Book 50 Philippians 001:001 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ
Jesus: To all God's people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the
ministers of the Church and their assistants. 001:002 May grace and
peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
001:003 I thank my God at my every remembrance of you-- 001:004
always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, finding a joy in
offering it. 001:005 I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in
spreading the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until
now. 001:006 For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good
work within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day of
Jesus Christ. 001:007 And I am justified in having this confidence
about you all, because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand
up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, I have you in
my heart, sharers as you all are in the same grace as myself. 001:008
For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with tender
Christian affection. 001:009 And it is my prayer that your love may be
more and more accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception,
for testing things that differ, 001:010 so that you may be men of
transparent character, and may be blameless, in preparation for the day
of Christ, 001:011 being filled with these fruits of righteousness which
come through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God. 001:012
Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone through
has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News rather than
otherwise. 001:013 And thus it has become notorious among all the
Imperial Guards, and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I
am a prisoner; 001:014 and the greater part of the brethren, made
confident in the Lord through my imprisonment, now speak of God's

Message without fear, more boldly than ever. 001:015 Some indeed
actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness but there are
also others who do it from good will. 001:016 These latter preach Him
from love to me, knowing that I am here for the defence of the Good
News; 001:017 while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry,
and insincerely, supposing that by this they are embittering my
imprisonment. 001:018 What does it matter, however? In any case
Christ is preached-- either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I
rejoice, yes, and will rejoice. 001:019 For I know that it will result in
my salvation through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit
of Jesus Christ, 001:020 in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope
that I shall never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect
freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, either
by my life or by my death. 001:021 For, with me, to live is Christ and
to die is gain. 001:022 But since to live means a longer stay on earth,
that implies more labour for me--and not unsuccessful labour; and
which I am to choose I cannot tell. 001:023 I am in a dilemma, my
earnest desire being to depart and be with Christ, for that is far, far
better. 001:024 But for your sakes it is more important
