ABP - Philippians - 1

1:1  Paul and Timothy, bondmen of Jesus Christ, to all the holy ones in Christ Jesus, to the ones being in Philippi, with the overseers and servants.

1:2  Favor to you and peace from God our father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1:3  I give thanks to my God for [4all 1the 2memory 3of you],

1:4  at all times in every supplication of mine for all of you, [3with 4joy 2supplication 1making],

1:5  for your fellowship in the good news from the first day until the present;

1:6  being persuaded in this same thing, that the one commencing in you [2work 1a good], will complete it as far as the day of Jesus Christ;

1:7  as is just for me to think this as to you all, because of [2having 3me 4in 5your heart 1you], both in my bonds, and in the defense and security of the good news, [4fellow-partakers 5of my 6favor 2all 1you 3being].

1:8  [5witness 1For 4my 3is 2God], how I long after you all in feelings of compassion of Jesus Christ.

1:9  And this I pray, that the love of yours still more and more should abound in full knowledge, and in all perception,

1:10  for you to approve the things differing, that you might be honest and without cause to stumble in the day of Christ,

1:11  being filled with fruits of righteousness, of the ones by Jesus Christ, to glory and praise of God.

1:12  [4to know 1But 3you 2I want], brethren, that the things concerning me rather in progression of the good news have come,

1:13  so as my bonds [2apparent 3in 4Christ 1to become] in the whole praetorium, and to all the rest;

1:14  and the more of the brethren [2in 3the Lord 1relying], [3in my bonds 2more exceedingly 1dare] [4fearlessly 2the 3word 1to speak].

1:15  Some indeed also through envy and strife; but some also through good-pleasure [2the 3Christ 1proclaim].

1:16  The ones indeed from out of contention [2the 3Christ 1announce], not purely, imagining [2affliction 1to add] to my bonds.

1:17  But the ones from out of love, knowing that for a defense of the good news I am situated.

1:18  For what? Only in every manner, whether an excuse, whether truth, Christ is announced; and in this I rejoice, but, also I will rejoice.

1:19  For I know that this to me shall result in deliverance through your supplication, and the supplying of the spirit of Jesus Christ;

1:20  according to [2earnest expectation 3and 4hope 1my], that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in every open manner, as at all times, and now [2shall be magnified 1Christ] in my body, whether through life, whether through death.

1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die gain.

1:22  But if to live in flesh, this to me is fruit of work; and what I shall take up I know not.

1:23  But I am constrained by the two, [2the 3desire 1having] for disengaging, and [2with 3Christ 1to be 5much 4is rather] better;

1:24  but to remain in the flesh is more important for you.

1:25  And this being persuaded of, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all in your progression and joy of the belief;

1:26  that your boasting should abound in Christ Jesus in me through my arrival again with you.

1:27  Only [2worthily 3of the 4good news 5of the 6Christ 1conduct yourselves in public]! that whether having come and having seen you, or whether being absent, I should hear the things concerning you, that you stand firmly in one spirit, one soul, fighting together in the belief of the good news;

1:28  and not being terrified in anything by the ones being an adversary, which to them indeed is a demonstration of destruction, but to you deliverance -- and this from God.

1:29  For to you it was granted concerning Christ, not only the [2in 3him 1trusting], but also the [2for 3him 1suffering],

1:30  [2the 3same 4struggle 1having] as you saw in me, and now hear of by me.
