Philippians 1 : 1 (ASV)

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus that are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:

Philippians 1 : 2 (ASV)

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

Philippians 1 : 3 (ASV)

I thank my God upon all my remembrance of you,

Philippians 1 : 4 (ASV)

always in every supplication of mine on behalf of you all making my supplication with joy,

Philippians 1 : 5 (ASV)

for your fellowship in furtherance of the gospel from the first day until now;

Philippians 1 : 6 (ASV)

being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Philippians 1 : 7 (ASV)

even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.

Philippians 1 : 8 (ASV)

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

Philippians 1 : 9 (ASV)

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

Philippians 1 : 10 (ASV)

so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;

Philippians 1 : 11 (ASV)

being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Philippians 1 : 12 (ASV)

Now I would have you know, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;

Philippians 1 : 13 (ASV)

so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole praetorian guard, and to all the rest;

Philippians 1 : 14 (ASV)

and that most of the brethren in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

Philippians 1 : 15 (ASV)

Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

Philippians 1 : 16 (ASV)

the one do it of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel;

Philippians 1 : 17 (ASV)

but the other proclaim Christ of faction, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction for me in my bonds.

Philippians 1 : 18 (ASV)

What then? only that in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and therein I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

Philippians 1 : 19 (ASV)

For I know that this shall turn out to my salvation, through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

Philippians 1 : 20 (ASV)

according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing shall I be put to shame, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether by life, or by death.

Philippians 1 : 21 (ASV)

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

Philippians 1 : 22 (ASV)

But if to live in the flesh, --if this shall bring fruit from my work, then what I shall choose I know not.

Philippians 1 : 23 (ASV)

But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:

Philippians 1 : 24 (ASV)

yet to abide in the flesh is more needful for your sake.

Philippians 1 : 25 (ASV)

And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith;

Philippians 1 : 26 (ASV)

that your glorying may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.

Philippians 1 : 27 (ASV)

Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you and be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the gospel;

Philippians 1 : 28 (ASV)

and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God;

Philippians 1 : 29 (ASV)

because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf:

Philippians 1 : 30 (ASV)

having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
