DOUAI-RHEIMS	KING JAMES BIBLE
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 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 be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from 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 in every remembrance of you,	3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4 Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;	4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5 For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.	5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
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 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 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 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 after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.	8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:	9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10 That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto 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 justice, through Jesus Christ, unto 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 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 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 bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;	13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
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 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.	15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.	16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.	17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
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 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 shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of 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 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 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, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.	21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
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 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
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 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24 But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.	24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of 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 That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.	26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
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 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 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 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 unto you it is given for 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 Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.	30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
