1 Paul & Timotheus the seruauntes of Iesus Christ: To all the saintes in Christ Iesus, whiche are at Philippos, with the bisshops & deacons: Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons: Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
2 Grace be vnto you, and peace fro God our father, and from the Lorde Iesus Christ. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 I thanke my God, with all remembraunce of you, I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, I thank my God every time I remember you.
4 ( Alwayes in all my prayer for all you, makyng prayer with gladnesse,) always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy
5 For your felowship in the Gospell, fro the first day vntyll nowe. because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
6 And beyng perswaded of this same thyng, that he which hath begun good worke in you, wyll perfourme it vntyll the day of Iesus Christe, And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
7 As it becommeth me to iudge this of you al, because I haue you in my heart, and in my bondes, in the defence and confirmation of the Gospell, you all beyng partakers of my grace. It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me.
8 For God is my recorde howe greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christe. For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9 And this I pray, that your loue may abounde yet more and more in knowledge, and in all vnderstandyng: And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
10 That ye maye discerne thynges that differ, that ye maye be pure, and without offence, tyll the day of Christe. so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11 Beyng fylled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ, vnto the glorie and prayse of God. filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
12 But I woulde ye should vnderstande brethren, that the thinges which came vnto me, hath come rather vnto the furtheraunce of the Gospell: I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.
13 So that my bondes in Christe, are manifest, throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places. so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
14 And many of the brethren of the Lord, beyng incouraged through my bondes, dare more plentifully speake the word, without feare. And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.
15 Some preache Christe of enuie & strife, and some of good wyll. Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
16 The one preache Christe of strife, not sincerely, supposyng to adde more affliction to my bondes: The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
17 But the others of loue, knowing that I am set to the defence of the Gospell. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
18 What then? So that Christe be preached any maner of way, whether it be by pretence, or by trueth, I ioy therein, and wyll ioy. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice, But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
19 For I knowe that this shall turne to my saluation, through your prayer, and ministryng of the spirite of Iesus Christe, for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, for I know that through your prayers and God’s provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.
20 Accordyng to my expectation, and my hope, yt in nothyng I shalbe ashamed: but yt with all boldnesse, as alwayes, so now also, Christ shalbe magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 For Christe is to me lyfe, and death is to me aduantage. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22 But if I lyue in the fleshe, this (is) the fruite of my labour, and what I shall chose, I wote not. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
23 For I am in a strayte betwixt two, hauyng a desire to be loosed, and to be with Christ, which is much farre better. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;
24 Neuerthelesse, to abyde in ye fleshe, is more needefull for you. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25 And this am I sure of, that I shall abyde & continue with you all, for your furtheraunce and ioy of fayth, Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 That your reioysyng may be ye more aboundaunt in Iesus Christe for me, by my commyng to you agayne. so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again. so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.
27 Only let your conuersation be, as it becommeth the Gospell of Christe: that whether I come and set you, or els be absent, I may yet heare of your matters, that ye continue in one spirite, in one soule, fyghtyng together for ye fayth of the Gospell. Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel
28 And in nothyng fearyng your aduersaries, which is to them a token of perdition: but to you of saluatio, and that of God. and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.
29 For vnto you it is geuen for Christe, not only this to beleue on hym: but also this, to suffer for his sake, For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,
30 Hauing the same fight, which ye sawe in me, and nowe heare in me. engaged in the same conflict that you saw I had and now hear that I still have. since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
