Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:1 - Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:2 - Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:3 - I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:4 - always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:5 - for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:6 - being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:7 - even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf 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 with me of grace.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:8 - For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:9 - And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:10 - so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:11 - being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

The Gospel Is Preached

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:12 - Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:13 - so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:14 - and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:15 - Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:16 - the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:17 - but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:18 - What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:19 - For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:20 - according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

To Live Is Christ

Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:21 - For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:22 - But if to live in the flesh,—if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:23 - But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:24 - yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:25 - And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:26 - that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:27 - Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:28 - and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:29 - because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:
Unchecked Copy BoxPhl 1:30 - having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
