Sha'ul�s Letter to the Philippians, Chapter 1
{1:1} Sha'ul and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah;
To all the holy ones in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the
overseers and [1>]shammashim[<1]:
{1:2} Grace to you, and shalom 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 fellowship 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, inasmuch as, 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, brothers, that the things
which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the
Good News; {1:13} so that my bonds became revealed in Messiah
throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest; {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 preach Messiah even out of envy and strife, and
some also out of good will. {1:16} The former preach Messiah from
selfish ambition, not sincerely, 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 put to shame, 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 to live in the flesh, this will bring fruit from
my work; then I don't make known 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 manner 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.
