PHILIPPIANS
Chapter 1
Phil | ACV | 1:1 | Paul and Timothy, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the sanctified in Jesus Christ who are at Philippi, with the guardians and helpers: | |
Phil | ACV | 1:6 | Being confident of this same thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:7 | Just as it is right for me to think this about all of you, because I have you in my heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being partners with me of the grace. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:9 | And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment | |
Phil | ACV | 1:10 | for you to examine the things that are significant. So that ye may be tested by sunlight and not stumbling toward the day of Christ, | |
Phil | ACV | 1:11 | having been filled with fruits of righteousness, through Jesus Christ, for glory and praise of God. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:12 | But I want you to know, brothers, that the things in respect to me have come more for the advancement of the good news, | |
Phil | ACV | 1:13 | in order for my bonds in Christ to become apparent in the whole Praetorium, and in all the others. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:14 | And more of the brothers in the Lord have been convinced by my bonds to be much more bold to speak the word fearlessly. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:15 | Actually some even preach the Christ because of envy and strife, and some also because of good-will. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:16 | Some indeed proclaim the Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to bring affliction to my bonds. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:18 | What then? Except in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in this I rejoice, but also I will rejoice. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:19 | For I know that this will turn out to me for salvation (through your entreaty, and the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ) | |
Phil | ACV | 1:20 | according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be shamed in nothing. But with all boldness, now as always, Christ will also be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:22 | But if to live in flesh, this is fruit of labor to me, then what I will choose I know not. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:23 | And I am constrained by the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, being far better. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:25 | And having been convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and will continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:26 | So that your pride may abound in Christ Jesus in me because of my presence with you again. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:27 | Only be citizens worthy of the good news of the Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you or being absent, I may hear things about you that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the good news. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:28 | And not being frightened in anything by those who oppose, which is indeed a sign of destruction to them, but to you of salvation, and this from God. | |
Phil | ACV | 1:29 | Because to you it was granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, | |
