Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons

001:002

Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ

001:003

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you

001:004

Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy

001:005

For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now

001:006

Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ

001:007

Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace

001:008

For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ

001:009

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment

001:010

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ

001:011

Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God

001:012

But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel

001:013

So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places

001:014

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear

001:015

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will

001:016

The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds

001:017

But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel

001:018

What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice

001:019

For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ

001:020

According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death

001:021

For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain

001:022

But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not

001:023

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better

001:024

Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you

001:025

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith

001:026

That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again

001:027

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel

001:028

And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God

001:029

For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake

001:030

Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me
