web - Philippians:1:12-30

web@Philippians:1:12 @Now I desire to have you know, brothers, {The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;

web@Philippians:1:13 @so that it became evident to the whole palace {or, praetorian} guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ;

web@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

web@Philippians:1:15 @Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

web@Philippians:1:16 @The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

web@Philippians:1:17 @but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

web@Philippians:1:18 @What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

web@Philippians:1:19 @For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

web@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

web@Philippians:1:21 @For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

web@Philippians:1:22 @But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't know what I will choose.

web@Philippians:1:23 @But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

web@Philippians:1:24 @Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

web@Philippians:1:25 @Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,

web@Philippians:1:26 @that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

web@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;

web@Philippians:1:28 @and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.

web@Philippians:1:29 @Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,

web@Philippians:1:30 @having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
