Philippians 1:1
|
Sha'ul and Timothy, servants of Yeshua the Messiah; To all the holy ones in Messiah Yeshua who are at Philippi, with the overseers and shammashim:
|
Philippians 1:2
|
Grace to you, and shalom from God, our Father, and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
|
Philippians 1:3
|
I thank my God whenever I remember you,
|
Philippians 1:4
|
always in every request of mine on behalf of you all making my requests with joy,
|
Philippians 1:5
|
for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
|
Philippians 1:6
|
being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Yeshua the Messiah.
|
Philippians 1:7
|
It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
|
Philippians 1:8
|
For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Messiah Yeshua.
|
Philippians 1:9
|
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
|
Philippians 1:10
|
so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Messiah;
|
Philippians 1:11
|
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Yeshua the Messiah, to the glory and praise of God.
|
Philippians 1:12
|
Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News;
|
Philippians 1:13
|
so that it became evident to the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Messiah;
|
Philippians 1:14
|
and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
|
Philippians 1:15
|
Some indeed preach Messiah even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
|
Philippians 1:16
|
The former insincerely preach Messiah from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
|
Philippians 1:17
|
but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
|
Philippians 1:18
|
What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Messiah is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
|
Philippians 1:19
|
For I know that this will turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Yeshua the Messiah,
|
Philippians 1:20
|
according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.
|
Philippians 1:21
|
For to me to live is Messiah, and to die is gain.
|
Philippians 1:22
|
But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don't make known what I will choose.
|
Philippians 1:23
|
But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Messiah, which is far better.
|
Philippians 1:24
|
Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
|
Philippians 1:25
|
Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
|
Philippians 1:26
|
that your rejoicing may abound in Messiah Yeshua in me through my presence with you again.
|
Philippians 1:27
|
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News of Messiah, that, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
|
Philippians 1:28
|
and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
|
Philippians 1:29
|
Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Messiah, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
|
Philippians 1:30
|
having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear is in me.
