Philippians 1

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 From Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus - To all God's people in Philippi who are in union with Christ Jesus, including the church leaders and helpers:

2 May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.

3 I thank my God for you every time I think of you;

4 and every time I pray for you all, I pray with joy

5 because of the way in which you have helped me in the work of the gospel from the very first day until now.

6 And so I am sure that God, who began this good work in you, will carry it on until it is finished on the Day of Christ Jesus.

7 You are always in my heart! And so it is only right for me to feel as I do about you. For you have all shared with me in this privilege that God has given me, both now that I am in prison and also while I was free to defend the gospel and establish it firmly.

8 God is my witness that I tell the truth when I say that my deep feeling for you all comes from the heart of Christ Jesus himself.

9 I pray that your love will keep on growing more and more, together with true knowledge and perfect judgment,

10 so that you will be able to choose what is best. Then you will be free from all impurity and blame on the Day of Christ.

11 Your lives will be filled with the truly good qualities which only Jesus Christ can produce, for the glory and praise of God.

12 I want you to know, my friends, that the things that have happened to me have really helped the progress of the gospel.

13 As a result, the whole palace guard and all the others here know that I am in prison because I am a servant of Christ.

14 And my being in prison has given most of the believers more confidence in the Lord, so that they grow bolder all the time to preach the message fearlessly.

15 Of course some of them preach Christ because they are jealous and quarrelsome, but others from genuine good will.

16 These do so from love, because they know that God has given me the work of defending the gospel.

17 The others do not proclaim Christ sincerely, but from a spirit of selfish ambition; they think that they will make more trouble for me while I am in prison.

18 It does not matter! I am happy about it - just so Christ is preached in every way possible, whether from wrong or right motives. And I will continue to be happy,

19 because I know that by means of your prayers and the help which comes from the Spirit of Jesus Christ I shall be set free.

20 My deep desire and hope is that I shall never fail in my duty, but that at all times, and especially right now, I shall be full of courage, so that with my whole being I shall bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.

21 For what is life? To me, it is Christ. Death, then, will bring more.

22 But if by continuing to live I can do more worthwhile work, then I am not sure which I should choose.

23 I am pulled in two directions. I want very much to leave this life and be with Christ, which is a far better thing;

24 but for your sake it is much more important that I remain alive.

25 I am sure of this, and so I know that I will stay. I will stay on with you all, to add to your progress and joy in the faith,

26 so that when I am with you again, you will have even more reason to be proud of me in your life in union with Christ Jesus.

27 Now, the important thing is that your way of life should be as the gospel of Christ requires, so that, whether or not I am able to go and see you, I will hear that you are standing firm with one common purpose and that with only one desire you are fighting together for the faith of the gospel.

28 Don't be afraid of your enemies; always be courageous, and this will prove to them that they will lose and that you will win, because it is God who gives you the victory.

29 For you have been given the privilege of serving Christ, not only by believing in him, but also by suffering for him.

30 Now you can take part with me in the battle. It is the same battle you saw me fighting in the past, and as you hear, the one I am fighting still.
