¹Paul and Timothy, slaves of the Anointed One Jesus, to all the holy ones in the Anointed One Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:

²Favor to you and wholeness from God our Father and the Lord Jesus the Anointed One.

³I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,

⁴always in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,

⁵for your partnership in the good news from the first day until the now;

⁶having been persuaded of this very thing, that the One having begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of the Anointed One Jesus;

⁷even as it is right for me to feel this about you all, since I have you in the heart, both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the good news, you all being fellow partakers with me of favor.

⁸For God is my Witness how I long after you all in the affection of the Anointed One Jesus.

⁹And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all discernment,

¹⁰for you to approve the things being excellent, so that you may be pure and blameless unto the day of the Anointed One,

¹¹filled with the fruit of righteousness that is through Jesus the Anointed One, to the glory and praise of God.

¹²Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have really turned out to the advancement of the good news,

¹³so as for my chains to have become clearly known in the Anointed One in all the palace guard and to all the rest,

¹⁴and the most of the brothers in the Lord, already trusting by my chains, more abundantly dare fearlessly to speak the word of God.

¹⁵Some indeed even from envy and strife, however some also from goodwill, are proclaiming the Anointed One —

¹⁶the ones indeed out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the good news;

¹⁷however the ones out of selfish ambition are proclaiming the Anointed One not purely, supposing to add tribulation to my chains.

¹⁸What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, the Anointed One is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice.

¹⁹For I know that this will turn out for me to deliverance through your prayer and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus the Anointed One,

²⁰according to the earnest expectation and my hope that in no thing I will be ashamed, but in all boldness, as always also now, the Anointed One will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.

²¹For to me, to live is the Anointed One, and to die is gain.

²²However if I am to live in flesh, this is for me the fruit of labor; and what I will choose I know not!

²³Now I am pressed between the two, having the longing to depart and to be with the Anointed One, for it is much better;

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

²⁵And having been persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with you all, for your progress and joy of the trust,

²⁶so that your boasting may abound to the Anointed One Jesus in me, through my coming again to you.

²⁷Only conduct yourselves worthily of the good news of the Anointed One, so that whether when I had come and had seen you, or being absent I shall hear the things concerning you, that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the trust of the good news,

²⁸and being frightened in nothing by those who oppose you, which is to them indeed a demonstration of destruction, however to you of salvation, and this from God;

²⁹for to you it has been granted the thing concerning the Anointed One, not only to trust in Him, but also to suffer concerning Him,

³⁰having the same conflict such as you saw in me and now hear of in me.
