Philippians
New International Version → New King James Version

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, bondservants of Jesus Christ, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the [a]bishops 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 upon every remembrance of you,

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

always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy,

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

for your fellowship 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.

being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

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.

just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers with me of grace.

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

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

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 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,

that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

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

being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by 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.

But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance 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 it has become evident to the whole [b]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

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 most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

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

Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill:

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

[c]The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains;

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

but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.

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 preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and 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 prayer and the supply 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 in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

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

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 live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I [d]cannot tell.

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

[e]For I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

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

Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you.

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,

And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith,

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

that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by 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 let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast 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.

and not in any way terrified by your adversaries, which is to them a proof of perdition, but [f]to you of salvation, and that 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 on behalf of Christ, 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.

having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.
