Philippians 1 📜 📕 ↷
Greetings from Paul and Timothy
1 PAUL and Timothee the servants of JESUS Christ; to all the saints in Christ JESUS that are at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons.📜💬📚
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and our Lord JESUS Christ.📜💬📚
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 I give thanks to my God in all memory of you📜💬📚
4 (always in all my prayers for all you, with joy making petition)📜💬📚
5 for your communicating in the Gospel of Christ from the first day until now.📜💬📚
6 trusting this same thing, that he which hath begun in you a good work, will perfit it unto the day of Christ JESUS.📜💬📚
7 As it is reason for me, this to think for all you, for that I have you in heart, & in my bands, and in the defense, and the confirmation of the Gospel, all you to be partakers of my joy.📜💬📚
8 For God is my witness, how I covet you all in the bowels of JESUS Christ.📜💬📚
9 And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge and in all understanding:📜💬📚
10 that you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,📜💬📚
11 replenished with the fruit of justice by JESUS Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.📜💬📚
Paul's Trials Advance the Gospel
12 And I will have you know, brethren, that the things about me are come to the more furtherance of the Gospel:📜💬📚
13 so that my bands were made manifest in Christ in all the court, and in all the rest,📜💬📚
14 that many of our brethren in our Lord, having confidence in my bands, were bold more aboundantly without fear to speak the word of God.📜💬📚
15 Some indeed even for envy and contention: but some also for good will preach Christ.📜💬📚
16 Some of charity: knowing that I am set unto the defence of the Gospel.📜💬📚
17 And some of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.📜💬📚
18 But what? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea & will rejoice.📜💬📚
19 For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation by your prayer and the subministration of the Spirit of JESUS Christ,📜💬📚
20 according to my expectation & hope; because in nothing shall I be confounded, but in all confidence as always, now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.📜💬📚
To Live Is Christ
21 For unto me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain.📜💬📚
22 And if to live in the flesh, this unto me be the fruit of the work, and what I shall choose I know not.📜💬📚
23 And I am straitened of the two: having desire to be dissolved & to be with Christ, a thing much more better.📜💬📚
24 But to abide in the flesh, necessary for you.📜💬📚
25 And trusting this, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, unto your furtherance and joy of the faith:📜💬📚
26 that your gratulation may abound in Christ JESUS in me, by my coming again to you.📜💬📚
Worthy of the Gospel
27 Only converse ye worthy of the Gospel of Christ: that whether when I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of you that you stand in one Spirit, of one mind labouring together to the faith of the Gospel.📜💬📚
28 And in nothing be ye terrified of the adversaries, which to them is cause of perdition: but to you of salvation, & this of God:📜💬📚
29 for to you it is given for Christ, not only that you believe in him, but also that you suffer for him,📜💬📚
30 having the same combat like as you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.📜💬📚
