1Paulus et Timotheus, servi Jesu Christi, omnibus sanctis in Christo Jesu, qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconibus.
1Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
2Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri,
3I thank my God every time I remember you.
4semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis, cum gaudio deprecationem faciens,
4In every prayer for all of you, I always pray with joy,
5super communicatione vestra in Evangelio Christi a prima die usque nunc.
5because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
6Confidens hoc ipsum, quia qui cœpit in vobis opus bonum, perficiet usque in diem Christi Jesu:
6being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
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.
7It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart. For in my chains and in my defense and confirmation of the gospel, you are all partners in grace with me.
8Testis enim mihi est Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Jesu Christi.
8God is my witness how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
9Et hoc oro, ut caritas vestra magis ac magis abundet in scientia, et in omni sensu:
9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
10ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri, et sine offensa in diem Christi,
10so that you may be able to test and prove what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
11repleti fructu justitiæ per Jesum Christum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.
11filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12Scire autem vos volo fratres, quia quæ circa me sunt, magis ad profectum venerunt Evangelii:
12Now I want you to know, brothers, that my circumstances have actually served to advance the gospel.
13ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni prætorio, et in ceteris omnibus,
13As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.
14et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentes vinculis meis, abundantius auderent sine timore verbum Dei loqui.
14And most of the brothers, confident in the Lord by my chains, now dare more greatly to speak the word without fear.
15Quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem: quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum prædicant:
15It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
16quidam ex caritate, scientes quoniam in defensionem Evangelii positus sum.
16The latter do so in love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel.
17Quidam autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant non sincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis.
17The former, however, preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can add to the distress of my chains.
18Quid enim? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur: et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.
18What then is the issue? Just this: that in every way, whether by false motives or true, Christ is preached. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
19Scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet ad salutem, per vestram orationem, et subministrationem Spiritus Jesu Christi,
19because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance.
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.
20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.
21Mihi enim vivere Christus est, et mori lucrum.
21For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22Quod si vivere in carne, hic mihi fructus operis est, et quid eligam ignoro.
22But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know.
23Coarctor autem e duobus: desiderium habens dissolvi, et esse cum Christo, multo magis melius:
23I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.
24permanere autem in carne, necessarium propter vos.
24But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25Et hoc confidens scio quia manebo, et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum, et gaudium fidei:
25Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26ut gratulatio vestra abundet in Christo Jesu in me, per meum adventum iterum ad vos.
26so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
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:
27Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending side by side for the faith of the gospel,
28et in nullo terreamini ab adversariis: quæ illis est causa perditionis, vobis autem salutis, et hoc a Deo:
28without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God.
29quia vobis donatum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credatis, sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini:
29For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him,
30idem certamen habentes, quale et vidistis in me, et nunc audistis de me.
30since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
