| 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. |

| 1:13 | So that my bandes in Christ, are manifeste thorowe out all the iudgement hall and in all other places: |
| 1:14 | In so moche that many of the brethren in the Lorde beynge encoraged thorowe my bandes, dare more boldly speake the worde without feare. |
| 1:15 | Some preache Chryst of enuie and stryfe, and some of good wyll, |
| 1:16 | The one parte preache Chryst of stryfe and not syncerely, supposynge to adde more aduersytie to my bandes. |

| 1:28 | and in nothinge fearynge youre aduersaryes, which is to them a cause of perdicyon, but to you of saluacyon, & that of God: |
| 1:29 | for vnto you it is geuen for Chryst, that not onely ye shulde beleue on hym: but also that ye shulde suffre for hys sake, |
| 1:30 | hauynge euen soche a fyght, as ye sawe in me, and nowe 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. |
