Philippians 1

King James Version KJV

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

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

3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

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

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

6 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:

7 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

20 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.

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

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

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

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

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

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

27 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;

28 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.

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

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

1 Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons.

2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 I give thanks to my God upon my every remembrance of you,

4 always in my every prayer for all of you, making the prayer with joy,

5 because of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now,

6 convinced of this same [thing], that the one who began a good work in you will finish [it] until the day of Christ Jesus,

7 just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, [since] both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel all of you are sharers of grace with me.

8 For God [is] my witness, that I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

9 And this I pray: that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

10 so that you may approve what is superior, in order that you may be sincere and blameless in the day of Christ,

11 having been filled [with the] fruit of righteousness which [comes] through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that {my circumstances} have happened instead for the progress of the gospel,

13 so that my imprisonment in Christ has become known in the whole praetorium and to all the rest,

14 and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, dare [even] more to speak the word without fear.

15 Some even because of envy and strife preach Christ, but some also because of good will.

16 The latter [do so] from love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

17 The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction in my imprisonment.

18 {What is the result?} Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice. But also I will rejoice,

19 for I know that this will turn out to me for deliverance through your prayer and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20 according to my eager expectation and hope, that I will be put to shame in nothing, but with all boldness, even now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether through life or through death.

21 For to me to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.

22 But if [it is] to live in the flesh, this [is] fruitful work for me, and which I will prefer [I do] not know.

23 But I am hard pressed {between the two options}, having the desire to depart and to be with Christ, {for this is very much better}.

24 But to stay on in the flesh [is] more necessary for your sake.

25 And because I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,

26 so that [what] you can be proud of may increase in Christ Jesus because of me through my return again to you.

27 Only lead your lives in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent I hear {your circumstances}, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one soul contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,

28 and not letting yourselves be intimidated in anything by your opponents, which is a sign of destruction to them, but of your salvation, and this from God,

29 because to you has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on behalf of him,

30 having the same struggle which you saw in me and now hear about in me.
