[1]PaulG3972 andG2532 TimotheusG5095, the servantsG1401 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547, to allG3956 the saintsG40 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 which areG5607[G5752] atG1722 PhilippiG5375, withG4862 the bishopsG1985 andG2532 deaconsG1249:
[2]GraceG5485 be unto youG5213, andG2532 peaceG1515, fromG575 GodG2316 ourG2257 FatherG3962, andG2532 from the LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
[3]I thankG2168[G5719] myG3450 GodG2316 uponG1909 everyG3956 remembranceG3417 of youG5216,
[4]AlwaysG3842 inG1722 everyG3956 prayerG1162 of mineG3450 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956 makingG4160[G5734] requestG1162 withG3326 joyG5479,
[5]ForG1909 yourG5216 fellowshipG2842 inG1519 the gospelG2098 fromG575 the firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 nowG3568;
[6]Being confidentG3982[G5756] of thisG5124 very thingG846, thatG3754 he which hath begunG1728[G5666] a goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 will performG2005[G5692] it untilG891 the dayG2250 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547:
[7]Even asG2531 it isG2076[G5748] meetG1342 for meG1698 to thinkG5426[G5721] thisG5124 ofG5228 youG5216 allG3956, becauseG1223 I haveG2192[G5721] youG5209 inG1722 myG3165 heartG2588; inasmuch as bothG5037 inG1722 myG3450 bondsG1199, andG2532 in the defenceG627 andG2532 confirmationG951 of the gospelG2098, yeG5209 allG3956 areG5607[G5752] partakersG4791 of myG3450 graceG5485.
[8]ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076[G5748] myG3450 recordG3144, howG5613 greatly I long afterG1971[G5719] youG5209 allG3956 inG1722 the bowelsG4698 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547.
[9]AndG2532 thisG5124 I prayG4336[G5736], thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 may aboundG4052[G5725] yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 in allG3956 judgmentG144;
[10]ThatG1519 yeG5209 may approveG1381[G5721] things that are excellentG1308[G5723]; thatG2443 ye may beG5600[G5753] sincereG1506 andG2532 without offenceG677 tillG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547;
[11]Being filledG4137[G5772] with the fruitsG2590 of righteousnessG1343, whichG3588 are byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, untoG1519 the gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 of GodG2316.
[12]ButG1161 I wouldG1014[G5736] yeG5209 should understandG1097[G5721], brethrenG80, thatG3754 the things which happened untoG2596 meG1691 have fallen outG2064[G5754] ratherG3123 untoG1519 the furtheranceG4297 of the gospelG2098;
[13]So thatG5620 myG3450 bondsG1199 inG1722 ChristG5547 areG1096[G5635] manifestG5318 inG1722 allG3650 the palaceG4232, andG2532 in allG3956 other placesG3062;
[14]AndG2532 manyG4119 of the brethrenG80 inG1722 the LordG2962, waxing confidentG3982[G5756] by myG3450 bondsG1199, are much moreG4056 boldG5111[G5721] to speakG2980[G5721] the wordG3056 without fearG870.
[15]SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784[G5719] ChristG5547 evenG2532 ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 strifeG2054; andG1161 someG5100 alsoG2532 ofG1223 good willG2107:
[16]The oneG3303 preachG2605[G5719] ChristG5547 ofG1537 contentionG2052, notG3756 sincerelyG55, supposingG3633[G5740] to addG2018[G5721] afflictionG2347 to myG3450 bondsG1199:
[17]ButG1161 the other ofG1537 loveG26, knowingG1492[G5761] thatG3754 I am setG2749[G5736] forG1519 the defenceG627 of the gospelG2098.
[18]WhatG5101 thenG1063? notwithstandingG4133, everyG3956 wayG5158, whetherG1535 in pretenceG4392, orG1535 in truthG225, ChristG5547 is preachedG2605[G5743]; andG2532 IG5463 thereinG1722[G5129] do rejoiceG5463[G5719], yeaG235, andG2532 will rejoiceG5463.[G5690]
[19]ForG1063 I knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 thisG5124 shall turnG576[G5695] toG1519 myG3427 salvationG4991 throughG1223 yourG5216 prayerG1162, andG2532 the supplyG2024 of the SpiritG4151 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
[20]AccordingG2596 to myG3450 earnest expectationG603 andG2532 my hopeG1680, thatG3754 inG1722 nothingG3762 I shall be ashamedG153[G5701], butG235 that withG1722 allG3956 boldnessG3954, asG5613 alwaysG3842, so nowG3568 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 shall be magnifiedG3170[G5701] inG1722 myG3450 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 it be byG1223 lifeG2222, orG1535 byG1223 deathG2288.
[21]ForG1063 to meG1698 to liveG2198[G5721] is ChristG5547, andG2532 to dieG599[G5629] is gainG2771.
[22]ButG1161 ifG1487 I liveG2198[G5721] inG1722 the fleshG4561, thisG5124 is the fruitG2590 of my labourG2041[G3427]: yetG2532 whatG5101 I shall chooseG138[G5698] I wotG1107[G5719] notG3756.
[23]ForG1063 I am in a straitG4912[G5743] betwixtG1537 twoG1417, havingG2192[G5723] a desireG1939 toG1519 departG360[G5658], andG2532 to beG1511[G5750] withG4862 ChristG5547; which is farG4183[G3123] betterG2908:
[24]NeverthelessG1161 to abideG1961[G5721] inG1722 the fleshG4561 is more needfulG316 forG1223 youG5209.
[25]AndG2532 having thisG5124 confidenceG3982[G5756], I knowG1492[G5758] thatG3754 I shall abideG3306[G5692] andG2532 continueG4839[G5692] with youG5213 allG3956 forG1519 yourG5216 furtheranceG4297 andG2532 joyG5479 of faithG4102;
[26]ThatG2443 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745 may be more abundantG4052[G5725] inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1722 meG1698 byG1223 myG1699 comingG3952 toG4314 youG5209 againG3825.
[27]OnlyG3440 let your conversation beG4176[G5737] as it becomethG516 the gospelG2098 of ChristG5547: thatG2443 whetherG1535 I comeG2064[G5631] andG2532 seeG1492[G5631] youG5209, orG1535 else be absentG548[G5752], I may hearG191[G5661] of yourG5216 affairsG4012, thatG3754 ye stand fastG4739[G5719] inG1722 oneG1520 spiritG4151, with oneG3391 mindG5590 striving togetherG4866[G5723] for the faithG4102 of the gospelG2098;
[28]AndG2532 inG1722 nothingG3367[G3361] terrifiedG4426[G5746] byG5259 your adversariesG480[G5740]: whichG3748 isG2076[G5748] to themG846[G3303] an evident tokenG1732 of perditionG684, butG1161 to youG5213 of salvationG4991, andG2532 thatG5124 ofG575 GodG2316.
[29]ForG3754 unto youG5213 it is givenG5483[G5681] in the behalfG5228 of ChristG5547, notG3756 onlyG3440 to believeG4100[G5721] onG1519 himG846, butG235 alsoG2532 to sufferG3958[G5721] forG5228 G846his sakeG5228
[30]HavingG2192[G5723] the sameG846 conflictG73 whichG3634 ye sawG1492[G5628][G5625][G1492][G5627] inG1722 meG1698, andG2532 nowG3568 hearG191[G5719] to be inG1722 meG1698.
