Philippians 1:1
|
|
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:2
|
|
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:3
|
|
I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,
|
|
|
|
Philippians 1:4
|
|
always
in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with
joy, |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:5
|
|
for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel
from the first day until now; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:6
|
|
being confident of this very thing, that he
who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ: |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:7
|
|
even as it is right for me to be thus minded
on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my
bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers
with me of grace. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:8
|
|
For God is my witness, how I long after you
all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:9
|
|
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and all discernment; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:10
|
|
so that ye may approve the things that are excellent;
that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:11
|
|
being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:12
|
|
Now I would have you know, brethren, that the
things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the
gospel; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:13
|
|
so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout
the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:14
|
|
and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being
confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God
without fear. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:15
|
|
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife;
and some also of good will: |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:16
|
|
the one do it of love, knowing that I am set
for the defence of the gospel; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:17
|
|
but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not
sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:18
|
|
What then? only that in every way, whether in
pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will
rejoice. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:19
|
|
For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation,
through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:20
|
|
according to my earnest expectation and hope,
that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always,
so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
|
|
|
|
Philippians 1:21
|
|
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is
gain. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:22
|
|
But if to live in the flesh, --if this shall
bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:23
|
|
But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having
the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better: |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:24
|
|
yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for
your sake. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:25
|
|
And having this confidence, I know that I shall
abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:26
|
|
that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus
in me through my presence with you again. |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:27
|
|
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the
gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of
your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith
of the gospel; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:28
|
|
and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries:
which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that
from God; |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:29
|
|
because to you it hath been granted in the behalf
of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: |
|
|
|
Philippians 1:30
|
|
having the same conflict which ye saw in me,
and now hear to be in me. |
