New International Version → New American Standard Bible

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all God’s holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deaconsa:

Paul and Timothy, bond-servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons:

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

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

I thank my God every time I remember you.

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy

always offering prayer with joy in my every prayer for you all,

because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,

in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

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.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

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.

For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

For God is my witness, how I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus.

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ — to the glory and praise of God.

having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters,b that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel.

Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel,

As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guardc and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

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.

and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;

The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.

the latter do it out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;

The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

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,

What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

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.d

for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

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.

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

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!

But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;

But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better;

but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

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,

Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,

so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.

so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

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,e striving together as one for the faith of the gospel

Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

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.

in no way alarmed by your opponents — which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him,

For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake,

since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.

experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
