1:1  Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus being in Philippi, together-with the overseers and deacons:
1:2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1:3  I am giving-thanks to my God upon every remembrance of you,
1:4  always in my every petition for you all making the petition with joy
1:5  on-the-basis-of your partnership for the good-news from the first day until the present,
1:6  being confident-of this very thing: that the One having begun a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ—
1:7  just as it is right for me to think this about you all because of my having you in my heart, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the good-news, you all being my co-partners of grace.
1:8  For God is my witness how I am yearning-for you all with the deep-feelings of Christ Jesus.
1:9  And I am praying this: that your love may be abounding still more and more in knowledge and all perception
1:10  so that you may be approving the things mattering, in-order-that you might be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
1:11  having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
1:12  Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have come rather for the advancement of the good-news—
1:13  ... so that my imprisonment in Christ became visible in the whole Praetorium and to all the rest,
1:14  and so that the majority of the brothers, being confident in the Lord because-of my imprisonment, are more daring to fearlessly speak the word.
1:15  Some indeed speak because of envy and strife, but some also are proclaiming Christ because of good-will.
1:16  The ones speak out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the good-news;
1:17  but the others are proclaiming Christ out of selfish-interest, not purely, supposing to raise trouble in my imprisonment.
1:18  What indeed does it matter except that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed! And I am rejoicing in this. But I also will rejoice,
1:19  for I know that this will turn-out for me for deliverance through your prayer and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
1:20  in-accordance-with my eager-expectation and hope that I will in no way be put-to-shame, but that with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death—
1:21  for to me, the living is Christ, and the dying is gain.
1:22  Now if it is the living in the flesh, this for me means fruit from work. And I do not know what I shall choose,
1:23  but am gripped by the two— having the desire that I might depart and be with Christ, for that is better by much more,
1:24  but the remaining in the flesh is more-necessary for your sake.
1:25  And being confident-of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your advancement and joy of faith,
1:26  in order that your boast may be abounding in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again with you.
1:27  Only be conducting-yourselves worthily of the good-news of Christ in order that whether having come and seen you or being absent, I may be hearing-of the things concerning you— that you are standing-firm in one spirit, contending-together with one soul for the faith of the good-news,
1:28  and not being frightened in any way by the ones opposing you— which is a sign of destruction for them, but of your salvation, and this from God.
1:29  Because to you was granted the thing for Christ’s sake— not only the believing in Him, but also the suffering for His sake,
1:30  having the same struggle such as you saw in me and now are hearing to be in me.
