New American Bible	King James Bible
¹ Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and ministers:	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:
² grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.	² Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
³ I give thanks to my God at every remembrance of you,	³ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
⁴ praying always with joy in my every prayer for all of you,	⁴ Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
⁵ because of your partnership for the gospel from the first day until now.	⁵ For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
⁶ I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.	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:
⁷ It is right that I should think this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, you who are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.	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.
⁸ For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.	⁸ For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
⁹ And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception,	⁹ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
¹⁰ to discern what is of value, so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,	¹⁰ That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
¹¹ filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God.	¹¹ Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
¹² I want you to know, brothers, that my situation has turned out rather to advance the gospel,	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;
¹³ so that my imprisonment has become well known in Christ throughout the whole praetorium and to all the rest,	¹³ So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
¹⁴ and so that the majority of the brothers, having taken encouragement in the Lord from my imprisonment, dare more than ever to proclaim the word fearlessly.	¹⁴ And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
¹⁵ Of course, some preach Christ from envy and rivalry, others from good will.	¹⁵ Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
¹⁶ The latter act out of love, aware that I am here for the defense of the gospel;	¹⁶ The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
¹⁷ the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not from pure motives, thinking that they will cause me trouble in my imprisonment.	¹⁷ But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
¹⁸ What difference does it make, as long as in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed? And in that I rejoice. Indeed I shall continue to rejoice,	¹⁸ What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
¹⁹ for I know that this will result in deliverance for me through your prayers and support from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.	¹⁹ For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
²⁰ My eager expectation and hope is that I shall not be put to shame in any way, but that with all boldness, now as always, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.	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.
²¹ For to me life is Christ, and death is gain.	²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
²² If I go on living in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. And I do not know which I shall choose.	²² But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
²³ I am caught between the two. I long to depart this life and be with Christ, (for) that is far better.	²³ For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
²⁴ Yet that I remain (in) the flesh is more necessary for your benefit.	²⁴ Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
²⁵ And this I know with confidence, that I shall remain and continue in the service of all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,	²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
²⁶ so that your boasting in Christ Jesus may abound on account of me when I come to you again.	²⁶ That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
²⁷ Only, conduct yourselves in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear news of you, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind struggling together for the faith of the gospel,	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;
²⁸ not intimidated in any way by your opponents. This is proof to them of destruction, but of your salvation. And this is God's doing.	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.
²⁹ For to you has been granted, for the sake of Christ, not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him.	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;
³⁰ Yours is the same struggle as you saw in me and now hear about me.	³⁰ Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
