5 For your fellowship in the gospel, from the very first day until now, 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 Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun the good work among you, the same will continue it until the day of our LORD Jesus Christ: 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 And this is the right way for me to think of you all, because I have you in my heart, because through all my imprisonment and my defense and confirmation of the truth of the gospel, you have been partakers with me of 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.

8 For God is my witness of how much I love you through the love of Jesus Christ. 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.

10 So that you may choose the things that are excellent; and that you may be pure and without offence in the day of Christ; 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 And be filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and the praise 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 Now I would have you know this, my brethren, that my work has been greatly furthered by the gospel; 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 And the reasons for my imprisonments have been made manifest by Christ to all Cæsar’s court, and to all men. 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 in our LORD have grown confident by my imprisonment and, with increasing boldness, speak the word of God without fear. 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 While some of them preach only because of envy and strife; others preach Christ in good will and love: 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.

17 But those who preach Christ out of contention, do it not sincerely, but do it expecting to increase the hardship of my imprisonment. 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 And I have rejoiced and still do rejoice in this: that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. 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 know that through your prayers and the gift of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, all these things will ultimately turn out for my salvation, 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 Just as it is my earnest hope and expectation that in nothing shall I be ashamed, but that openly as always, so also now will Christ be magnified through my body, whether in life or 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 Christ is my life, and to die is gain. 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 Even if, in this life of the flesh, my labors bear fruits, I do not know what to choose. 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 drawn between two desires, the one to depart, that I may be with Christ, which is far 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;

26 So that when I come again to you, your rejoicing in Jesus Christ will abound through me. 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 conduct yourselves as becomes the gospel of Christ: so that whether I come and see you, or whether I am far away, I may hear of your good conduct, that you are standing firm in one spirit, and in one soul, and triumphing together through the faith of the gospel; 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 that in nothing are you terrified by our adversaries, whose conduct is the sign of their own destruction, but your salvation, and this is from God. and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God.

30 And that you may endure such trials as those which you have seen me in, and such as you now hear that I am in. 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.
