- Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,
- To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi,
- together with the overseers and deacons:
- 2
- Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
- Thanksgiving and Prayer
- 3
- I thank my God every time I remember you.
- 4
- In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
- 5
- because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
- 6
- being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you
- will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
- 7
- It is right for me to feel this way about all of you,
- since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains
- or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.
- 8
- God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
- 9
- And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more
- in knowledge and depth of insight,
- 10
- so that you may be able to discern what is best
- and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ,
- 11
- filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--
- to the glory and praise of God.
- Paul's Chains Advance the Gospel
- 12
- Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me
- has really served to advance the gospel.
- 13
- As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard
- and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
- 14
- Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been
- encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.
- 15
- It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
- 16
- The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
- 17
- The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely,
- supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
- 18
- But what does it matter?
- The important thing is that in every way,
- whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached.
- And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
- 19
- for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit
- of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.
- 20
- I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed,
- but will have sufficient courage so that now as always
- Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
- 21
- For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
- 22
- If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me.
- Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
- 23
- I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
- 24
- but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
- 25
- Convinced of this, I know that I will remain,
- and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
- 26
- so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus
- will overflow on account of me.
- 27
- Whatever happens, 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 as one man for the faith of the gospel
- 28
- without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you.
- This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed,
- but that you will be saved--and that by God.
- 29
- For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ
- not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him,
- 30
- since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had,
- and now hear that I still have.
