Philippians 1:5–18

⁵ⁱfor your fellowship in the gospel ^jfrom the first day until now; ⁶being confident of this very thing, that he which hath ^kbegun ^la good work in you will ^mperform it ⁿuntil the day of Jesus Christ: ⁷even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you ^oin my heart; inasmuch as both ^pin my ^qbonds, and in ^rthe defence and ^sconfirmation of the gospel, ^tye all are partakers of my grace. ⁸For ^uGod is my record, how greatly ^wI long after you all in ^xthe bowels of Jesus Christ. ⁹And this I pray, that ^yyour love may abound yet more and more in ^zknowledge and in all judgment; ^10athat ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be ^bsincere and ^cwithout offence ^dtill the day of Christ; ¹¹being filled with ^ethe fruits of righteousness, ^fwhich are by Jesus Christ ^gunto the glory and praise of God.

¹²But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the ^hfurtherance of the gospel; ¹³so that ⁱmy bonds in Christ ^kare manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; ¹⁴and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by ⁱmy bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. ¹⁵Some indeed preach Christ ^leven of envy and strife; and some also of good will: ¹⁶the one preach Christ ^mof contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to ⁱmy bonds: ¹⁷but the other of love, ⁿknowing that ^oI am set for ^pthe defence of the gospel. ¹⁸What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
