Philippians, 1

1. Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with their presiding elders and the deacons.

1. Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

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

2. Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord Jesus Christ.

3. I thank my God whenever I think of you,

3. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

4. and every time I pray for you all, I always pray with joy

4. Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,

5. for your partnership in the gospel from the very first day up to the present.

5. For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;

6. I am quite confident that the One who began a good work in you will go on completing it until the Day of Jesus Christ comes.

6. 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:

7. It is only right that I should feel like this towards you all, because you have a place in my heart, since you have all shared together in the grace that has been mine, both my chains and my work defending and establishing the gospel.

7. 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.

8. For God will testify for me how much I long for you all with the warm longing of Christ Jesus;

8. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9. it is my prayer that your love for one another may grow more and more with the knowledge and complete understanding

9. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;

10. that will help you to come to true discernment, so that you will be innocent and free of any trace of guilt when the Day of Christ comes,

10. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

11. entirely filled with the fruits of uprightness through Jesus Christ, for the glory and praise of God.

11. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12. Now I want you to realise, brothers, that the circumstances of my present life are helping rather than hindering the advance of the gospel.

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;

13. My chains in Christ have become well known not only to all the Praetorium, but to everybody else,

13. So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other [places];

14. and so most of the brothers in the Lord have gained confidence from my chains and are getting more and more daring in announcing the Message without any fear.

14. And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

15. It is true that some of them are preaching Christ out of malice and rivalry; but there are many as well whose intentions are good;

15. Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16. some are doing it out of love, knowing that I remain firm in my defence of the gospel.

16. The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17. There are others who are proclaiming Christ out of jealousy, not in sincerity but meaning to add to the weight of my chains.

17. But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18. But what does it matter? Only that in both ways, whether with false motives or true, Christ is proclaimed, and for that I am happy;

18. What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19. and I shall go on being happy, too, because I know that this is what will save me, with your prayers and with the support of the Spirit of Jesus Christ;

19. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20. all in accordance with my most confident hope and trust that I shall never have to admit defeat, but with complete fearlessness I shall go on, so that now, as always, Christ will be glorified in my body, whether by my life or my death.

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.

21. Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain.

21. For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

22. On the other hand again, if to be alive in the body gives me an opportunity for fruitful work, I do not know which I should choose.

22. But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

23. I am caught in this dilemma: I want to be gone and to be with Christ, and this is by far the stronger desire-

23. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:

24. and yet for your sake to stay alive in this body is a more urgent need.

24. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you.

25. This much I know for certain, that I shall stay and stand by you all, to encourage your advance and your joy in the faith,

25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;

26. so that my return to be among you may increase to overflowing your pride in Jesus Christ on my account.

26. That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

27. But you must always behave in a way that is worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come to you and see for myself or whether I only hear all about you from a distance, I shall find that you are standing firm and united in spirit, battling, as a team with a single aim, for the faith of the gospel.

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;

28. undismayed by any of your opponents. This will be a clear sign, for them that they are to be lost, and for you that you are to be saved.

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.

29. This comes from God, for you have been granted the privilege for Christ's sake not only of believing in him but of suffering for him as well;

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;

30. you are fighting the same battle which you saw me fighting for him and which you hear I am fighting still.

30. Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.

Philippians chapter 1 expresses Paul's love for the church in Philippi. How does the apostle maintain joy in the midst of adversity? This warm text reveals Paul's gratitude and prayers for the Philippians, his perspective on suffering, and his desire to glorify Christ. The apostle encourages believers to live in a way worthy of the gospel, facing opposition with courage. The chapter emphasizes joy in Christ, even in the most difficult circumstances. Philippians 1 sets the optimistic tone of the epistle. Consider with us five biblical passages that highlight the joyful themes of this inaugural chapter.

Romans 8:28: "We know that God works in all things for the good of those who love him, of those who have been called according to his purpose." - This verse echoes the theme of Philippians 1:12-14, where Paul sees his tribulations as a means to advance the gospel.

2 Corinthians 5:8: "We therefore have confidence and prefer to be absent from the body and dwell with the Lord." - This passage reflects Paul's dilemma in Philippians 1:21-23, whether to live for Christ or go to be with Him.

Ephesians 4:1: "As a prisoner in the Lord, I beseech you to live in a manner worthy of the calling you have received." - Paul makes a similar plea in Philippians 1:27, emphasizing a life worthy of the gospel.

1 Peter 3:14: "But even if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you will be happy. 'Do not fear what they fear, do not be frightened'." - This verse resonates with Philippians 1:28-30, where Paul encourages the Philippians not to fear opposition.

Colossians 1:9: "For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not stopped praying for you and asking that you be filled with the full knowledge of God's will, with all wisdom and spiritual understanding." - This prayer of Paul for the Colossians is similar to his prayer for the Philippians in Philippians 1:9-11.
