PHIP 1:1
Philippians 1:1
|
|
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ,
to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and
deacons: |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:2
Philippians 1:2
|
|
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father,
and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:3
Philippians 1:3
|
|
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:4
Philippians 1:4
|
|
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making
request with joy, |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:5
Philippians 1:5
|
|
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first
day until now; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:6
Philippians 1:6
|
|
Being confident of this very thing, that he
which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:7
Philippians 1:7
|
|
Even as it is meet for me to think this 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 of my grace. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:8
Philippians 1:8
|
|
For God is my record, how greatly I long after
you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:9
Philippians 1:9
|
|
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet
more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:10
Philippians 1:10
|
|
That ye may approve things that are excellent;
that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:11
Philippians 1:11
|
|
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:12
Philippians 1:12
|
|
But I would ye should understand, brethren,
that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance
of the gospel; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:13
Philippians 1:13
|
|
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all
the palace, and in all other places; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:14
Philippians 1:14
|
|
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing
confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:15
Philippians 1:15
|
|
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife;
and some also of good will: |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:16
Philippians 1:16
|
|
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely,
supposing to add affliction to my bonds: |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:17
Philippians 1:17
|
|
But the other of love, knowing that I am set
for the defence of the gospel. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:18
Philippians 1:18
|
|
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether
in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and
will rejoice. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:19
Philippians 1:19
|
|
For I know that this shall turn to my salvation
through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:20
Philippians 1:20
|
|
According to my earnest expectation and my hope,
that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so
now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:21
Philippians 1:21
|
|
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:22
Philippians 1:22
|
|
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit
of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:23
Philippians 1:23
|
|
For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire
to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:24
Philippians 1:24
|
|
Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful
for you. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:25
Philippians 1:25
|
|
And having this confidence, I know that I shall
abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:26
Philippians 1:26
|
|
That your rejoicing may be more abundant in
Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:27
Philippians 1:27
|
|
Only let your conversation be as it becometh
the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may
hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:28
Philippians 1:28
|
|
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries:
which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that
of God. |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:29
Philippians 1:29
|
|
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ,
not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; |
|
|
|
PHIP 1:30
Philippians 1:30
|
|
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me,
and now hear to be in me. |
