1Paul3972 and2532 Timotheus5095, the servants1401 of Jesus2424 Christ5547, to all3956 the saints40 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424 which are5607 at1722 Philippi5375, with4862 the bishops1985 and2532 deacons1249:
2Grace5485 be unto you5213, and2532 peace1515, from575 God2316 our2257 Father3962, and2532 from the Lord2962 Jesus2424 Christ5547.
3I thank2168 my3450 God2316 upon1909 every3956 remembrance3417 of you5216,
4Always3842 in1722 every3956 prayer1162 of mine3450 for5228 you5216 all3956 making4160 request1162 with3326 joy5479,
5For1909 your5216 fellowship2842 in1519 the gospel2098 from575 the first4413 day2250 until891 now3568;
6Being confident3982 of this5124 very thing846, that3754 he which hath begun1728 a good18 work2041 in1722 you5213 will perform2005 it until891 the day2250 of Jesus2424 Christ5547:
7Even as2531 it is2076 meet1342 for me1698 to think5426 this5124 of5228 you5216 all3956, because1223 I have2192 you5209 in1722 my3165 heart2588; inasmuch as both5037 in1722 my3450 bonds1199, and2532 in the defence627 and2532 confirmation951 of the gospel2098, ye5209 all3956 are5607 partakers4791 of my3450 grace5485.
8For1063 God2316 is2076 my3450 record3144, how5613 greatly I long after1971 you5209 all3956 in1722 the bowels4698 of Jesus2424 Christ5547.
9And2532 this5124 I pray4336, that2443 your5216 love26 may abound4052 yet2089 more3123 and2532 more3123 in1722 knowledge1922 and2532 in all3956 judgment144;
10That1519 ye5209 may approve1381 things that are excellent1308; that2443 ye may be5600 sincere1506 and2532 without offence677 till1519 the day2250 of Christ5547;
11Being filled4137 with the fruits2590 of righteousness1343, which3588 are by1223 Jesus2424 Christ5547, unto1519 the glory1391 and2532 praise1868 of God2316.
12But1161 I would1014 ye5209 should understand1097, brethren80, that3754 the things which happened unto2596 me1691 have fallen out2064 rather3123 unto1519 the furtherance4297 of the gospel2098;
13So that5620 my3450 bonds1199 in1722 Christ5547 are1096 manifest5318 in1722 all3650 the palace4232, and2532 in all3956 other3062 places;
14And2532 many4119 of the brethren80 in1722 the Lord2962, waxing confident3982 by my3450 bonds1199, are much more4056 bold5111 to speak2980 the word3056 without fear870.
15Some5100 indeed3303 preach2784 Christ5547 even2532 of1223 envy5355 and2532 strife2054; and1161 some5100 also2532 of1223 good will2107:
16The one3303 preach2605 Christ5547 of1537 contention2052, not3756 sincerely55, supposing3633 to add2018 affliction2347 to my3450 bonds1199:
17But1161 the other of1537 love26, knowing1492 that3754 I am set2749 for1519 the defence627 of the gospel2098.
18What5101 then1063? notwithstanding4133, every3956 way5158, whether1535 in pretence4392, or1535 in truth225, Christ5547 is preached2605; and2532 I5463 therein1722 5129 do rejoice5463, yea235, and2532 will rejoice5463.
19For1063 I know1492 that3754 this5124 shall turn576 to1519 my3427 salvation4991 through1223 your5216 prayer1162, and2532 the supply2024 of the Spirit4151 of Jesus2424 Christ5547,
20According2596 to my3450 earnest expectation603 and2532 my hope1680, that3754 in1722 nothing3762 I shall be ashamed153, but235 that with1722 all3956 boldness3954, as5613 always3842, so now3568 also2532 Christ5547 shall be magnified3170 in1722 my3450 body4983, whether1535 it be by1223 life2222, or1535 by1223 death2288.
21For1063 to me1698 to live2198 is Christ5547, and2532 to die599 is gain2771.
22But1161 if1487 I live2198 in1722 the flesh4561, this5124 is the fruit2590 of my labour2041 3427: yet2532 what5101 I shall choose138 I wot1107 not3756.
23For1063 I am in a strait4912 betwixt1537 two1417, having2192 a desire1939 to1519 depart360, and2532 to be1511 with4862 Christ5547; which is far4183 3123 better2908:
24Nevertheless1161 to abide1961 in1722 the flesh4561 is more needful316 for1223 you5209.
25And2532 having this5124 confidence3982, I know1492 that3754 I shall abide3306 and2532 continue4839 with you5213 all3956 for1519 your5216 furtherance4297 and2532 joy5479 of faith4102;
26That2443 your5216 rejoicing2745 may be more abundant4052 in1722 Jesus2424 Christ5547 for1722 me1698 by1223 my1699 coming3952 to4314 you5209 again3825.
27Only3440 let your conversation be4176 as it becometh516 the gospel2098 of Christ5547: that2443 whether1535 I come2064 and2532 see1492 you5209, or1535 else be absent548, I may hear191 of your5216 affairs4012, that3754 ye stand fast4739 in1722 one1520 spirit4151, with one3391 mind5590 striving together4866 for the faith4102 of the gospel2098;
28And2532 in1722 nothing3367 3361 terrified4426 by5259 your adversaries480: which3748 is2076 to them846 3303 an evident token1732 of perdition684, but1161 to you5213 of salvation4991, and2532 that5124 of575 God2316.
29For3754 unto you5213 it is given5483 in the behalf5228 of Christ5547, not3756 only3440 to believe4100 on1519 him846, but235 also2532 to suffer3958 for5228 his sake846 5228;
30Having2192 the same846 conflict73 which3634 ye saw1492 1492 in1722 me1698, and2532 now3568 hear191 to be in1722 me1698.
