| 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus the seruants of Iesus Christ, to all the Saints in Christ Iesus, which are at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons: |
| 1:2 | Grace be vnto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | I thanke my God vpon euery remembrance of you, |
| 1:4 | Alwayes in euery prayer of mine for you all making request, with ioy |
| 1:5 | For your felowship in the Gospel from the first day vntill now; |
| 1:6 | Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ: |
| 1:7 | Euen as it is meete for mee to thinke this of you all, because I haue you in my heart, in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. |
| 1:8 | For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment. |
| 1:10 | That ye may approue things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ. |
| 1:11 | Being filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and praise of God. |
| 1:12 | But I would yee should vnderstand brethren, that the things which happened vnto mee, haue fallen out rather vnto the furtherance of the Gospel. |
| 1:13 | So that my bonds in Christ, are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places. |
| 1:14 | And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident, by my bonds, are much more bold to speake the word without feare. |
| 1:15 | Some in deed preach Christ, euen of enuie and strife, and some also of good will. |
| 1:16 | The one preach Christ of contention, not syncerely, supposing to adde affliction to my bonds: |
| 1:17 | But the other of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospel. |
| 1:18 | What then? Notwithstanding euery way, whether in pretence, or in trueth: Christ is preached, and I therein doe reioyce, yea, and will reioyce. |
| 1:19 | For I know that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and the supplie of the spirit of Iesus Christ, |
| 1:20 | According to my earnest expectation, and my hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed: but that with all boldnes, as alwayes, so now also Christ shal be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. |
| 1:21 | For to me to liue is Christ, and to die is gaine. |
| 1:22 | But if I liue in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shal chuse, I wote not. |
| 1:23 | For I am in a strait betwixt two, hauing a desire to depart, & to bee with Christ, which is farre better. |
| 1:24 | Neuertheles, to abide in the flesh, is more needfull for you. |
| 1:25 | And hauing this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and ioy of faith, |
| 1:26 | That your reioycing may bee more abundant in Iesus Christ for me, by my comming to you againe. |
| 1:27 | Onely let your conuersation bee as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may heare of your affaires, that yee stand fast in one spirit, with one minde, striuing together for the faith of the Gospel, |
| 1:28 | And in nothing terrified by your aduersaries, which is to them an euident token of perdition: but to you of saluation, and that of God. |
| 1:29 | For vnto you it is giuen in the behalfe of Christ, not onely to beleeue on him, but also to suffer for his sake, |
| 1:30 | Hauing the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now heare to be in me. |
| 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus the seruauntes of Iesu Christ. Vnto all the sayntes in Iesu Christ, which are at Philippos, with the Bisshoppes and mynisters. |
| 1:2 | Grace be with you and peace from God oure father, and from the LORDE Iesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | I thanke my God, as oft as I remebre you |
| 1:4 | (which I allwayes do in all my prayers for you all, and praye with gladnesse) |
| 1:5 | because of youre fellishippe which ye haue in the Gospell from the first daye vnto now, |
| 1:6 | and am surely certified of this, yt he which hath begonne that good worke in you, shal go forth with it vntyll ye daye of Iesus Christ: |
| 1:7 | as it becommeth me to iudge of you all, because I haue you in my hert, as those that are partakers with me of grace in my bondes, in defendinge and stablyshinge of the Gospell. |
| 1:8 | For God is my recorde, how I loge after you all euen fro the very hert rote in Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | And for the same I praye, yt yor loue maye increace more & more in all maner of knowlege and in all experience, |
| 1:10 | yt ye maye proue what is best, that ye maye be pure, & soch as hurte no mans conscience, vnto the daye of Christ: |
| 1:11 | fylled with the frutes of righteousnes, which come by Iesus Christ vnto the glorye and prayse of God. |
| 1:12 | I wolde ye vnderstode brethren, that my busynes is happened vnto the greater furtheraunce of the Gospell, |
| 1:13 | so that my bondes in Christ are manifest thorow out all ye iudgmet hall, and in all other places: |
| 1:14 | In so moch that many brethren in the LORDE, are boldened thorow my bodes, and darre more largely speake the worde without feare. |
| 1:15 | Some (no doute) preach Christ of enuye and stryfe, but some of good wil. |
| 1:16 | The one parte preacheth Christ off stryfe and not purely, supposynge to adde more aduersite vnto my bondes. |
