| 1 | Paul and Timotheus the seruants of Iesus Christ, to all the Saints in Christ Iesus, which are at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons: |
| 2 | Grace be vnto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 3 | I thanke my God vpon euery remembrance of you, |
| 4 | Alwayes in euery prayer of mine for you all making request, with ioy |
| 5 | For your felowship in the Gospel from the first day vntill now; |
| 6 | Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ: |
| 7 | Euen as it is meete for mee to thinke this of you all, because I haue you in my heart, in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. |
| 8 | For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ. |
| 9 | And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment. |
| 10 | That ye may approue things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ. |
| 11 | Being filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and praise of God. |
| 12 | But I would yee should vnderstand brethren, that the things which happened vnto mee, haue fallen out rather vnto the furtherance of the Gospel. |
| 13 | So that my bonds in Christ, are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places. |
| 14 | And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident, by my bonds, are much more bold to speake the word without feare. |
| 15 | Some in deed preach Christ, euen of enuie and strife, and some also of good will. |
| 16 | The one preach Christ of contention, not syncerely, supposing to adde affliction to my bonds: |
| 17 | But the other of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospel. |
| 18 | What then? Notwithstanding euery way, whether in pretence, or in trueth: Christ is preached, and I therein doe reioyce, yea, and will reioyce. |
| 19 | For I know that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and the supplie of the spirit of Iesus Christ, |
| 20 | According to my earnest expectation, and my hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed: but that with all boldnes, as alwayes, so now also Christ shal be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. |
| 21 | For to me to liue is Christ, and to die is gaine. |
| 22 | But if I liue in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shal chuse, I wote not. |
| 23 | For I am in a strait betwixt two, hauing a desire to depart, & to bee with Christ, which is farre better. |
| 24 | Neuertheles, to abide in the flesh, is more needfull for you. |
| 25 | And hauing this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and ioy of faith, |
| 26 | That your reioycing may bee more abundant in Iesus Christ for me, by my comming to you againe. |
| 27 | Onely let your conuersation bee as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may heare of your affaires, that yee stand fast in one spirit, with one minde, striuing together for the faith of the Gospel, |
| 28 | And in nothing terrified by your aduersaries, which is to them an euident token of perdition: but to you of saluation, and that of God. |
| 29 | For vnto you it is giuen in the behalfe of Christ, not onely to beleeue on him, but also to suffer for his sake, |
| 30 | Hauing the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now heare to be in me. |
