| 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants; |
| 1:2 | Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you, |
| 1:4 | always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication, |
| 1:5 | for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now, |
| 1:6 | having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform `it' till a day of Jesus Christ, |
| 1:7 | according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and `in' the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace. |
| 1:8 | For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ, |
| 1:9 | and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment, |
| 1:10 | for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ, |
| 1:11 | being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that `is' through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. |
| 1:12 | And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come, |
| 1:13 | so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all, |
| 1:14 | and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold -- fearlessly to speak the word. |
| 1:15 | Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ; |
| 1:16 | the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds, |
| 1:17 | and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set: |
| 1:18 | what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed -- and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice. |
| 1:19 | For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus, |
| 1:20 | according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death, |
| 1:21 | for to me to live `is' Christ, and to die gain. |
| 1:22 | And if to live in the flesh `is' to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not; |
| 1:23 | for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better, |
| 1:24 | and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account, |
| 1:25 | and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith, |
| 1:26 | that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you. |
| 1:27 | Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news, |
| 1:28 | and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God; |
| 1:29 | because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer; |
| 1:30 | the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me. |
| 1:1 | Paul and Timotheus the servauntes of Iesu Christ To all ye sainctes in Christ Iesu which are at Philippos with ye Bisshops and Deacons. |
| 1:2 | Grace be with you and peace from God oure father and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | I thanke my God with all remembraunce of you |
| 1:4 | all wayes in all my prayers for you and praye with gladnes |
| 1:5 | because of the fellowshyp which ye have in the gospell from the fyrst daye vnto now: |
| 1:6 | and am suerly certified of this that he which beganne a good worke in you shall go forthe with it vntyll the daye of Iesus Christ |
| 1:7 | as it becometh me so to iudge of you all because I have you in my herte and have you also every one companios of grace with me even in my bondes as I defende and stablysshe the gospell. |
| 1:8 | For God beareth me recorde how greatly I longe after you all from the very herte rote in Iesus Christ. |
| 1:9 | And this I praye yt youre love maye increace more and more in knowledge and in all fealinge |
| 1:10 | that ye myght accepte thinges most excellent that ye myght be pure and soche as shuld hurte no manes conscience vntyll the daye of Christ |
| 1:11 | filled with the frutes of rightewesnes which frutes come by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and laude of God. |
| 1:12 | I wolde ye vnderstode brethern that my busynes is happened vnto the greater furtherynge of the gospell. |
| 1:13 | So that my bondes in Christ are manyfest thorow out all the iudgement hall and in all other places: |
| 1:14 | In so moche that many of the brethre in ye lorde are boldned thorow my bodes and dare more largely speake the worde with out feare. |
| 1:15 | Some ther are which preache Christ of envie and stryfe and some of good wyll. |
| 1:16 | The one parte preacheth Christ of stryfe and not purely supposinge to adde more adversitie to my bondes. |
| 1:17 | The other parte of love because they se that I am set to defend the gospell. |
| 1:18 | What then? So that Christ be preached all maner wayes whether it be by occasion or of true meaninge I therin ioye: ye and will ioye. |
| 1:19 | For I knowe that this shall chaunce to my salvacion thorow youre prayer and ministringe of the sprete of Iesu Christ |
| 1:20 | as I hertely loke for and hope that in nothinge I shalbe ashamed: but that with all confidence as all wayes in tymes past even so now Christ shalbe magnified in my body whether it be thorowe lyfe or els deeth. |
| 1:21 | For Christ is to me lyfe and deeth is to me a vauntage. |
| 1:22 | Yf it chaunce me to live in the flesshe that is to me frutefull forto worke and what to chose I wote not. |
| 1:23 | I am constrayned of two thinges: I desyre to be lowsed and to be with Christ which thinge is best of all. |
| 1:24 | Neverthelesse to abyde in the flesshe is moare nedfull for you. |
| 1:25 | And this am I sure of that I shall abyde and with you all continue for the furtheraunce and ioye of youre fayth |
| 1:26 | that ye maye moare aboundantly reioyce in Iesus Christ thorowe me by my comminge to you agayne. |
| 1:27 | Only let yovre conversacion be as it be cometh the gospell of Christ: that whether I come and se you or els be absent I maye yet heare of you that ye contynue in one sprete and in one soule labouringe as we do to mayntayne the fayth of the gospell |
| 1:28 | and in nothynge fearinge youre adversaries: which is to them a token of perdicion and to you of salvacion and that of God. |
| 1:29 | For vnto you it is geven that not only ye shulde beleve on Christ: but also suffre for his sake |
| 1:30 | and have eve the same fight which ye sawe me have and now heare of 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. |
