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 1:2  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Phil ACV 1:4  always in my every entreaty for all of you, making the entreaty with joy
Phil ACV 1:5  for your participation in the good news from the first day until now.
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 1:8  For God is my witness, how I long for you all in bowels of Jesus Christ.
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 1:17  But some from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the good news.
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 1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
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 1:24  But to remain in the flesh is more necessary because of you.
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,
Phil ACV 1:30  having the same conflict such as ye saw in me, and now hear is in me.
