Paul and Timothy,
aslaves of Christ Jesus, to all the
bsaints in Christ Jesus who are in

2with the
3doverseers and
4edeacons:
Phil. 1

II.
Living Christ to magnify Him
1:3-30
A.
Fellowship for the furtherance of the gospel
vv. 3-18
Phil. 1
:3
1:3
I athank my God upon all my remembrance of you,
Phil. 1
:4
1:4
Always in my every petition on behalf of you all, making my
apetition with
bjoy,
Phil. 1
:5
1:5
For your
1afellowship unto
the furtherance of the
2bgospel from the first day until now,
Phil. 1
:6
1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun in you a good work will complete it until the
aday of Christ Jesus;
Phil. 1
:7
1:7
Even as it is right for me to think this concerning you all because you have me in your heart, since both in my
abonds and in the
1bdefense and confirmation of the gospel you are all
2fellow partakers
3with me of grace.
Phil. 1
:8
1:8
For God is my
awitness how I
blong after you all in the
1cinward parts of Christ Jesus.
Phil. 1
:9
1:9
And this I pray, that your
alove may abound yet more and more in
1bfull knowledge and all
2discernment,
Phil. 1
:10
1:10
So that you may
aapprove by testing the things which differ and are more excellent, that you may be
1pure and
2without offense unto the
bday of Christ,
Phil. 1
:11
1:11
Being filled with the
1afruit of righteousness, which is
bthrough Jesus Christ, to the
cglory and praise of God.
Phil. 1
:12
1:12
Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have turned out rather to the
1advancement of the
agospel,
Phil. 1
:13
1:13
So that my
abonds have become manifest
as being 1in Christ among the whole
2Praetorian guard and to all the rest.
Phil. 1
:14
1:14
And most of the brothers, being confident in the Lord because of my bonds, are more exceedingly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
Phil. 1
:15
1:15
1Some preach Christ even because of
aenvy and
2strife, and
3some also because of good will,
Phil. 1
:16
1:16
These out of love, knowing that I am set for the
adefense of the gospel.
Phil. 1
:17
1:17
But the others announce Christ out of
1selfish ambition, not purely, thinking to raise up
2affliction in my
abonds.
Phil. 1
:18
1:18
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truthfulness, Christ is announced; and in this I
1arejoice; yes, and I will rejoice;
B.
Magnifying Christ by living Him
vv. 19-26
Phil. 1
:19
1:19
For I know that for me this will turn out to
1asalvation through
2your bpetition and
the 3bountiful csupply of the
4dSpirit of Jesus Christ,
Phil. 1
:20
1:20
According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to
ashame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be
1magnified bin my body, whether through life or through
cdeath.
Phil. 1
:21
1:21
For to me, to
1alive is Christ and to die is
2gain.
Phil. 1
:22
1:22
But if I am to live in the flesh, if this to me is
afruit for
my work, then I do not know what I will choose.
Phil. 1
:23
1:23
But I am constrained between the two, having the desire to
adepart and be
1with Christ, for
this is far better;
Phil. 1
:24
1:24
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for
1your sake.
Phil. 1
:25
1:25
And being confident of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your
1progress and
ajoy of
2the bfaith,
Phil. 1
:26
1:26
That your
1boast may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.
C.
Striving along with the gospel with one soul
vv. 27-30
Phil. 1
:27
1:27
Only, conduct yourselves in a manner
aworthy of the
bgospel of Christ, that whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I may hear of the things concerning you, that you
cstand firm in one spirit, with
1done soul
2estriving together
along with
3the faith of the gospel,
Phil. 1
:28
1:28
And in nothing being frightened by the opposers, which is to them a
aproof of
their 1bdestruction, but of your
2salvation, and that from God;
Phil. 1
:29
1:29
Because to you it has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe
1into Him but also to
2asuffer on His behalf,
Phil. 1
:30
1:30
Having the same
astruggle which you saw in
1me and now hear
to be in me.
