having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform it till a day of Jesus Christ,

and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,

for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ,

being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that is through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,

so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all,

and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:

For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,

and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,

that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.

Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,

and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;

fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus,

wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name,

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

and the proof of him ye know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;

and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.

seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to righteousness that is in law becoming blameless!

yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in him,

not having my righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that is of God by the faith,

Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;

and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear, and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be with you.

And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were caring, and lacked opportunity;

not that in respect of want I say it, for I did learn in the things in which I am -- to be content;

and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia, no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and receiving except ye only;

not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit that is overflowing to your account;
