Book 50 Philippians 50:001:001 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: 50:001:002 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 50:001:003 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 50:001:004 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, 50:001:005 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; 50:001:006 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: 50:001:007 Even as it is meet for me to think this 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 of my grace. 50:001:008 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 50:001:009 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 50:001:010 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ. 50:001:011 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 50:001:012 But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 50:001:013 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 50:001:014 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 50:001:015 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 50:001:016 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 50:001:017 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 50:001:018 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 50:001:019 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 50:001:020 According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 50:001:021 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
