फ़िलिप्पियों 1

1Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

2Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,

4Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;

5For your communication in the gospel of Christ from the first day until now.

6Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.

7As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.

8For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.

9And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:

10That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,

11Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

12Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:

13So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;

14And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.

16Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

17And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.

18But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

19For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be by life, or by death.

21For to me, to live is Christ; and to die is gain.

22And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.

23But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.

24But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:

26That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.

27Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.

28And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:

29For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.

30Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.

1Paulus et Timotheus, servi Jesu Christi, omnibus sanctis in Christo Jesu, qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconibus.

2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.

3Gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri,

4semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis, cum gaudio deprecationem faciens,

5super communicatione vestra in Evangelio Christi a prima die usque nunc.

6Confidens hoc ipsum, quia qui cœpit in vobis opus bonum, perficiet usque in diem Christi Jesu:

7sicut est mihi justum hoc sentire pro omnibus vobis: eo quod habeam vos in corde, et in vinculis meis, et in defensione, et confirmatione Evangelii, socios gaudii mei omnes vos esse.

8Testis enim mihi est Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Jesu Christi.

9Et hoc oro, ut caritas vestra magis ac magis abundet in scientia, et in omni sensu:

10ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri, et sine offensa in diem Christi,

11repleti fructu justitiæ per Jesum Christum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.

12Scire autem vos volo fratres, quia quæ circa me sunt, magis ad profectum venerunt Evangelii:

13ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni prætorio, et in ceteris omnibus,

14et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentes vinculis meis, abundantius auderent sine timore verbum Dei loqui.

15Quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem: quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum prædicant:

16quidam ex caritate, scientes quoniam in defensionem Evangelii positus sum.

17Quidam autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant non sincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis.

18Quid enim? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur: et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.

19Scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet ad salutem, per vestram orationem, et subministrationem Spiritus Jesu Christi,

20secundum exspectationem et spem meam, quia in nullo confundar: sed in omni fiducia sicut semper, et nunc magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo, sive per vitam, sive per mortem.

21Mihi enim vivere Christus est, et mori lucrum.

22Quod si vivere in carne, hic mihi fructus operis est, et quid eligam ignoro.

23Coarctor autem e duobus: desiderium habens dissolvi, et esse cum Christo, multo magis melius:

24permanere autem in carne, necessarium propter vos.

25Et hoc confidens scio quia manebo, et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum, et gaudium fidei:

26ut gratulatio vestra abundet in Christo Jesu in me, per meum adventum iterum ad vos.

27Tantum digne Evangelio Christi conversamini: ut sive cum venero, et videro vos, sive absens audiam de vobis, quia statis in uno spiritu unanimes, collaborantes fidei Evangelii:

28et in nullo terreamini ab adversariis: quæ illis est causa perditionis, vobis autem salutis, et hoc a Deo:

29quia vobis donatum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credatis, sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini:

30idem certamen habentes, quale et vidistis in me, et nunc audistis de me.

1Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

2Grace and peace to you, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

3I give thanks to my God, with every remembrance of you,

4always, in all my prayers, making supplication for all of you with joy,

5because of your communion in the Gospel of Christ, from the first day even until now.

6I am confident of this very thing: that he who has begun this good work in you will perfect it, unto the day of Christ Jesus.

7So then, it is right for me to feel this way about all of you, because I hold you in my heart, and because, in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.

8For God is my witness how, within the heart of Jesus Christ, I long for all of you.

9And this I pray: that your charity may abound more and more, with knowledge and with all understanding,

10so that you may be confirmed in what is better, in order that you may be sincere and without offense on the day of Christ:

11filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, in the glory and praise of God.

12Now, brothers, I want you to know that the things concerning me happened for the advancement of the Gospel,

13in such a way that my chains have become manifest in Christ in every place of judgment and in all other such places.

14And many from among the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident through my chains, are now much bolder in speaking the Word of God without fear.

15Certainly, some do so even because of envy and contention; and others, too, do so because of a good will to preach Christ.

16Some act out of charity, knowing that I have been appointed for the defense of the Gospel.

17But others, out of contention, announce Christ insincerely, claiming that their difficulties lift them up to my chains.

18But what does it matter? As long as, by every means, whether under pretext or in truthfulness, Christ is announced. And about this, I rejoice, and moreover, I will continue to rejoice.

19For I know that this will bring me to salvation, through your prayers and under the ministration of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

20by means of my own expectation and hope. For in nothing shall I be confounded. Instead, with all confidence, now just as always, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

21For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

22And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.

23For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,

24but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.

25And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith,

26so that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, through my return to you again.

27Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.

28And in nothing be terrified by the adversaries. For what is to them an occasion of perdition, is to you an occasion of salvation, and this is from God.

29For this has been given to you on behalf of Christ, not only so that you may believe in him, but even so that you may suffer with him,

30engaging in the same struggle, of a kind which you also have seen in me, and which you now have heard from me.
