Philippians 1

New Century Version NCV

1 From Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus. To all of God's holy people in Christ Jesus who live in Philippi, including your elders and deacons:

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

3 I thank my God every time I remember you,

4 always praying with joy for all of you.

5 I thank God for the help you gave me while I preached the Good News -- help you gave from the first day you believed until now.

6 God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.

7 And I know that I am right to think like this about all of you, because I have you in my heart. All of you share in God's grace with me while I am in prison and while I am defending and proving the truth of the Good News.

8 God knows that I want to see you very much, because I love all of you with the love of Christ Jesus.

9 This is my prayer for you: that your love will grow more and more; that you will have knowledge and understanding with your love;

10 that you will see the difference between good and bad and will choose the good; that you will be pure and without wrong for the coming of Christ;

11 that you will do many good things with the help of Christ to bring glory and praise to God.

12 I want you brothers and sistersn to know that what has happened to me has helped to spread the Good News.

13 All the palace guards and everyone else knows that I am in prison because I am a believer in Christ.

14 Because I am in prison, most of the believers have become more bold in Christ and are not afraid to speak the word of God.

15 It is true that some preach about Christ because they are jealous and ambitious, but others preach about Christ because they want to help.

16 They preach because they have love, and they know that God gave me the work of defending the Good News.

17 But the others preach about Christ for selfish and wrong reasons, wanting to make trouble for me in prison.

18 But it doesn't matter. The important thing is that in every way, whether for right or wrong reasons, they are preaching about Christ. So I am happy, and I will continue to be happy.

19 Because you are praying for me and the Spirit of Jesus Christ is helping me, I know this trouble will bring my freedom.

20 I expect and hope that I will not fail Christ in anything but that I will have the courage now, as always, to show the greatness of Christ in my life here on earth, whether I live or die.

21 To me the only important thing about living is Christ, and dying would be profit for me.

22 If I continue living in my body, I will be able to work for the Lord. I do not know what to choose -- living or dying.

23 It is hard to choose between the two. I want to leave this life and be with Christ, which is much better,

24 but you need me here in my body.

25 Since I am sure of this, I know I will stay with you to help you grow and have joy in your faith.

26 You will be very happy in Christ Jesus when I am with you again.

27 Only one thing concerns me: Be sure that you live in a way that brings honor to the Good News of Christ. Then whether I come and visit you or am away from you, I will hear that you are standing strong with one purpose, that you work together as one for the faith of the Good News,

28 and that you are not afraid of those who are against you. All of this is proof that your enemies will be destroyed but that you will be saved by God.

29 God gave you the honor not only of believing in Christ but also of suffering for him, both of which bring glory to Christ.

30 When I was with you, you saw the struggles I had, and you hear about the struggles I am having now. You yourselves are having the same kind of struggles.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Paulus et Timotheus servi Iesu Christi omnibus sanctis in Christo Iesu qui sunt Philippis cum episcopis et diaconis

2 gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre nostro et Domino Iesu Christo

3 gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri

4 semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis cum gaudio deprecationem faciens

5 super communicatione vestra in evangelio a prima die usque nunc

6 confidens hoc ipsum quia qui coepit in vobis opus bonum perficiet usque in diem Christi Iesu

7 sicut est mihi iustum hoc sentire pro omnibus vobis eo quod habeam in corde vos et in vinculis meis et in defensione et confirmatione evangelii socios gaudii mei omnes vos esse

8 testis enim mihi est Deus quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Christi Iesu

9 et hoc oro ut caritas vestra magis ac magis abundet in scientia et omni sensu

10 ut probetis potiora ut sitis sinceres et sine offensa in diem Christi

11 repleti fructu iustitiae per Christum Iesum in gloriam et laudem Dei

12 scire autem vos volo fratres quia quae circa me sunt magis ad profectum venerunt evangelii

13 ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni praetorio et in ceteris omnibus

14 et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentes vinculis meis abundantius audere sine timore verbum Dei loqui

15 quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum praedicant

16 quidam ex caritate scientes quoniam in defensionem evangelii positus sum

17 quidam autem ex contentione Christum adnuntiant non sincere existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis

18 quid enim dum omni modo sive per occasionem sive per veritatem Christus adnuntiatur et in hoc gaudeo sed et gaudebo

19 scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet in salutem per vestram orationem et subministrationem Spiritus Iesu Christi

20 secundum expectationem et spem meam quia in nullo confundar sed in omni fiducia sicut semper et nunc magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo sive per vitam sive per mortem

21 mihi enim vivere Christus est et mori lucrum

22 quod si vivere in carne hic mihi fructus operis est et quid eligam ignoro

23 coartor autem e duobus desiderium habens dissolvi et cum Christo esse multo magis melius

24 permanere autem in carne magis necessarium est propter vos

25 et hoc confidens scio quia manebo et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum et gaudium fidei

26 ut gratulatio vestra abundet in Christo Iesu in me per meum adventum iterum ad vos

27 tantum digne evangelio Christi conversamini ut sive cum venero et videro vos sive absens audiam de vobis quia stetistis uno spiritu unianimes conlaborantes fide evangelii

28 et in nullo terreamini ab adversariis quae est illis causa perditionis vobis autem salutis et hoc a Deo

29 quia vobis donatum est pro Christo non solum ut in eum credatis sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini

30 eundem certamen habentes qualem et vidistis in me et nunc audistis de me
