[ Philippians 1]
1:1 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy-ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons {1Ti 3, Tit 1}: 1:2 grace to you* and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3 I am giving-thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you*, 1:4 always in my every supplication on behalf of all of you*, making* the supplication with joy, 1:5 on your* fellowship in the good-news from the first day till now. 1:6 I have confidence of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you* will be completing it till the day of Jesus Christ; 1:7 just-as it is a righteous thing for me to be mindful of this on behalf of all of you*, because I have you* in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, all of you* being fellow partners with me of the grace. 1:8 For* God is my witness, how I am longing-for all of you*in the affections of Christ Jesus. 1:9 And I am praying for this: in order that your* love* may abound still more and more in full knowledge and all comprehension; 1:10*that* you* may approve the things which are carrying more-value; in order that you* may be sincere and guilt-free in the day of Christ; 1:11 having been filled with the fruits of righteousness, which is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
1:12 Now brethren, I am planning for you* to know, that the things against me have come rather*for the progress of the good-news; 1:13 so-then my bonds became apparent in Christ in the whole palace guard and to all the rest; 1:14 and that most of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence because of my bonds, even-more so to dare to speak fearlessly the word of God. 1:15 Some indeed are preaching the Christ even because of envy and strife, but some also through their delight. 1:16Those are indeed proclaiming the Christ out of selfish ambition, not purely, assuming to bringmore affliction upon my bonds. 1:17 But the latter ones do it out of love*, knowing that I am reserved *for the defense of the good-news. 1:18 For* what then? Other-than Christ is proclaimed in every manner: whether in pretext or in truth. And I am rejoicing in this, but also, I will be rejoicing again. 1:19 For* I know that this will be transpiring *for my salvation, through your*supplication and the supplying of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 1:20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will be shamed in nothing, but as always, now Christ will also be magnified in my body in all boldness, whether through life or through death. 1:21 For* to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 1:22 But if to live in the fleshС this is the fruit of work to me, and what will I select for myself? I do not know. 1:23 Now I am troubled from the two ends, having the desire, *that* I should vacate and be together with Christ, which is much better even more. 1:24 But to remain in the flesh is necessary because of you*. 1:25 And having confidence of this, I know that I will remain, and I will be abiding together with you* all, *for your* progress and joy in the faith;1:26 in order that your* boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me, through my presence with you*again. 1:27 Only behave-as* citizens worthy of the good-news of the Christ; in order that, if I came and saw you* or am absent, I may hear about the things concerning you*, that you* are standing-firm in one spirit, with one soul contending together with us in the faith of the good-news. 1:28And being terrified in nothing by those who lay in opposition to you*; which to them indeed is an example of destruction, but to you*is an example of salvation and this thing is from God, 1:29because it was granted to you* on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf; 1:30 having the same struggle such-as you* saw in me, and now are hearing to be in me.
