NLT

NIV

1 This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus. I am writing to all of God’s holy people in Philippi who belong to Christ Jesus, including the elders and deacons.
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons :
2 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God.
3 I thank my God every time I remember you.
4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy,
4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
5 for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
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 So it is right that I should feel as I do about all of you, for you have a special place in my heart. You share with me the special favor of God, both in my imprisonment and in defending and confirming the truth of the Good News.
7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
8 God knows how much I love you and long for you with the tender compassion of Christ Jesus.
8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
