| [1]παῦλος καὶ τιμόθεος δοῦλοι χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ τοῖς οὗσιν ἐν φιλίπποις σὺν ἐπισκόποις καὶ διακόνοις· |
[1]PAUL and Timothy, servants of Jesus the Messiah, to all the saints that are in Jesus the Messiah at Philippi, with the elders and deacons. |
| [2]χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ κυρίου ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ. |
[2]Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus the Messiah. |
| [3]εὐχαριστῶ τῶ θεῶ μου ἐπὶ πάσῃ τῇ μνείᾳ ὑμῶν, |
[3]I thank my God at the constant recollection of you, |
| [4]πάντοτε ἐν πάσῃ δεήσει μου ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν μετὰ χαρᾶς τὴν δέησιν ποιούμενος, |
[4]in all my prayers respecting you; and while I rejoice, I adore; |
| [5]ἐπὶ τῇ κοινωνίᾳ ὑμῶν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀπὸ τῆς πρώτης ἡμέρας ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν, |
[5]on account of your fellowship in the gospel, from the first day until now. |
| [6]πεποιθὼς αὐτὸ τοῦτο, ὅτι ὁ ἐναρξάμενος ἐν ὑμῖν ἔργον ἀγαθὸν ἐπιτελέσει ἄχρι ἡμέρας χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ· |
[6]Because I am confident of this, that he who hath begun the good works in you, will accomplish them until the day of our Lord Jesus the Messiah. |
| [7]καθώς ἐστιν δίκαιον ἐμοὶ τοῦτο φρονεῖν ὑπὲρ πάντων ὑμῶν, διὰ τὸ ἔχειν με ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμᾶς, ἔν τε τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀπολογίᾳ καὶ βεβαιώσει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου συγκοινωνούς μου τῆς χάριτος πάντας ὑμᾶς ὄντας. |
[7]For thus it is right for me to think of you all, because ye are permanently in my heart, and because, both in my bonds and in the vindication of the truth of the gospel, ye are my associates in grace. |
| [8]μάρτυς γάρ μου ὁ θεός, ὡς ἐπιποθῶ πάντας ὑμᾶς ἐν σπλάγχνοις χριστοῦ ἰησοῦ. |
[8]For God is my witness, how I love you in the bowels of Jesus the Messiah. |
| [9]καὶ τοῦτο προσεύχομαι, ἵνα ἡ ἀγάπη ὑμῶν ἔτι μᾶλλον καὶ μᾶλλον περισσεύῃ ἐν ἐπιγνώσει καὶ πάσῃ αἰσθήσει, |
[9]And this I pray for, that your love may still increase and abound, in knowledge, and In all spiritual understanding: |
| [10]εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τὰ διαφέροντα, ἵνα ἦτε εἰλικρινεῖς καὶ ἀπρόσκοποι εἰς ἡμέραν χριστοῦ, |
[10]so that ye may discern the things that are suitable; and may be pure and without offence, in the day of the Messiah, |
| [11]πεπληρωμένοι καρπὸν δικαιοσύνης τὸν διὰ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ εἰς δόξαν καὶ ἔπαινον θεοῦ. |
[11]and be full of the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus the Messiah, to the praise and glory of God. |
| [12]γινώσκειν δὲ ὑμᾶς βούλομαι, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι τὰ κατ᾽ ἐμὲ μᾶλλον εἰς προκοπὴν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου ἐλήλυθεν, |
[12]And I would that ye might know, my brethren, that the transaction in regard to me, hath eventuated rather for the furtherance of the gospel; |
| [13]ὥστε τοὺς δεσμούς μου φανεροὺς ἐν χριστῶ γενέσθαι ἐν ὅλῳ τῶ πραιτωρίῳ καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς πάσιν, |
[13]so that my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others. |
| [14]καὶ τοὺς πλείονας τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἐν κυρίῳ πεποιθότας τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου περισσοτέρως τολμᾶν ἀφόβως τὸν λόγον λαλεῖν. |
[14]And many of the brethren in our Lord have become confident, on account of my bonds, and are more bold to speak the word of God without fear. |
| [15]τινὲς μὲν καὶ διὰ φθόνον καὶ ἔριν, τινὲς δὲ καὶ δι᾽ εὐδοκίαν τὸν χριστὸν κηρύσσουσιν· |
[15]And they herald [it], some from envy and contention; but others with good will, and with love for the Messiah; |
