web @Philippians:1:1 @Paul and Timothy , servants of Jesus Christ ; To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi , with the overseers {or , superintendents , or bishops } and servants {Or , deacons }: web @Philippians:1:2 @Grace to you , and peace from God , our Father , and the Lord Jesus Christ . web @Philippians:1:3 @I thank my God whenever I remember you , web @Philippians:1:4 @always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy , web @Philippians:1:5 @for your partnership {The word translated "partnership " (koinonia ) also means "fellowship " and "sharing ."} in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now ; web @Philippians:1:6 @being confident of this very thing , that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ . web @Philippians:1:7 @It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you , because I have you in my heart , because , both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News , you all are partakers with me of grace . web @Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness , how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus . web @Philippians:1:9 @This I pray , that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment ; web @Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent ; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ ; web @Philippians:1:11 @being filled with the fruits of righteousness , which are through Jesus Christ , to the glory and praise of God . 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 .
