| 1 Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons. | 1 Paulus et Timotheus servi Christi Iesu omnibus sanctis in Christo Iesu,qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconis: |
| 2 Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. | 2 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patrenostro et Domino Iesu Christo. |
| 3 I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you, | 3 Gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri, |
| 4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy; | 4 semper in omni oratione mea pro omnibus vobis cum gaudio deprecationem faciens |
| 5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now. | 5 super communione vestra in evangelio a prima die usque nunc; |
| 6 Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus. | 6 confidens hocipsum, quia, qui coepit in vobis opus bonum, perficiet usque in diem ChristiIesu; |
| 7 As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. | 7 sicut est mihi iustum hoc sentire pro omnibus vobis, eo quod habeam incorde vos et in vinculis meis et in defensione et confirmatione evangelii sociosgratiae meae omnes vos esse. |
| 8 For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. | 8 Testis enim mihi Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vosin visceribus Christi Iesu. |
| 9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding: | 9 Et hoc oro, ut caritas vestra magis ac magisabundet in scientia et omni sensu, |
| 10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ, | 10 ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri etsine offensa in diem Christi, |
| 11 Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. | 11 repleti fructu iustitiae, qui est per IesumChristum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.
|
| 12 Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel: | 12 Scire autem vos volo, fratres, quia, quae circa me sunt, magis ad profectumvenerunt evangelii, |
| 13 So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places; | 13 ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omnipraetorio et in ceteris omnibus; |
| 14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear. | 14 et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentesvinculis meis, abundantius audere sine timore verbum loqui. |
| 15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ. | 15 Quidam quidem etpropter invidiam et contentionem, quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatemChristum praedicant; |
| 16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. | 16 hi quidem ex caritate scientes quoniam in defensionemevangelii positus sum, |
| 17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands. | 17 illi autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant, nonsincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis. |
| 18 But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. | 18 Quid enim? Dumomni modo, sive sub obtentu sive in veritate, Christus annuntietur, et in hocgaudeo; sed et gaudebo, |
| 19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, | 19 scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet in salutem pervestram orationem et subministrationem Spiritus Iesu Christi, |
| 20 According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death. | 20 secundumexspectationem et spem meam quia in nullo confundar, sed in omni fiducia, sicutsemper et nunc, magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo, sive per vitam sive permortem.
|
| 21 For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain. | 21 Mihi enim vivere Christus est et mori lucrum. |
| 22 And if to live in the flesh, that is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not. | 22 Quod si vivere in carne, hicmihi fructus operis est, et quid eligam ignoro. |
| 23 But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better. | 23 Coartor autem ex his duobus:desiderium habens dissolvi et cum Christo esse, multo magis melius; |
| 24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you. | 24 permanereautem in carne, magis necessarium est propter vos. |
| 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: | 25 Et hoc confidens, scioquia manebo et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum et gaudium fidei, |
| 26 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. | 26 ut gloriatio vestra abundet in Christo Iesu in me, per meum adventum iterum advos.
|
| 27 Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. | 27 Tantum digne evangelio Christi conversamini, ut sive cum venero et viderovos, sive absens audiam de vobis quia statis in uno Spiritu unanimes,concertantes fide evangelii; |
| 28 And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God: | 28 et in nullo perterriti ab adversariis, quod estillis indicium perditionis, vobis autem salutis, et hoc a Deo; |
| 29 For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him. | 29 quia vobis hocdonatum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credatis, sed ut etiam pro illopatiamini |
| 30 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me. | 30 idem certamen habentes, quale vidistis in me et nunc auditis in me.
