Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus:

To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons.

Philippians 1:2

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:3

I give thanks to my God for every remembrance of you,

Philippians 1:4

always praying with joy for all of you in my every prayer,

Philippians 1:5

because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.

Philippians 1:6

I am sure of this, that He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:7

It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because I have you in my heart, and you are all partners with me in grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and establishment of the gospel.

Philippians 1:8

For God is my witness, how deeply I miss all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

Philippians 1:9

And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment,

Philippians 1:10

so that you can approve the things that are superior and can be pure and blameless in the day of Christ,

Philippians 1:11

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

Philippians 1:12

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has actually resulted in the advance of the gospel,

Philippians 1:13

so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard, and to everyone else, that my imprisonment is in the cause of Christ.

Philippians 1:14

Most of the brothers in the Lord have gained confidence from my imprisonment and dare even more to speak the message fearlessly.

Philippians 1:15

To be sure, some preach Christ out of envy and strife, but others out of good will.

Philippians 1:16

These do so out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;

Philippians 1:17

the others proclaim Christ out of rivalry, not sincerely, seeking to cause me anxiety in my imprisonment.

Philippians 1:18

What does it matter? Just that in every way, whether out of false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice

Philippians 1:19

because I know this will lead to my deliverance through your prayers and help from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:20

My eager expectation and hope is that I will not be ashamed about anything, but that now as always, with all boldness, Christ will be highly honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

Philippians 1:21

For me, living is Christ and dying is gain.

Philippians 1:22

Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.

Philippians 1:23

I am pressured by both. I have the desire to depart and be with Christ—which is far better

Philippians 1:24

but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you.

Philippians 1:27

Just one thing: Live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind, working side by side for the faith that comes from the gospel,

Philippians 1:28

not being frightened in any way by your opponents. This is a sign of destruction for them, but of your deliverance—and this is from God.

Philippians 1:29

For it has been given to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,

Philippians 1:30

having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.
