3 I am thanking
my God, as often as I am remembering you, 4 the way I am pleading to [him],
and [I] am glad always, as often as I am pleading to [him] for you all,
5 because you were associating with me for the gospel, since it was during
first day [during which you were believing], until it is now. 6 Because
I have been trusting [him] that [he [who] began among you the good workmanship]
will be finishing [his] work, until it is during a day [during which Messiah
Jesus will return to the earth]. 7 Inasmuch as I am thinking properly about
you, because I am yearning to you, because you are associating with me,
in the case of I am imprisoned; I am defending [concerning the gospel];
and I am verifying it, in the case of [God] was gracious to [us]. 8 By
the way, I am strongly affirming that I am desiring that [I will be visiting
you], the way Christ Jesus is feeling to you. 9 I am praying to [God] that
you will be loving [him and people] excessively more, in the case of you
are knowing, as often as you are understanding, 10 in order that you can
test things which are valuable, so that you will be sincere until a day
[during which Christ will return to the earth], and you will be blameless,
11 because [God] will have been filling you with the deed which is the
righteousness by Christ Jesus, so [people] will be glorifying God; and
[they] will be praising him.
12 Fellow believers
I desire that you are knowing that [the things with regard to me had not
resulted in that [they prevent that [the gospel is progressing]], instead
they had been resulting in that it is progressing, 13 therefore whole palace
guard and all remaining people [in Rome] are knowing that I am imprisoned,
[because I am preaching [Christ's gospel]]. 14 Many brothers are daring
excessively that they are speaking fearlessly it, 15 the way people are
preaching [it], because [they] are jealous of [me]; and [they] are quarreling,
but people are preaching [it], because [they] are pleased with [me]. 16
Because [they] are loving [me], because [they] had known that I have been
located in [here], in order that I am defending concerning the gospel,
17 but [the people] are not proclaiming sincerely [his gospel], because
of [Satan] had embittered them, because they are supposing that they will
be creating the trouble, with regard to: I am imprisoned, 18 by the way,
it is whatever; I am rejoicing, in the case of [things] are proclaiming
[Christ's gospel], the way it is doing it, by they are pretending that
they are proclaiming [it] or they are proclaiming with the truth [his gospel],
by [he] has persuaded the brothers united with himself, because I am imprisoned].
I will be rejoicing,
19 because I am knowing that it will result in that I will be saving, [although
I am imprisoned], by you are pleading to [God]; and the Holy Spirit united
with Christ Jesus is providing for [me], 20 according to I am desiring
that I will not be ashamed that [I honor highly him] but [I] will be honoring
highly him with my body, the way I am brave, when it is now, by I might
have been living or I might die, [just as [I] am honoring highly him always];
I am hoping that it will not do it. 21 Because I will be living united
with him [if I will be living] then; and I will have earned [if I might
die] then. 22 It will have been resulting in the deed if I might be living
in the body then, when [I] will be working, by the way, I am not knowing
the thing, in answer to: whom/what will I select. 23 But two things are
pushing me? Because I am desiring that I will die; and then I will
be with Heaven, because I will be with him better than [I am living in
the body]. 24 But [I] am continuing necessarily in it for you that [I am
living]. 25 And I know that I will be remaining, and I will be remaining
with you all, in order that you might be progressing, in the case of you
are believing; and you might be glad, in the case of you are believing,
26 so that your pride might be in abundance united with him with regard
to me, by I will be arriving again to you, after [God] had persuaded me
that [I continue necessarily in the body for you that [I am living]].
27 Be living worthy
of Christ's gospel! So that I will hear that you are in one worldview,
by you are toiling with each other in one self for the doctrine with regard
to the gospel 28 you are not afraid by things which are hostile toward
[you and the gospel], in particular, you demonstrate that [God] will destroy
them, but [he] will save you, [because you are in one worldview, by you
are toiling with each other in one self for the doctrine with regard to
the gospel; ; and you are not afraid by them which are hostile toward [you
and the gospel]], [and he will destroy them]; [he will save you]. 29 Because
[he] gave generously to you, in particular, you are trusting Christ; and
you are suffering for him, 30 because you are experiencing that you are
struggling, just as you were seeing me who was struggling; and you have
heard that I am struggling, although I might see you, toward I might go
to [you] from [here] or I might be absent from [Philippi].
