Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, - unto all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministers: -

Favour unto you, and peace, from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.

Being persuaded of this very thing - that, he who hath begun in you a good work, will perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ;

For God is, my witness, how I long for you all in the tender affections of Christ Jesus.

To the end ye may be putting to the test the things that differ, in order that ye may be incorrupt and may give no occasion of stumbling, unto the day of Christ,

Filled with that fruit of righteousness which is through Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God.

So that, my bonds, have become manifest in Christ, in the whole palace, and unto all the rest, -

Some, indeed, by reason of envy and strife - some, however, by reason of good will - are proclaiming, the Christ:

But, those, out of faction, are declaring, the Christ, not purely - supposing to rouse up, tribulation, with my bonds.

What then? That, in any way, whether in pretext, or in truth, Christ, is declared, and, in this, I rejoice - yea, and will rejoice!

For I know that, this, shall turn unto me for salvation - through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, -

According to my eager outlook and hope, that, in nothing, shall I be put to shame, but, with all freedom of speech, as always, now also, shall Christ be magnified in my body, whether through means of life, or of death.

For, unto me - living, is Christ, and, dying, gain.

But, if living in flesh, is Christ , this, unto me, is a fruit of work, - and, what I shall choose, I make not known:

I am held in constraint, however, by reason of the two, - having, the coveting, to be released, and to be with, Christ, for it were far better!

In order that, your matter of boasting, may be more abundant in Christ Jesus, regarding me, through my own presence again with you.

Only, in a manner worthy of the glad-message of the Christ, be using your citizenship; in order that - whether coming and seeing you, or being absent, I may hear of the things which concern you - that ye are standing fast in one spirit, with one soul, joining for the combat along with the faith of the glad-message;

Because, unto you, hath it been given as a favour, in behalf of Christ, not only, on him, to believe, but also, in his behalf, to suffer: -

If there be, therefore, any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tender affections and compassions,

The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, ye esteem , -

And, every tongue, might openly confess - that Jesus Christ is, Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

A word of light, holding forth, - as a matter of boasting unto me, for the day of Christ, - that, not in vain, I ran, nor, in vain, I toiled: -

For, they all, their own things, do seek, not the things of Christ Jesus;

For, we, are the circumcision, who in the Spirit of God, are doing divine service, and are boasting in Christ Jesus, and, not in flesh, having confidence, -

But, whatever things, unto me, were gain, the same, have I accounted, for the Christ's sake, loss;

Yea, doubtless! and I account all things to be, loss, because of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for the sake of whom, the loss, of all things, have I suffered, and do account them refuse, in order that, Christ, I may win,

And be found in him - not having a righteousness of my own, that which is by law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is, of God, upon my faith, -

Not that I have, already, received, or have, already, reached perfection, but I am pressing on - if I may even lay hold of that for which I have also been laid hold of by Christ Jesus: -

With the goal in view, I press on for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.

For, many, are walking - of whom I have often been telling you, and, now, even weeping, am telling, - the enemies of the cross of the Christ;

For, our citizenship, in the heavens, hath its rise; wherefore, a Saviour also, do we ardently await, - The Lord Jesus Christ, -

And, the peace of God, which riseth above every mind, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus.

And, my God, will fill up your every need, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me, salute you.

The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with your spirit.
