2745 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 may beG4052 abundantG4052 becauseG1722 of me by my comingG3952 to you againG3825.

27OnlyG3440 conductG4176 yourselves inG516 aG516 mannerG516 37worthyG516 of the 38gospelG2098 of ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 whetherG1535 I comeG2064 and seeG3708 you orG1535 remainG548 absentG548, I will hearG191 aboutG4012 you that you are 39standingG4739 firmG4739 in 40oneG1520 spiritG4151, with oneG1520 41mindG5590 42strivingG4866 togetherG4866 for the faithG4102 of the gospelG2098; 28and in noG3367 wayG3367 alarmedG4426 by your opponentsG480--whichG3748 is a 43signG1732 of destructionG684 for them, but of salvationG4991 for you, and thisG3778 too, from GodG2316. 29For to you 44it has been grantedG5483 forG5228 Christ’sG5547 sakeG5228, not onlyG3440 to believeG4100 in Him, but alsoG2532 to 45sufferG3958 onG5228 His behalfG5228, 30experiencingG2192 the sameG846 46conflictG73 whichG3634 47you sawG3708 in me, and nowG3568 hearG191 to be in me.