| [16]οἱ μὲν ἐξ ἀγάπης, εἰδότες ὅτι εἰς ἀπολογίαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου κεῖμαι, |
[16]because they know that I am appointed for the vindication of the gospel. |
| [17]οἱ δὲ ἐξ ἐριθείας τὸν χριστὸν καταγγέλλουσιν, οὐχ ἁγνῶς, οἰόμενοι θλῖψιν ἐγείρειν τοῖς δεσμοῖς μου. |
[17]And they who herald the Messiah in contention, do it not sincerely; but they hope to add pressure to my bonds. |
| [18]τί γάρ; πλὴν ὅτι παντὶ τρόπῳ, εἴτε προφάσει εἴτε ἀληθείᾳ, χριστὸς καταγγέλλεται, καὶ ἐν τούτῳ χαίρω· ἀλλὰ καὶ χαρήσομαι, |
[18]And in this I have rejoiced, and do rejoice, that in every form, whether in pretence or in truth, the Messiah is heralded. |
| [19]οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι τοῦτό μοι ἀποβήσεται εἰς σωτηρίαν διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν δεήσεως καὶ ἐπιχορηγίας τοῦ πνεύματος ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, |
[19]For I know, that these things will be found [conducive] to my life, through your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Jesus the Messiah. |
| [20]κατὰ τὴν ἀποκαραδοκίαν καὶ ἐλπίδα μου ὅτι ἐν οὐδενὶ αἰσχυνθήσομαι, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν πάσῃ παρρησίᾳ ὡς πάντοτε καὶ νῦν μεγαλυνθήσεται χριστὸς ἐν τῶ σώματί μου, εἴτε διὰ ζωῆς εἴτε διὰ θανάτου. |
[20]So that I hope and expect, that I shall in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. |
| [21]ἐμοὶ γὰρ τὸ ζῆν χριστὸς καὶ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν κέρδος. |
[21]For my life is, the Messiah; and if I die, it is gain to me. |
| [22]εἰ δὲ τὸ ζῆν ἐν σαρκί, τοῦτό μοι καρπὸς ἔργου· καὶ τί αἱρήσομαι οὐ γνωρίζω. |
[22]But if I have fruits of my labors in this life of the flesh, I know not what I shall choose. |
| [23]συνέχομαι δὲ ἐκ τῶν δύο, τὴν ἐπιθυμίαν ἔχων εἰς τὸ ἀναλῦσαι καὶ σὺν χριστῶ εἶναι, πολλῶ [γὰρ] μᾶλλον κρεῖσσον· |
[23]For the two press upon me: I desire to be liberated, that I may be with the Messiah; and this would be very advantageous to me. |
| [24]τὸ δὲ ἐπιμένειν [ἐν] τῇ σαρκὶ ἀναγκαιότερον δι᾽ ὑμᾶς. |
[24]But also the business in regard to you, urges upon me to remain in the body. |
| [25]καὶ τοῦτο πεποιθὼς οἶδα ὅτι μενῶ καὶ παραμενῶ πᾶσιν ὑμῖν εἰς τὴν ὑμῶν προκοπὴν καὶ χαρὰν τῆς πίστεως, |
[25]And this I confidently know, that I shall continue and remain, for your joy, and for the furtherance of your faith; |
| [26]ἵνα τὸ καύχημα ὑμῶν περισσεύῃ ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ ἐν ἐμοὶ διὰ τῆς ἐμῆς παρουσίας πάλιν πρὸς ὑμᾶς. |
[26]so that when I come again to you, your glorying, which is in Jesus the Messiah only, will abound through me. |
| [27]μόνον ἀξίως τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τοῦ χριστοῦ πολιτεύεσθε, ἵνα εἴτε ἐλθὼν καὶ ἰδὼν ὑμᾶς εἴτε ἀπὼν ἀκούω τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν, ὅτι στήκετε ἐν ἑνὶ πνεύματι, μιᾷ ψυχῇ συναθλοῦντες τῇ πίστει τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, |
[27]Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel. |
| [28]καὶ μὴ πτυρόμενοι ἐν μηδενὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ἀντικειμένων, ἥτις ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς ἔνδειξις ἀπωλείας, ὑμῶν δὲ σωτηρίας, καὶ τοῦτο ἀπὸ θεοῦ· |
[28]And in nothing be ye startled, by those who rise up against us; [which is] an indication of their destruction, and of life for you. |
| [29]ὅτι ὑμῖν ἐχαρίσθη τὸ ὑπὲρ χριστοῦ, οὐ μόνον τὸ εἰς αὐτὸν πιστεύειν ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ πάσχειν, |
[29]And this is given to you by God, that ye not only really believe in the Messiah, but also that ye suffer on his account; |
| [30]τὸν αὐτὸν ἀγῶνα ἔχοντες οἷον εἴδετε ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ νῦν ἀκούετε ἐν ἐμοί. |
[30]and that ye endure conflict, as ye have seen in me, and now hear concerning me. |
