3 ¶ I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, thankG2168 myG3450 GodG2316 uponG1909 everyG3956 remembranceG3417 youG5216

4 Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, AlwaysG3842 inG1722 everyG3956 prayerG1162 mineG3450 forG5228 youG5216 allG3956 makingG4160 requestG1162 withG3326 joyG5479

5 For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; ForG1909 yourG5216 fellowshipG2842 inG1519 gospelG2098 fromG575 firstG4413 dayG2250 untilG891 nowG3568

6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: confidentG3982 thisG5124 thingG846 thatG3754 begunG1728 goodG18 workG2041 inG1722 youG5213 performG2005 untilG891 dayG2250 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

7 ¶ Even 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. asG2531 isG2076 meetG1342 meG1698 thinkG5426 thisG5124 ofG5228 youG5216 allG3956 becauseG1223 haveG2192 youG5209 inG1722 myG3165 heartG2588 bothG5037 inG1722 myG3450 bondsG1199 andG2532 defenceG627 andG2532 confirmationG951 gospelG2098 yeG5209 allG3956 areG5607 partakersG4791 myG3450 graceG5485

8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. ForG1063 GodG2316 isG2076 myG3450 recordG3144 howG5613 afterG1971 youG5209 allG3956 inG1722 bowelsG4698 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

9 ¶ And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; AndG2532 thisG5124 prayG4336 thatG2443 yourG5216 loveG26 aboundG4052 yetG2089 moreG3123 andG2532 moreG3123 inG1722 knowledgeG1922 andG2532 allG3956 judgmentG144

10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; ThatG1519 yeG5209 approveG1381 excellentG1308 thatG2443 beG5600 sincereG1506 andG2532 offenceG677 tillG1519 dayG2250 ChristG5547

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. filledG4137 fruitsG2590 righteousnessG1343 whichG3588 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 gloryG1391 andG2532 praiseG1868 GodG2316

12 ¶ But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; ButG1161 wouldG1014 yeG5209 understandG1097 brethrenG80 thatG3754 untoG2596 meG1691 outG2064 ratherG3123 untoG1519 furtheranceG4297 gospelG2098

13 So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; thatG5620 myG3450 bondsG1199 inG1722 ChristG5547 areG1096 manifestG5318 inG1722 allG3650 palaceG4232 andG2532 allG3956 otherG3062

14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. AndG2532 manyG4119 brethrenG80 inG1722 LordG2962 confidentG3982 myG3450 bondsG1199 moreG4056 boldG5111 speakG2980 wordG3056 fearG870

15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: SomeG5100 indeedG3303 preachG2784 ChristG5547 evenG2532 ofG1223 envyG5355 andG2532 strifeG2054 andG1161 someG5100 alsoG2532 ofG1223 willG2107

16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: oneG3303 preachG2605 ChristG5547 ofG1537 contentionG2052 notG3756 sincerelyG55 supposingG3633 addG2018 afflictionG2347 myG3450 bondsG1199

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. ButG1161 ofG1537 loveG26 knowingG1492 thatG3754 setG2749 forG1519 defenceG627 gospelG2098

18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. WhatG5101 thenG1063 notwithstandingG4133 everyG3956 wayG5158 whetherG1535 pretenceG4392 orG1535 truthG225 ChristG5547 preachedG2605 andG2532 IG5463 thereinG1722 thereinG5129 rejoiceG5463 yeaG235 andG2532 rejoiceG5463

19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, ForG1063 knowG1492 thatG3754 thisG5124 turnG576 toG1519 myG3427 salvationG4991 throughG1223 yourG5216 prayerG1162 andG2532 supplyG2024 SpiritG4151 JesusG2424 ChristG5547

20 According 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. AccordingG2596 myG3450 expectationG603 andG2532 hopeG1680 thatG3754 inG1722 nothingG3762 ashamedG153 butG235 withG1722 allG3956 boldnessG3954 asG5613 alwaysG3842 nowG3568 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 magnifiedG3170 inG1722 myG3450 bodyG4983 whetherG1535 byG1223 lifeG2222 orG1535 byG1223 deathG2288

21 ¶ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. ForG1063 meG1698 liveG2198 ChristG5547 andG2532 dieG599 gainG2771

22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. ButG1161 ifG1487 liveG2198 inG1722 fleshG4561 thisG5124 fruitG2590 labourG2041 labourG3427 yetG2532 whatG5101 chooseG138 wotG1107 notG3756

23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: ForG1063 straitG4912 betwixtG1537 twoG1417 havingG2192 desireG1939 toG1519 departG360 andG2532 beG1511 withG4862 ChristG5547 farG4183 farG3123 betterG2908

24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. NeverthelessG1161 abideG1961 inG1722 fleshG4561 needfulG316 forG1223 youG5209

25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; AndG2532 thisG5124 confidenceG3982 knowG1492 thatG3754 abideG3306 andG2532 continueG4839 youG5213 allG3956 forG1519 yourG5216 furtheranceG4297 andG2532 joyG5479 faithG4102

26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. ThatG2443 yourG5216 rejoicingG2745 abundantG4052 inG1722 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 forG1722 meG1698 byG1223 myG1699 comingG3952 toG4314 youG5209 againG3825

27 ¶ Only 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; OnlyG3440 beG4176 becomethG516 gospelG2098 ChristG5547 thatG2443 whetherG1535 comeG2064 andG2532 seeG1492 youG5209 orG1535 absentG548 hearG191 yourG5216 affairsG4012 thatG3754 fastG4739 inG1722 oneG1520 spiritG4151 oneG3391 mindG5590 togetherG4866 faithG4102 gospelG2098

28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. AndG2532 inG1722 nothingG3367 nothingG3361 terrifiedG4426 byG5259 adversariesG480 whichG3748 isG2076 themG846 themG3303 tokenG1732 perditionG684 butG1161 youG5213 salvationG4991 andG2532 thatG5124 ofG575 GodG2316

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; ForG3754 youG5213 givenG5483 behalfG5228 ChristG5547 notG3756 onlyG3440 believeG4100 onG1519 himG846 butG235 alsoG2532 sufferG3958 forG5228 sakeG846 sakeG5228

30 Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. HavingG2192 sameG846 conflictG73 whichG3634 sawG1492 sawG1492 inG1722 meG1698 andG2532 nowG3568 hearG191 inG1722 meG1698
