Chapter 1
1Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
(Hebrew unavailable)
2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
3I thank my God every time I remember you.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
(Hebrew unavailable)
5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
(Hebrew unavailable)
6being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
(Hebrew unavailable)
9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
(Hebrew unavailable)
10so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
(Hebrew unavailable)
11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
12Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
(Hebrew unavailable)
13As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
(Hebrew unavailable)
16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
(Hebrew unavailable)
19because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
(Hebrew unavailable)
22But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
(Hebrew unavailable)
23I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
(Hebrew unavailable)
24But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
(Hebrew unavailable)
26so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
(Hebrew unavailable)
27Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel,
(Hebrew unavailable)
28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.
(Hebrew unavailable)
29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
(Hebrew unavailable)
30since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
(Hebrew unavailable)
