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

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

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

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

for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now,

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

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;

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

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.

It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace,d both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.

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

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

being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel,

I want you to know, brothers,e that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,

so that it has become evident to the whole [b]palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ;

so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guardf and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.

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

And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the wordg without fear.

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

Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.

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

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

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

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.

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

For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

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

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.

as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored 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.

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

If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.

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

I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.

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

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

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

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

so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.

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,

Only let your manner of life be worthyh of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel,

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.

and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God.

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

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake,

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