1Paul and Timothy,

servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the

Or, overseers

bishops and deacons:

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

3I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,

4always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,

5for your fellowship in furtherance of the

⁎

Greek good tidings: and so elsewhere. See marginal note on Mt. 4:23.

gospel from the first day until now;

6being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

7even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because

⁎

Or, ye have me in your heart

I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the

⁎

Greek good tidings. See verse 5.

gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.

8For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;

10so that ye may

⁎

Or, distinguish the things that differ

approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

11being filled with the

⁎

Greek fruit.

fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the

⁎

Greek good tidings. See verse 5.

gospel;

13so that my bonds became manifest in Christ

⁎

Greek in the whole Praetorium.

throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;

14and that most of the brethren in the Lord,

⁎

Greek trusting in my bonds.

being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

⁎

Or, they that are moved by love do it, knowing etc.

the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the

⁎

Greek good tidings. See verse 5.

gospel;

⁎

Or, but they that are factious proclaim Christ, not etc.

but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.

18What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

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

20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

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

⁎

Or, But if to live in the flesh be my lot, this is the fruit of my work: and what I shall choose I know not.

But if to live in the flesh,—if

⁎

Greek this is for me fruit of work.

this shall bring fruit from my work, then

⁎

Or, what shall I choose?

what I shall choose I know not.

23But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

24yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy

⁎

Or, of faith

in the faith;

26that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

27Only

Greek behave as citizens worthily. Compare 3:20.

let your manner of life be worthy of the

gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving

for the faith of the

Greek good tidings. See verse 5.

gospel;

28and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;

29because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

30having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
