Philippians 1:12-26

Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha TMBA

12 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which have happened unto me have turned out 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 bolder to speak the Word without fear.

15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

16 The one preaches Christ out of contention and not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds;

17 but the other out of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel.

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

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

20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope that in nothing shall I 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 labor; yet what I shall choose, I know not.

23 For I am in a strait between the 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 in faith,

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

New International Version NIV

12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.

13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.

15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.

17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,

19 for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.

20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!

23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

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

26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
