Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are being in Philippi, with [the] overseers and deacons:

Grace to you and peace from God Father of us and [the] Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank the God of me upon every the remembrance of you,

always in every supplication of me for all of you, with joy the supplication making

for the partnership of you in the gospel from the first day until now,

having been persuaded of [the] very thing this, that the [One] having begun in you a work good will complete [it] until [the] day of Christ Jesus.

Accordingly, it is right for me this to feel about all of you, since having I in the heart you; in both the chains of me, and in the defense and in confirmation of the gospel, fellow partakers with me of grace all you are.

Witness for my God how I long after all you in [the] affection of Christ Jesus.

And this I pray, that the love of you, yet more and more may abound in knowledge and in all discernment,

for to approve you the things being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto [the] day of Christ,

filled with [the] fruit of righteousness that [is] through Jesus Christ, to [the] glory and praise of God.

To know now you, I want, brothers, that the things concerning me, really to [the] advancement of the gospel have turned out,

so as for the chains of me clearly known in Christ to have become in all the palace guard, and to the rest all;

and most of the brothers, in [the] Lord already trusting by the chains of me, more abundantly to dare fearlessly the word to speak.

Some indeed even from envy and strife, some however also from goodwill Christ are proclaiming —

the [ones] indeed out of love, already knowing that for defense of the gospel I am appointed;

the [ones] however out of selfish ambition Christ are proclaiming, not purely, supposing tribulation to add to the chains of me.

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice.

I know for that this for me will turn out to deliverance through your prayer and [the] provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

according to the earnest expectation and hope of me that in nothing I will be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always also now, will be magnified Christ in the body of me, whether by life or by death.

To me for to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

If [I am] however to live in flesh, this for me [is the] fruit of labor. And what will I choose? Not I know!

I am pressed now between the two, the desire having for [myself] to depart and with Christ to be, very much for more better;

And this having been persuaded of, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy of the faith,

so that the boasting of you may abound to Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
