4 always, in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all, making supplication with joy? 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 on account of your fellowship for the Gospel, from the 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 having become persuaded of this very thing, that He Who began in you a good work will perfect it until the day of 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 even as it is right for me to think this in behalf of you all; because ye have me in your heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, all of you being partakers with me of the 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 witness, how I long for you all in the tender affections of Christ Jesus. 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 love may abound yet more and more in full knowledge and all discernment; 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 so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be pure and without offense to 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 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which is 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. filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
12 Now I wish you to know, brethren, that the things relating to me have resulted rather in the furtherance of 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 that my bonds became manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to all the rest; 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 that the greater part of the brethren, having become confident in the Lord by my bonds, are much more bold to 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 Some, indeed, preach Christ even because of envy and strife; and some also of good-will; 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, from love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the Gospel; 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 other proclaim Christ of contention, not sincerely, thinking to add tribulation to my bonds. 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? save that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is being proclaimed; and in this I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 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 this will turn out for my salvation, through your supplication and a supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ; 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 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I shall in nothing be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life, or through 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 to me to live is Christ, 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 But if it be to live in flesh, this is to me a fruit of labor; and what I shall choose I know 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 but I am constrained by the two; having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for it 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;
24 but to abide in flesh is more needful 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, having become assured of this, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 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 glorying may abound in Jesus Christ in me through my presence with you again. 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.

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 nothing terrified by the adversaries; which, indeed, to them is a token of destruction, but of your salvation, and this from 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 but to you it was granted as a favor in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but in His behalf to suffer also; 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 having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear of 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.
