Revised Literal Translation
1PaulG3972 andG2532 TimothyG5095, the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to allG3956 the saintsG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 which areG1510 atG1722 PhilippiG5375, withG4862 the bishopsG1985 andG2532 deaconsG1249: 2GraceG5485 be unto youG4771, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG1473 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
3I thankG2168 myG1473 GodG3588G2316 uponG1909 everyG3956 remembranceG3588G3417 of youG4771, 4AlwaysG3842 inG1722 everyG3956 prayerG1162 of mineG1473 forG5228 youG4771 allG3956 makingG4160 requestG3588G1162 withG3326 joyG5479, 5ForG1909 yourG4771 fellowshipG3588G2842 inG1519 the gospelG3588G2098 fromG575 theG2250 firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 nowG3568; 6Being confident ofG3982 thisG3778 very thingG846, thatG3754 he which hath begunG1728 aG2041 goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG4771 will performG2005 it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547: 7Even asG2531 it isG1510 meetG1342 for meG1473 to thinkG5426 thisG3778 ofG5228 youG4771 allG3956, becauseG1223 IG1473 haveG2192 youG4771 inG1722 my heartG3588G2588; inasmuch asG1722 bothG5037 inG3588G1199 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199, andG2532 in the defenceG3588G627 andG2532 confirmationG951 of the gospelG3588G2098, yeG4771 allG3956 areG1510 partakersG4791 ofG3588G5485 myG1473 graceG3588G5485.
8ForG1063 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 myG1473 recordG3144, how greatlyG5613 I longG1971 after youG4771 allG3956 inG1722 the bowelsG4698 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
9AndG2532 thisG3778 I prayG4336, thatG2443 yourG4771 loveG3588G26 may aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgmentG144; 10ThatG1381 yeG4771 may approve thingsG1381 that are excellentG1308; thatG2443 ye may beG1510 sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547; 11Being filledG4137 with the fruitsG2590 of righteousnessG1343, which areG3588 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, untoG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GodG2316.
12ButG1161 I wouldG1014 yeG4771 should understandG1097, brethrenG80, thatG3754 the thingsG3588 which happened untoG2596 meG1473 have fallen outG2064 ratherG3123 untoG1519 the furtheranceG4297 of the gospelG3588G2098; 13So thatG5620 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199 inG1722 ChristG5547 areG1096 manifestG5318 inG1722 allG3650 the palaceG3588G4232, andG2532 inG3062 allG3956 otherG3062 places; 14AndG2532 manyG4119 of the brethrenG3588G80 inG1722 the LordG2962, waxing confidentG3982 byG3588G1199 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199, areG5111 much moreG4057 boldG5111 to speakG2980 the wordG3588G3056 without fearG870. 15SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784 ChristG3588G5547 evenG2532 ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 strifeG2054; andG1161 someG5100 alsoG2532 ofG1223 good willG2107: 16The oneG3588 preachG2605 ChristG3588G5547 ofG1537 contentionG2052, notG3756 sincerelyG55, supposingG3633 to addG2018 afflictionG2347 toG3588G1199 myG1473 bondsG3588G1199: 17ButG1161 the otherG3588 ofG1537 loveG26, knowingG1492 thatG3754 I am setG2749 forG1519 the defenceG627 of the gospelG3588G2098. 18WhatG5101 thenG1063? notwithstandingG4133, everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenceG4392, orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is preachedG2605; andG2532 IG5463 thereinG1722G3778 do rejoiceG5463, yeaG235, andG2532 will rejoiceG5463. 19ForG1063 I knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG3778 shall turnG576 toG1519 myG1473 salvationG4991 throughG1223 yourG4771 prayerG1162, andG2532 the supplyG2024 of the SpiritG3588G4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 20According toG2596 myG1473 earnest expectationG3588G603 andG2532 my hopeG1680, thatG3754 inG1722 nothingG3762 I shall be ashamedG153, butG235 that withG1722 allG3956 boldnessG3954, asG5613 alwaysG3842, so nowG3568 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 shall be magnifiedG3170 inG1722 myG1473 bodyG3588G4983, whetherG1535 it be byG1223 lifeG2222, orG1535 byG1223 deathG2288.
21ForG1063 to meG1473 to liveG2198 is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599 is gainG2771. 22ButG1161 ifG1487 I liveG2198 inG1722 the fleshG4561, thisG3778 is the fruitG2590 ofG2041 myG1473 labourG2041: yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138 I wotG1107 notG3756. 23ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG3588G1417, havingG2192 a desireG3588G1939 toG1519 departG360, andG2532 to beG1510 withG4862 ChristG5547; which isG4183 farG3123 betterG2908: 24NeverthelessG1161 to abideG1961 inG1722 the fleshG3588G4561 is more needfulG316 forG1223 youG4771.
25AndG2532 havingG3982 thisG3778 confidenceG3982, I knowG1492 thatG3754 I shall abideG3306 andG2532 continue withG4839 youG4771 allG3956 forG1519 yourG4771 furtheranceG4297 andG2532 joyG5479 of faithG3588G4102; 26ThatG2443 yourG4771 rejoicingG3588G2745 may be more abundantG4052 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1722 meG1473 byG1223 myG1699 comingG3952 toG4314 youG4771 againG3825.
27OnlyG3440 let your conversation beG4176 as it becomethG516 the gospelG3588G2098 of ChristG3588G5547: thatG2443 whetherG1535 I comeG2064 andG2532 seeG3708 youG4771, or elseG1535 be absentG548, I may hearG191 of yourG4771 affairsG4012, thatG3754 ye stand fastG4739 inG1722 oneG1520 spiritG4151, withG5590 oneG1520 mindG5590 striving togetherG4866 for the faithG3588G4102 of the gospelG3588G2098; 28AndG2532 inG1722 nothingG3367 terrifiedG4426 byG5259 your adversariesG480: whichG3748 isG1510 to themG846 an evident tokenG1732 of perditionG684, butG1161 to youG4771 of salvationG4991, andG2532 thatG3778 ofG575 GodG2316. 29ForG3754 unto youG4771 it is givenG5483 in the behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, notG3756 onlyG3440 to believeG4100 onG1519 himG846, butG235 alsoG2532 to sufferG3958 forG5228 hisG846 sakeG5228; 30HavingG2192 theG3588G73 sameG846 conflictG3588G73 whichG3634 ye sawG3708 inG1722 meG1473, andG2532 nowG3568 hearG191 to be inG1722 meG1473.
