Thanksgiving

1 Paul ^G3972 and Timothy ^G5095, bond-servants ^G1401 of Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424,

To all ^G3956 the [fn]saints ^G40 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 who are in Philippi ^G5375, [fn]including ^G4862 the overseers ^G1985 and deacons ^G1249:

2 Grace ^G5485 to you and peace ^G1515 from God ^G2316 our Father ^G3962 and the Lord ^G2962 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547.

3 I thank ^G2168 my God ^G2316 in all ^G3956 my remembrance ^G3417 of you, 4 always ^G3842 offering ^G4160 prayer ^G1162 with joy ^G5479 in my every ^G3956 prayer ^G1162 for you all ^G3956, 5 in ^G1909 view ^G1909 of ^G1909 your [fn]participation ^G2842 in the gospel ^G2098 from the first ^G4413 day ^G2250 until ^G891 now ^G3568. 6 For I am confident ^G3982 of this ^G3778 very ^G846 thing ^G846, that He who began ^G1728 a good ^G18 work ^G2041 [fn]among you will complete ^G2005 it [fn]by the day ^G2250 of Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424. 7 [fn]For it is only ^G2531 right ^G1342 for me to feel ^G5426 this ^G3778 way ^G3778 about ^G5228 you all ^G3956, because ^G1223 I have ^G2192 you in my heart ^G2588, since both ^G5037 in my [fn]imprisonment ^G1199 and in the defense ^G627 and confirmation ^G951 of the gospel ^G2098, you all ^G3956 are [fn]partakers ^G4791 of grace ^G5485 with me. 8 For God ^G2316 is my witness ^G3144, how ^G5613 I long ^G1971 for ^G1971 you all ^G3956 with the [fn]affection ^G4698 of Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424. 9 And this ^G3778 I pray ^G4336, that your love ^G26 may overflow ^G4052 still ^G2089 more ^G3123 and more ^G3123 in real ^G1922 knowledge ^G1922 and all ^G3956 discernment ^G144, 10 so ^G1519 that ^G1519 you may [fn]discover ^G1381 the things that are excellent ^G1308, that you may be sincere ^G1506 and blameless ^G677 for the day ^G2250 of Christ ^G5547; 11 having been filled ^G4137 with the fruit ^G2590 of righteousness ^G1343 which comes through ^G1223 Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, for the glory ^G1391 and praise ^G1868 of God ^G2316.

The Gospel Is Preached

12 Now ^G1161 I want ^G1014 you to know ^G1097, brothers ^G80 and sisters, that my circumstances ^G3588 G2596 have turned ^G2064 out ^G2064 for the greater ^G3123 progress ^G4297 of the gospel ^G2098,

13 so ^G5620 that ^G5620 my [fn]imprisonment ^G1199 in the cause of Christ ^G5547 has become ^G1096 well ^G5318 known ^G5318 throughout ^G1722 G3650 the [fn]praetorian ^G4232 guard ^G4232 and to everyone ^G3956 else ^G3062, 14 and that most ^G4183 of the brothers ^G80 and sisters, [fn]trusting ^G3982 in the Lord ^G2962 because of my [fn]imprisonment ^G1199, have ^G5111 far ^G4056 more ^G4056 courage ^G5111 to speak ^G2980 the word ^G3056 of God ^G2316 without ^G870 fear ^G870. 15 Some ^G5100, to be sure ^G3303, are preaching ^G2784 Christ ^G5547 even ^G2532 [fn]from envy ^G5355 and strife ^G2054, but some ^G5100 also ^G2532 [fn]from goodwill ^G2107; 16 the latter ^G3303 do it out of love ^G26, knowing ^G6063 that I am appointed ^G2749 for the defense ^G627 of the gospel ^G2098; 17 the former ^G3588 G1161 proclaim ^G2605 Christ ^G5547 out of selfish ^G2052 ambition ^G2052 [fn]rather ^G3756 than ^G3756 from pure ^G55 motives ^G55, thinking ^G3633 that they are causing ^G1453 me distress ^G2347 in my [fn]imprisonment ^G1199. 18 What ^G5101 then ^G1063? Only ^G4133 that in every ^G3956 way ^G5158, whether ^G1535 in pretense ^G4392 or ^G1535 in truth ^G225, Christ ^G5547 is proclaimed ^G2605, and in this ^G3778 I rejoice ^G5463.

But not only that, I also ^G2532 will rejoice ^G5463, 19 for I know ^G6063 that this ^G3778 will turn ^G576 out ^G576 for my [fn]deliverance ^G4991 through ^G1223 your [fn]prayers ^G1162 and the provision ^G2024 of the Spirit ^G4151 of Jesus ^G2424 Christ ^G5547, 20 according ^G2596 to my eager ^G603 expectation ^G603 and hope ^G1680, that I will not be put ^G153 to ^G153 shame ^G153 in anything ^G3762, but that with all ^G3956 boldness ^G3954, Christ ^G5547 will even ^G2532 now ^G3568, as always ^G3842, be exalted ^G3170 in my body ^G4983, whether ^G1535 by life ^G2222 or ^G1535 by death ^G2288.

To Live Is Christ

21 For to me, to live ^G2198 is Christ ^G5547, and to die ^G599 is gain ^G2771. 22 [fn]But if ^G1487 I am to live ^G2198 on in the flesh ^G4561, this ^G3778 will mean fruitful ^G2590 labor ^G2041 for me; and I do not know ^G1107 [fn]which ^G5101 to choose ^G138. 23 But I am hard-pressed ^G4912 from both ^G1417 directions, having ^G2192 the desire ^G1939 to depart ^G360 and be with Christ ^G5547, for that is very ^G4183 much ^G4183 better ^G2909; 24 yet ^G1161 to remain ^G1961 on in the flesh ^G4561 is more ^G316 necessary ^G316 for your sakes ^G1223. 25 Convinced ^G3982 of this ^G3778, I know ^G6063 that I will remain ^G3306 and continue ^G3887 with you all ^G3956 for your progress ^G4297 and joy ^G5479 [fn]in the faith ^G4102, 26 so ^G2443 that ^G2443 your pride ^G2745 in Christ ^G5547 Jesus ^G2424 may be ^G4052 abundant ^G4052 because ^G1722 of me by my coming ^G3952 to you again ^G3825.

27 Only ^G3440 conduct ^G4176 yourselves in ^G516 a ^G516 manner ^G516 worthy ^G516 of the gospel ^G2098 of Christ ^G5547, so ^G2443 that ^G2443 whether ^G1535 I come ^G2064 and see ^G3708 you or ^G1535 remain ^G548 absent ^G548, I will hear ^G191 about ^G4012 you that you are standing ^G4739 firm ^G4739 in one ^G1520 spirit ^G4151, with one ^G1520 [fn]mind ^G5590 striving ^G4866 together ^G4866 for the faith ^G4102 of the gospel ^G2098; 28 and in no ^G3367 way ^G3367 alarmed ^G4426 by your opponents ^G480—which ^G3748 is a sign ^G1732 of destruction ^G684 for them, but of salvation ^G4991 for you, and this ^G3778 too, from God ^G2316. 29 For to you it has been granted ^G5483 for ^G5228 Christ’s ^G5547 sake ^G5228, not only ^G3440 to believe ^G4100 in Him, but also ^G2532 to suffer ^G3958 on ^G5228 His behalf ^G5228, 30 experiencing ^G2192 the same ^G846 conflict ^G73 which ^G3634 you saw ^G3708 in me, and now ^G3568 hear ^G191 to be in me.
