Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Paulus et Timotheus, servi Jesu Christi, omnibus sanctis in Christo Jesu, qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconibus.
1Paul and Timothy, the servants of Jesus Christ; to all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.
2Gratia vobis, et pax a Deo Patre nostro, et Domino Jesu Christo.
2Grace be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Gratias ago Deo meo in omni memoria vestri,
3I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you,
4semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis, cum gaudio deprecationem faciens,
4Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all, with joy;
5super communicatione vestra in Evangelio Christi a prima die usque nunc.
5For your communication in the gospel of Christ 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 very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto 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.
7As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that in my bands, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy.
8Testis enim mihi est Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Jesu Christi.
8For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9Et hoc oro, ut caritas vestra magis ac magis abundet in scientia, et in omni sensu:
9And this I pray, that your charity may more and more abound in knowledge, and in all understanding:
10ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri, et sine offensa in diem Christi,
10That you may approve the better things, that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ,
11repleti fructu justitiæ per Jesum Christum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.
11Filled with the fruit of justice, through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12Scire autem vos volo fratres, quia quæ circa me sunt, magis ad profectum venerunt Evangelii:
12Now, brethren, I desire you should know, that the things which have happened to me, have fallen out rather to the furtherance of the gospel:
13ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni prætorio, et in ceteris omnibus,
13So that my bands are made manifest in Christ, in all the court, and in all other places;
14et plures e fratribus in Domino confidentes vinculis meis, abundantius auderent sine timore verbum Dei loqui.
14And many of the brethren in the Lord, growing confident by my bands, are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15Quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem: quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum prædicant:
15Some indeed, even out of envy and contention; but some also for good will preach Christ.
16quidam ex caritate, scientes quoniam in defensionem Evangelii positus sum.
16Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
17Quidam autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant non sincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis.
17And some out of contention preach Christ not sincerely: supposing that they raise affliction to my bands.
18Quid enim? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur: et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.
18But what then? So that by all means, whether by occasion, or by truth, Christ be preached: in this also I rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19Scio enim quia hoc mihi proveniet ad salutem, per vestram orationem, et subministrationem Spiritus Jesu Christi,
19For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
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.
20According to my expectation and hope; that in nothing I shall be confounded, but with all confidence, as always, so now also shall Christ be magnified in my body, wither it be 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.
22And if to live in the flesh, this is to me the fruit of labour, and what I shall choose I know not.
23Coarctor autem e duobus: desiderium habens dissolvi, et esse cum Christo, multo magis melius:
23But I am straitened between two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, a thing by far the better.
24permanere autem in carne, necessarium propter vos.
24But to abide still in the flesh, is needful for you.
25Et hoc confidens scio quia manebo, et permanebo omnibus vobis ad profectum vestrum, et gaudium fidei:
25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:
26ut gratulatio vestra abundet in Christo Jesu in me, per meum adventum iterum ad vos.
26That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again.
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:
27Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel.
28et in nullo terreamini ab adversariis: quæ illis est causa perditionis, vobis autem salutis, et hoc a Deo:
28And in nothing be ye terrified by the adversaries: which to them is a cause of perdition, but to you of salvation, and this from God:
29quia vobis donatum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credatis, sed ut etiam pro illo patiamini:
29For unto you it is given for 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.
30Having the same conflict as that which you have seen in me, and now have heard of me.
