Philippians 1 — YLT
1Verse 1Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;Verse 2Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.Verse 3I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,Verse 4always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,Verse 5for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,Verse 6having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of Jesus Christ,Verse 7according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.Verse 8For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,Verse 9and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,Verse 10for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless — to a day of Christ,Verse 11being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.Verse 12And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,Verse 13so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places — all,Verse 14and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold — fearlessly to speak the word.Verse 15Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;Verse 16the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,Verse 17and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:Verse 18what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed — and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.Verse 19For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,Verse 20according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,Verse 21for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.Verse 22And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;Verse 23for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,Verse 24and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,Verse 25and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,Verse 26that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.Verse 27Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,Verse 28and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;Verse 29because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;Verse 30the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