| 1:17 | The other parte of loue, for they knowe that I lye here for the defence of the Gospell. |
| 1:18 | What then? So that Christ be preached all maner of wayes (whether it be done by occasion or of true meaninge) I reioyce therin, and wil reioyce. |
| 1:19 | For I knowe that the same shal chaunce to my saluacion, thorow youre prayer and mynistrynge of the sprete of Iesu Christ, |
| 1:20 | as I loke for and hope, that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but yt with all cofidence (as allwayes in tymes past, eue so now) Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorow life or thorow death. |
| 1:21 | For Christ is to me life, & death is to me auautage. |
| 1:22 | But in as moch as to lyue in ye flesh is frutefull to me for the worke, I wote not what |
| 1:23 | I shal chose, for both these thinges lye harde vpon me. I desyre to be lowsed, & to be with Christ, which thinge were moch better (for me) |
| 1:24 | but to abyde in the flesh is more nedefull for you. |
| 1:25 | And this am I sure of, that I shal abyde, and contynue with you all, for the furtheraunce and ioye of youre faith, |
| 1:26 | that ye maye abundauntly reioyse in Christ Iesu thorow me, by my comynge to you agayne. |
| 1:27 | Onely let youre conuersacion be as it becommeth the Gospell of Christ, that whether I come & se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of you that ye cotynue in one sprete and one soule, labourynge (as we do) to mayntayne the faith of the Gospell, |
| 1:28 | and in nothinge fearinge youre aduersaries, which is to them a token off perdicion, but vnto you of saluacion, and that of God. |
| 1:29 | For vnto you it is geuen, not onely that ye shulde beleue on Christ, but also suffre for his sake, |
| 1:30 | and to haue euen the same fighte, which ye haue sene in me, and now heare of me. |
| 1:1 | Poul and Tymothe, seruauntis of Jhesu Crist, to alle the hooli men in Crist Jhesu, that ben at Filippis, with bischopis and dekenes, |
| 1:2 | grace and pees to you of God oure fadir, and of the Lord Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:3 | I do thankyngis to my God |
| 1:4 | in al mynde of you euere more in alle my preyeris for alle you with ioye, and |
| 1:5 | make a bisechyng on youre comynyng in the gospel of Crist, fro the firste day til nowe; |
| 1:6 | tristenynge this ilke thing, that he that bigan in you a good werk, schal perfourme it til in to the dai of Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:7 | As it is iust to me to feele this thing for alle you, for that Y haue you in herte, and in my boondis, and in defending and confermyng of the gospel, that alle ye be felowis of my ioye. |
| 1:8 | For God is a witnesse to me, hou Y coueyte alle you in the bowelis of Jhesu Crist. |
| 1:9 | And this thing Y preie, that youre charite be plenteuouse more and more in kunnyng, and in al wit; |
| 1:10 | that ye preue the betere thingis, that ye be clene and without offence in the dai of Crist; |
| 1:11 | fillid with the fruyt of riytwysnesse bi Jhesu Crist, in to the glory and the heriyng of God. |
| 1:12 | For, britheren, Y wole that ye wite, that the thingis that ben aboute me han comun more to the profit of the gospel, |
| 1:13 | so that my boondis weren maad knowun in Crist, in ech moot halle, and in alle other placis; |
| 1:14 | that mo of britheren tristinge in the Lord more plenteuously for my boondis, dursten without drede speke the word of God. |
| 1:15 | But summe for enuye and strijf, summe for good wille, prechen Crist; |
| 1:16 | and summe of charite, witinge that Y am put in the defense of the gospel. |
| 1:17 | But summe of strijf schewen Crist not cleneli, gessynge hem to reise tribulacioun to my boondis. |
| 1:18 | But what? the while on al maner, ethir bi occasioun, ethir bi treuthe, Crist is schewid; and in this thing Y haue ioye, but also Y schal haue ioye. |
| 1:19 | And Y woot, that this thing schal come to me in to heelthe bi youre preyer, and the vndurmynystring of the spirit of `Jhesu Crist, bi myn abidyng and hope. |
| 1:20 | For in no thing Y schal be schamed, but in al trist as euere more and now, Crist schal be magnefied in my bodi, ether bi lijf, ether bi deth. |
| 1:21 | For me to lyue is Crist, and to die is wynnyng. |
| 1:22 | That if to lyue in fleisch, is fruyt of werk to me, lo! what Y schal chese, Y knowe not. |
| 1:23 | But Y am constreyned of twei thingis, Y haue desire to be dissolued, and to be with Crist, it is myche more betere; but to dwelle in fleisch, |
| 1:24 | is nedeful for you. |
| 1:25 | And Y tristinge this thing, woot that Y schal dwelle, and perfitli dwelle to alle you, to youre profit and ioye of feith, |
| 1:26 | that youre thanking abounde in Crist Jhesu in me, bi my comyng eftsoone to you. |
| 1:27 | Oneli lyue ye worthili to the gospel of Crist, that whether whanne Y come and se you, ethir absent Y here of you, that ye stonden in o spirit of o wille, trauelinge togidere to the feith of the gospel. |
| 1:28 | And in no thing be ye aferd of aduersaries, which is to hem cause of perdicioun, |
| 1:29 | but to you cause of heelthe. And this thing is of God. For it is youun to you for Crist, that not oneli ye bileuen in hym, but also that ye suffren for hym; |
| 1:30 | hauynge the same strijf, which ye saien in me, and now ye han herd of me. |
