Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Paulus et Timotheus, servi Jesu Christi, omnibus sanctis in Christo Jesu, qui sunt Philippis, cum episcopis et diaconibus.
1Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which 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 thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
4semper in cunctis orationibus meis pro omnibus vobis, cum gaudio deprecationem faciens,
4Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
5super communicatione vestra in Evangelio Christi a prima die usque nunc.
5For your fellowship 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 very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
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.
7Even 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.
8Testis enim mihi est Deus, quomodo cupiam omnes vos in visceribus Jesu Christi.
8For God is my record, how greatly 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 love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10ut probetis potiora, ut sitis sinceri, et sine offensa in diem Christi,
10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
11repleti fructu justitiæ per Jesum Christum, in gloriam et laudem Dei.
11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12Scire autem vos volo fratres, quia quæ circa me sunt, magis ad profectum venerunt Evangelii:
12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13ita ut vincula mea manifesta fierent in Christo in omni prætorio, et in ceteris omnibus,
13So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, 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, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15Quidam quidem et propter invidiam et contentionem: quidam autem et propter bonam voluntatem Christum prædicant:
15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16quidam ex caritate, scientes quoniam in defensionem Evangelii positus sum.
16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17Quidam autem ex contentione Christum annuntiant non sincere, existimantes pressuram se suscitare vinculis meis.
17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18Quid enim? Dum omni modo sive per occasionem, sive per veritatem, Christus annuntietur: et in hoc gaudeo, sed et gaudebo.
18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do 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 turn to my 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 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.
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 live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23Coarctor autem e duobus: desiderium habens dissolvi, et esse cum Christo, multo magis melius:
23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24permanere autem in carne, necessarium propter vos.
24Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more 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 be more abundant in Jesus Christ 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 as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving 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 terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of 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 in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
30idem certamen habentes, quale et vidistis in me, et nunc audistis de me.
30Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
