Christi omnibus sanctis in Christo Iesu      Jesus Christ, to all the saints in
qui sunt Philippis cum episcopis et          Christ Jesus which are at Philippi,
diaconis                                     with the bishops and deacons:

1:2  gratia vobis et pax a Deo Patre         2.  Grace be unto you, and peace, from
nostro et Domino Iesu Christo                God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus
                                             Christ.

1:3  gratias ago Deo meo in omni             3.  I thank my God upon every
memoria vestri                               remembrance of you,

1:4  semper in cunctis orationibus meis      4.  Always in every prayer of mine for
pro omnibus vobis cum gaudio                 you all making request with joy,
deprecationem faciens

1:5  super communicatione vestra in          5.  For your fellowship in the gospel
evangelio a prima die usque nunc             from the first day until now;

1:6  confidens hoc ipsum quia qui            6.  Being confident of this very thing,
coepit in vobis opus bonum perficiet         that he which hath begun a good work in
usque in diem Christi Iesu                   you will perform it until the day of
                                             Jesus Christ:

1:7  sicut est mihi iustum hoc sentire       7.  Even as it is meet for me to think
pro omnibus vobis eo quod habeam in          this of you all, because I have you in
corde vos et in vinculis meis et in          my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds,
defensione et confirmatione evangelii        and in the defence and confirmation of
socios gaudii mei omnes vos esse             the gospel, ye all are partakers of my
                                             grace.

1:8  testis enim mihi est Deus quomodo       8.  For God is my record, how greatly I
cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Christi       long after you all in the bowels of
Iesu                                         Jesus Christ.

1:9  et hoc oro ut caritas vestra magis      9.  And this I pray, that your love may
ac magis abundet in scientia et omni         abound yet more and more in knowledge
sensu                                        and in all judgment;

1:10  ut probetis potiora ut sitis           10.  That ye may approve things that
sinceres et sine offensa in diem Christi     are excellent; that ye may be sincere
                                             and without offence till the day of
                                             Christ.

1:11  repleti fructu iustitiae per           11.  Being filled with the fruits of
Christum Iesum in gloriam et laudem Dei      righteousness, which are by Jesus
                                             Christ, unto the glory and praise of
                                             God.

1:12  scire autem vos volo fratres quia      12.  But I would ye should understand,
quae circa me sunt magis ad profectum        brethren, that the things which
venerunt evangelii                           happened unto me have fallen out rather
                                             unto the furtherance of the gospel;

1:13  ita ut vincula mea manifesta           13.  So that my bonds in Christ are
fierent in Christo in omni praetorio et      manifest in all the palace, and in all
in ceteris omnibus                           other places;

1:14  et plures e fratribus in Domino        14.  And many of the brethren in the
confidentes vinculis meis abundantius        Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are
audere sine timore verbum Dei loqui          much more bold to speak the word
                                             without fear.

1:15  quidam quidem et propter invidiam      15.  Some indeed preach Christ even of
et contentionem quidam autem et propter      envy and strife; and some also of good
bonam voluntatem Christum praedicant         will:

1:16  quidam ex caritate scientes            16.  The one preach Christ of
quoniam in defensionem evangelii             contention, not sincerely, supposing to
positus sum                                  add affliction to my bonds:

1:17  quidam autem ex contentione            17.  But the other of love, knowing
Christum adnuntiant non sincere              that I am set for the defence of the
existimantes pressuram se suscitare          gospel.
vinculis meis

1:18  quid enim dum omni modo sive per       18.  What then? notwithstanding, every
occasionem sive per veritatem Christus       way, whether in pretence, or in truth,
adnuntiatur et in hoc gaudeo sed et          Christ is preached; and I therein do
gaudebo                                      rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

1:19  scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet      19.  For I know that this shall turn to
in salutem per vestram orationem et          my salvation through your prayer, and
subministrationem Spiritus Iesu Christi      the supply of the Spirit of Jesus
                                             Christ,

1:20  secundum expectationem et spem         20.  According to my earnest
meam quia in nullo confundar sed in          expectation and my hope, that in
omni fiducia sicut semper et nunc            nothing I shall be ashamed, but that
magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo       with all boldness, as always, so now
sive per vitam sive per mortem               also Christ shall be magnified in my
                                             body, whether it be by life, or by
                                             death.

1:21  mihi enim vivere Christus est et       21.  For to me to live is Christ, and
mori lucrum                                  to die is gain.

1:22  quod si vivere in carne hic mihi       22.  But if I live in the flesh, this
fructus operis est et quid eligam ignoro     is the fruit of my labour: yet what I
                                             shall choose I wot not.

1:23  coartor autem e duobus desiderium      23.  For I am in a strait betwixt two,
habens dissolvi et cum Christo esse          having a desire to depart, and to be
multo magis melius                           with Christ; which is far better:

1:24  permanere autem in carne magis         24.  Nevertheless to abide in the flesh
necessarium est propter vos                  is more needful for you.

1:25  et hoc confidens scio quia manebo      25.  And having this confidence, I know
et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum      that I shall abide and continue with
vestrum et gaudium fidei                     you all for your furtherance and joy of
                                             faith;

1:26  ut gratulatio vestra abundet in        26.  That your rejoicing may be more
Christo Iesu in me per meum adventum         abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my
iterum ad vos                                coming to you again.

1:27  tantum digne evangelio Christi         27.  Only let your conversation be as
conversamini ut sive cum venero et           it becometh the gospel of Christ: that
videro vos sive absens audiam de vobis       whether I come and see you, or else be
quia stetistis uno spiritu unianimes         absent, I may hear of your affairs,
conlaborantes fide evangelii                 that ye stand fast in one spirit, with
                                             one mind striving together for the
                                             faith of the gospel;

1:28  et in nullo terreamini ab              28.  And in nothing terrified by your
adversariis quae est illis causa             adversaries: which is to them an
perditionis vobis autem salutis et hoc       evident token of perdition, but to you
a Deo                                        of salvation, and that of God.

1:29  quia vobis donatum est pro             29.  For unto you it is given in the
Christo non solum ut in eum credatis         behalf of Christ, not only to believe
sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini              on him, but also to suffer for his sake;

1:30  eundem certamen habentes qualem        30.  Having the same conflict which ye
et vidistis in me et nunc audistis de me     saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
