| 1:15 | Some there are whiche preache Christ of enuie and stryfe, and some of good wyll. |
| 1:16 | The one parte preacheth Christe of strife and not purelye supposinge to adde more aduersitye to my boundes. |
| 1:17 | The other parte of loue, because they se that I am set to defende the Gospell. |
| 1:18 | What then? So, that Christe be preached al maner wayes, whether it be by occasion, or of true meaninge, I therin ioye: ye & will ioye. |

| 1:21 | For Christe is to me lyfe, and death is to me auauntage. |
| 1:22 | Yf it chaunce me to lyue in the fleshe, that is to me frutefull for to worke, and what to chose |
| 1:23 | I wote not. I am constrayned of two thinges: I desire to be lowsed and to be wyth Christe, whiche thinge is best of all. |
| 1:24 | Neuerthelesse to abyde in the fleshe is more nedeful for you. |
| 1:25 | And thys am I sure of that I shall abyde, and wyth you all continue for the furtheraunce and ioye of your faith, |
| 1:26 | that ye may more aboundantly reioyce in Iesus Christe thorowe me, by my comminge to you again. |
| 1:27 | Onlye let your conuersation be as it becommeth the Gospell of Christ, that whether I come and se you, or els be absent, I maye yet heare of you, that ye continue in one spyrite, and in one soule, labouring as we do, to mayntayne the fayth of the Gospell, |
| 1:28 | and in nothing fearing your aduersaries: whiche is to them a token of perdicion, and to you of saluation, and that of God. |
| 1:29 | For vnto you it is geuen, that not onely ye should beleue on Christ, but also suffre for his sake, |
| 1:30 | and haue euen the same fyght, whiche ye sawe me haue and now heare of me. |
| 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons: |
| 1:2 | Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie, |
| 1:4 | (Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse) |
| 1:5 | Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe. |
| 1:6 | And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ, |
| 1:7 | As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace. |
| 1:8 | For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement, |
| 1:10 | That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ, |
| 1:11 | Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God. |
| 1:12 | I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell, |
| 1:13 | So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places, |
| 1:14 | In so much that many of the brethren in the Lord are boldened through my bandes, and dare more frankely speake the word. |
| 1:15 | Some preache. Christ euen through enuie and strife, and some also of good will. |
| 1:16 | The one part preacheth Christ of contention and not purely, supposing to adde more affliction to my bandes. |
| 1:17 | But the others of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospell. |
| 1:18 | What then? yet Christ is preached all maner wayes, whether it be vnder a pretence, or syncerely: and I therein ioye: yea and will ioye. |
| 1:19 | For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and by the helpe of the Spirit of Iesus Christ, |
| 1:20 | As I feruently looke for, and hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed, but that with all confidence, as alwayes, so nowe Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. |
| 1:21 | For Christ is to me both in life, and in death aduantage. |
| 1:22 | And whether to liue in the flesh were profitable for me, and what to chuse I knowe not. |
| 1:23 | For I am distressed betweene both, desiring to be loosed and to be with Christ, which is best of all. |
| 1:24 | Neuerthelesse, to abide in the flesh, is more needefull for you. |
| 1:25 | And this am I sure of, that I shall abide, and with you all continue, for your furtherance and ioy of your faith, |
| 1:26 | That ye may more aboundantly reioyce in IESVS CHRIST for me, by my comming to you againe. |
| 1:27 | Onely let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or els be absent, I may heare of your matters that ye continue in one Spirit, and in one mind, fighting together through the faith of the Gospel. |
| 1:28 | And in nothing feare your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition, and to you of saluation, and that of God. |
| 1:29 | For vnto you it is giuen for Christ, that not onely ye should beleeue in him, but also suffer for his sake, |
| 1:30 | Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare to be in me. |
| 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. |
