Paul's Letter to the Philippians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Paul and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah;
To all the holy ones in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the
overseers and [1>]servants[<1]: {1:2} Grace to you, and peace from
God, our Father, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah. {1:3} I thank my God
whenever I remember you, {1:4} always in every request of mine on
behalf of you all making my requests with joy, {1:5} for your
[2>]partnership[<2] in furtherance of the Good News from the first day
until now; {1:6} being confident of this very thing, that he who began
a good work in you will complete it until the day of Yeshua the
Messiah. {1:7} It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of
all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds
and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are
partakers with me of grace. {1:8} For God is my witness, how I long
after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua.
{1:9} This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in
knowledge and all discernment; {1:10} so that you may approve the
things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense
to the day of Messiah; {1:11} being filled with the fruits of
righteousness, which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and
praise of God.
{1:12} Now I desire to have you know, [3>]brothers,[<3] that the
things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of
the Good News; {1:13} so that it became evident to the whole
[4>]palace[<4] guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in
Messiah; {1:14} and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being
confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word
of God without fear. {1:15} Some indeed proclaim Messiah even out of
envy and strife, and some also out of good will. {1:16} The former
insincerely proclaim Messiah from selfish ambition, thinking that they
add affliction to my chains; {1:17} but the latter out of love,
knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
{1:18} What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in
pretense or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes,
and will rejoice. {1:19} For I know that this will turn out to my
salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of
Yeshua the Messiah, {1:20} according to my earnest expectation and
hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as
always, now also Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by
life, or by death. {1:21} For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is
gain. {1:22} But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from
my work; yet I don't know what I will choose. {1:23} But I am in a
dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with
Messiah, which is far better. {1:24} Yet, to remain in the flesh is
more needful for your sake. {1:25} Having this confidence, I know that
I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy
in the faith, {1:26} that your rejoicing may abound in Messiah Yeshua
in me through my presence with you again.
{1:27} Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of
Messiah, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of
your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving
for the faith of the Good News; {1:28} and in nothing frightened by
the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you
of salvation, and that from God. {1:29} Because it has been granted to
you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to
suffer on his behalf, {1:30} having the same conflict which you saw in
me, and now hear is in me.
