Philippians 1:30
King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology
CHAPTER 1. |
||
Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: |
||
Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
||
I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, |
||
Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, |
||
For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; |
||
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: |
||
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. |
||
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. |
||
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; |
||
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; |
||
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. |
||
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; |
||
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; |
||
And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. |
||
Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: |
||
The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: |
||
But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. |
||
What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. |
