50_PHP_01_01 Paul And Timotheus , the servants of Jesus Christ , to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi , with the bishops And deacons :
50_PHP_01_02 grace [ be ] unto you , And peace , from God our Father , And [ from ] the LORD Jesus Christ .
50_PHP_01_03 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you ,
50_PHP_01_04 always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy ,
50_PHP_01_05 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now ;
50_PHP_01_06 being confident of this very thing , that he which hath begun A good work in you will perform [ it ] until the day of Jesus Christ :
50_PHP_01_07 even as it Is meet for me to think this of you all , because I have you in my heart ; inasmuch as Both in my bonds , And in the defence And confirmation of the gospel , ye all are partakers of my grace .
50_PHP_01_08 for God Is my record , how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ .
50_PHP_01_09 And this I pray , that your love may abound yet more And more in knowledge And [ in ] all judgment ;
50_PHP_01_10 that ye may approve things that are excellent ; that ye may be sincere And without offence till the day of Christ ;
50_PHP_01_11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness , which are by Jesus Christ , unto the glory And praise of God .
50_PHP_01_12 but I would ye should understand , brethren , that the things [ which happened ] unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel ;
50_PHP_01_13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace , And in all other [ places ] ;
50_PHP_01_14 And Many of the brethren in the LORD , waxing confident by my bonds , are much more bold to speak the word without Fear .
50_PHP_01_15 some indeed preach Christ even of envy And strife ; And some also of good will :
50_PHP_01_16 the one preach Christ of contention , not sincerely , supposing to add affliction to my bonds :
50_PHP_01_17 but the other of love , knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel .
50_PHP_01_18 what Then ? Notwithstanding , every way , whether in pretence , or in truth , Christ Is preached ; And I therein do Rejoice , yea , And will Rejoice .
50_PHP_01_19 for I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer , And the supply of the spirit of Jesus Christ ,
50_PHP_01_20 according to my earnest expectation And [ my ] hope , that in nothing I shall be ashamed , but [ that ] with all boldness , as always , [ So ] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body , whether [ it be ] by life , or by death .
50_PHP_01_21 for to me to live [ Is ] Christ , And to die [ Is ] gain .
50_PHP_01_22 but if I live in the flesh , this [ Is ] the fruit of my labour : yet what I shall Choose I wot not .
50_PHP_01_23 for I am in A strait betwixt two , having A desire to Depart , And to be with Christ ; which Is far Better :
50_PHP_01_24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [ Is ] more needful for you .
50_PHP_01_25 And having this confidence , I know that I shall abide And continue with you all for your furtherance And joy of faith ;
50_PHP_01_26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again .
50_PHP_01_27 only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ : that whether I come And see you , or else be absent , I may hear of your affairs , that ye stand fast in one spirit , with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel ;
50_PHP_01_28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries : which Is to them an evident token of perdition , but to you of salvation , And that of God .
50_PHP_01_29 for unto you it Is given in the behalf of Christ , not only to believe on him , but also to suffer for his sake ;
50_PHP_01_30 having the same conflict which ye saw in me , And now hear [ to be ] in me .
