¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.	¹ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, togetherwith their presiding elders and the deacons.
² Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.	² Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
³ I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you,	³ I thank my God whenever I think of you,
⁴ always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,	⁴ and every time I pray for you al , I always pray with joy
⁵ because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.	⁵ for your partnership in the gospel from the very first day up to the present.
⁶ I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.	⁶ I am quite confident that the One who began a good work in you wil go on completing it until the Day ofJesus Christ comes.
⁷ So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.	⁷ It is only right that I should feel like this towards you all, because you have a place in my heart, sinceyou have all shared together in the grace that has been mine, both my chains and my work defending andestablishing the gospel.
⁸ For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.	⁸ For God wil testify for me how much I long for you al with the warm longing of Christ Jesus;
⁹ And this I pray: that your charity may abound more and more, with knowledge and with all understanding,	⁹ it is my prayer that your love for one another may grow more and more with the knowledge andcomplete understanding
¹⁰ so that you may be confirmed in what is better, in order that you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ:	¹⁰ that will help you to come to true discernment, so that you wil be innocent and free of any trace of guiltwhen the Day of Christ comes,
¹¹ filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, in the glory and praise of God.	¹¹ entirely fil ed with the fruits of uprightness through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.
¹² Now, brothers, I want you to know that the things concerning me happened for the advancement of the Gospel,	¹² Now I want you to realise, brothers, that the circumstances of my present life are helping rather thanhindering the advance of the gospel.
¹³ in such a way that my chains have become manifest in Christ in every place of judgment and in all other such places.	¹³ My chains in Christ have become wel known not only to al the Praetorium, but to everybody else,
¹⁴ And many from among the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident through my chains, are now much bolder in speaking the Word of God without fear.	¹⁴ and so most of the brothers in the Lord have gained confidence from my chains and are getting moreand more daring in announcing the Message without any fear.
¹⁵ Certainly, some do so even because of envy and contention; and others, too, do so because of a good will to preach Christ.	¹⁵ It is true that some of them are preaching Christ out of malice and rivalry; but there are many as welwhose intentions are good;
¹⁶ Some act out of charity, knowing that I have been appointed for the defense of the Gospel.	¹⁶ some are doing it out of love, knowing that I remain firm in my defence of the gospel.
¹⁷ But others, out of contention, announce Christ insincerely, claiming that their difficulties lift them up to my chains.	¹⁷ There are others who are proclaiming Christ out of jealousy, not in sincerity but meaning to add to theweight of my chains.
¹⁸ But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice.	¹⁸ But what does it matter? Only that in both ways, whether with false motives or true, Christ isproclaimed, and for that I am happy;
¹⁹ For I know that this will bring me to salvation, through your prayers and under the ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,	¹⁹ and I shal go on being happy, too, because I know that this is what wil save me, with your prayers andwith the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;
²⁰ by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Instead, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.	²⁰ al in accordance with my most confident hope and trust that I shal never have to admit defeat, but withcomplete fearlessness I shall go on, so that now, as always, Christ wil be glorified in my body, whether by mylife or my death.
²¹ For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.	²¹ Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain.
²² And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.	²² On the other hand again, if to be alive in the body gives me an opportunity for fruitful work, I do notknow which I should choose.
²³ For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,	²³ I am caught in this dilemma: I want to be gone and to be with Christ, and this is by far the strongerdesire-
²⁴ but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.	²⁴ and yet for your sake to stay alive in this body is a more urgent need.
²⁵ And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith,	²⁵ This much I know for certain, that I shal stay and stand by you al , to encourage your advance andyour joy in the faith,
²⁶ so that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, through my return to you again.	²⁶ so that my return to be among you may increase to overflowing your pride in Jesus Christ on myaccount.
²⁷ Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.	²⁷ But you must always behave in a way that is worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come toyou and see for myself or whether I only hear al about you from a distance, I shall find that you are standing firmand united in spirit, battling, as a team with a single aim, for the faith of the gospel,
²⁸ And in nothing be terrified by the adversaries. For what is to them is an occasion of perdition, is to you an occasion of salvation, and this is from God.	²⁸ undismayed by any of your opponents. This will be a clear sign, for them that they are to be lost, andfor you that you are to be saved.
²⁹ For this has been given to you on behalf of Christ, not only so that you may believe in him, but even so that you may suffer with him,	²⁹ This comes from God, for you have been granted the privilege for Christ's sake not only of believing inhim but of suffering for him as wel ;
³⁰ engaging in the same struggle, of a kind which you also have seen in me, and which you now have heard from me.	³⁰ you are fighting the same battle which you saw me fighting for him and which you hear I am fightingstill.
