F. Weymouth + + + + +Book 50 Philippians + +001:001 Paul and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus: To all God's + people in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the ministers + of the Church and their assistants. + +001:002 May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father + and the Lord Jesus Christ. + +001:003 I thank my God at my every remembrance of you-- + +001:004 always when offering any prayer on behalf of you all, + finding a joy in offering it. + +001:005 I thank my God, I say, for your cooperation in spreading + the Good News, from the time it first came to you even until now. + +001:006 For of this I am confident, that He who has begun a good work + within you will go on to perfect it in preparation for the day + of Jesus Christ. + +001:007 And I am justified in having this confidence about you all, + because, both during my imprisonment and when I stand + up in defence of the Good News or to confirm its truth, + I have you in my heart, sharers as you all are in the same + grace as myself. + +001:008 For God is my witness how I yearn over all of you with + tender Christian affection. + +001:009 And it is my prayer that your love may be more and more + accompanied by clear knowledge and keen perception, for testing + things that differ, + +001:010 so that you may be men of transparent character, and may + be blameless, in preparation for the day of Christ, + +001:011 being filled with these fruits of righteousness which come + through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God. + +001:012 Now I would have you know, brethren, that what I have gone + through has turned out to the furtherance of the Good News + rather than otherwise. + +001:013 And thus it has become notorious among all the Imperial Guards, + and everywhere, that it is for the sake of Christ that I + am a prisoner; + +001:014 and the greater part of the brethren, made confident in the Lord + through my imprisonment, now speak of God's Message without fear, + more boldly than ever. + +001:015 Some indeed actually preach Christ out of envy and contentiousness + but there are also others who do it from good will. + +001:016 These latter preach Him from love to me, knowing that I am + here for the defence of the Good News; + +001:017 while the others proclaim Him from motives of rivalry, + and insincerely, supposing that by this they are + embittering my imprisonment. + +001:018 What does it matter, however? In any case Christ is preached-- + either perversely or in honest truth; and in that I rejoice, + yes, and will rejoice. + +001:019 For I know that it will result in my salvation through your + prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, + +001:020 in fulfilment of my eager expectation and hope that I shall + never have reason to feel ashamed, but that by my perfect + freedom of speech Christ will be glorified in me, now as always, + either by my life or by my death. + +001:021 For, with me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. + +001:022 But since to live means a longer stay on earth, that implies + more labour for me--and not unsuccessful labour; and which I + am to choose I cannot tell. + +001:023 I am in a dilemma, my earnest desire being to depart and be + with Christ, for that is far, far better. + +001:024 But for your sakes it is more important that I should still + remain in the body. + +001:025 I am convinced of this, and I know that I shall remain, + and shall go on working side by side with you all, to promote + your progress and joy in the faith; + +001:026 so that, as Christians, you may have additional reason for + glorying about me as the result of my being with you again. + +001:027 Only let the lives you live be worthy of the Good News of the Christ, + in order that, whether I come and see you or, being absent, + only hear of you, I may know that you are standing fast + in one spirit and with one mind, fighting shoulder to shoulder + for the faith of the Good News. + +001:028 Never for a moment quail before your antagonists. Your fearlessness + will be to them a sure token of impending destruction, + but to you it will be a sure token of your salvation-- + a token coming from God. + +001:029 For you have had the privilege granted you on behalf of Christ-- + not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf; + +001:030 maintaining, as you do, the same kind of conflict that you once + saw in me and which you still hear that I am engaged in. + +002:001 If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, + if there is any persuasive power in love and any common + sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness + and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind, + +002:002 united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds + to one and the same object. + +002:003 Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, + with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being + of more account than himself; + +002:004 each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, + but on those of others also. + +002:005 Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus. + +002:006 Although from the beginning He had the nature of God He did not + reckon His equality with God a treasure to be tightly grasped. + +002:007 Nay, He stripped Himself of His glory, and took on Him the nature + of a bondservant by becoming a man like other men. + +002:008 And being recognized as truly human, He humbled Himself + and even stooped to die; yes, to die on a cross. + +002:009 It is in consequence of this that God has also so highly + exalted Him, and has conferred on Him the Name which is supreme + above every other, + +002:010 in order that in the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, + of beings in Heaven, of those on the earth, and of those + in the underworld, + +002:011 and that every tongue should confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, + to the glory of God the Father. + +002:012 Therefore, my dearly-loved friends, as I have always found + you obedient, labour earnestly with fear and trembling-- + not merely as though I were present with you, but much more + now since I am absent from you--labour earnestly, I say, + to make sure of your own salvation. + +002:013 For it is God Himself whose power creates within you the desire + to do His gracious will and also brings about the accomplishment + of the desire. + +002:014 Be ever on your guard against a grudging and contentious spirit, + +002:015 so that you may always prove yourselves to be blameless and spotless-- + irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked + and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as heavenly + lights in the world, + +002:016 holding out to them a Message of Life. It will then be my glory + on the day of Christ that I did not run my race in vain nor + toil in vain. + +002:017 Nay, even if my life is to be poured as a libation upon + the sacrificial offering of your faith, I rejoice, and I + congratulate you all. + +002:018 And I bid you also share my gladness, and congratulate me. + +002:019 But, if the Lord permits it, I hope before long to send + Timothy to you, that I, in turn, may be cheered by getting + news of you. + +002:020 For I have no one likeminded with him, who will cherish + a genuine care for you. + +002:021 Everybody concerns himself about his own interests, not about + those of Jesus Christ. + +002:022 But you know Timothy's approved worth--how, like a child + working with his father, he has served with me in furtherance + of the Good News. + +002:023 So it is he that I hope to send as soon as ever I see how things + go with me; + +002:024 but trusting, as I do, in the Lord, I believe that I shall + myself also come to you before long. + +002:025 Yet I deem it important to send Epaphroditus to you now-- + he is my brother and comrade both in labour and in arms, + and is your messenger who has ministered to my needs. + +002:026 I send him because he is longing to see you all and is distressed + at your having heard of his illness. + +002:027 For it is true that he has been ill, and was apparently at + the point of death; but God had pity on him, and not only on him, + but also on me, to save me from having sorrow upon sorrow. + +002:028 I am therefore all the more eager to send him, in the hope + that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have + the less sorrow. + +002:029 Receive him therefore with heartfelt Christian joy, and hold + in honour men like him; + +002:030 because it was for the sake of Christ's work that he came so + near death, hazarding, as he did, his very life in endeavouring + to make good any deficiency that there might be in your + gifts to me. + +003:001 In conclusion, my brethren, be joyful in the Lord. For me + to give you the same warnings as before is not irksome to me, + while so far as you are concerned it is a safe precaution. + +003:002 Beware of `the dogs,' the bad workmen, the self-mutilators. + +003:003 For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God + a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus + and have no confidence in outward ceremonies: + +003:004 although I myself might have some excuse for confidence in + outward ceremonies. If any one else claims a right to trust + in them, far more may I: + +003:005 circumcised, as I was, on the eighth day, a member of the race + of Israel and of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew sprung + from Hebrews; as to the Law a Pharisee; + +003:006 as to zeal, a persecutor of the Church; as to the righteousness + which comes through Law, blameless. + +003:007 Yet all that was gain to me--for Christ's sake I have + reckoned it loss. + +003:008 Nay, I even reckon all things as pure loss because of + the priceless privilege of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. + And for His sake I have suffered the loss of everything, + and reckon it all as mere refuse, in order that I may win + Christ and be found in union with Him, + +003:009 not having a righteousness of my own, derived from the Law, + but that which arises from faith in Christ--the righteousness + which comes from God through faith. + +003:010 I long to know Christ and the power which is in His resurrection, + and to share in His sufferings and die even as He died; + +003:011 in the hope that I may attain to the resurrection from + among the dead. + +003:012 I do not say that I have already won the race or have already + reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay + hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me. + +003:013 Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. + But this one thing I do--forgetting everything which is past + and stretching forward to what lies in front of me, + +003:014 with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize + of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus. + +003:015 Therefore let all of us who are mature believers cherish + these thoughts; and if in any respect you think differently, + that also God will make clear to you. + +003:016 But whatever be the point that we have already reached, + let us persevere in the same course. + +003:017 Brethren, vie with one another in imitating me, and carefully + observe those who follow the example which we have set you. + +003:018 For there are many whom I have often described to you, + and I now even with tears describe them, as being enemies + to the Cross of Christ. + +003:019 Their end is destruction, their bellies are their God, + their glory is in their shame, and their minds are devoted + to earthly things. + +003:020 We, however, are free citizens of Heaven, and we are waiting + with longing expectation for the coming from Heaven of a Saviour, + the Lord Jesus Christ, + +003:021 who, in the exercise of the power which He has even to subject + all things to Himself, will transform this body of our + humiliation until it resembles His own glorious body. + +004:001 Therefore, my brethren, dearly loved and longed for, my joy + and crown, so stand firm in the Lord, my dearly-loved ones. + +004:002 I entreat Euodia, and I entreat Syntyche, to be of one mind, + as sisters in Christ. + +004:003 Yes, and I beg you also, my faithful yoke-fellow, to help these + women who have shared my toil in connection with the Good News, + together with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, + whose names are recorded in the Book of Life. + +004:004 Always be glad in the Lord: I will repeat it, be glad. + +004:005 Let your forbearing spirit be known to every one-- + the Lord is near. + +004:006 Do not be over-anxious about anything, but by prayer and + earnest pleading, together with thanksgiving, let your request + be unreservedly made known in the presence of God. + +004:007 And then the peace of God, which transcends all our powers + of thought, will be a garrison to guard your hearts and minds + in union with Christ Jesus. + +004:008 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever wins respect, + whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovable, + whatever is of good repute--if there is any virtue or anything + deemed worthy of praise--cherish the thought of these things. + +004:009 The doctrines and the line of conduct which I taught you-- + both what you heard and what you saw in me--hold fast to them; + and God who gives peace will be with you. + +004:010 But I rejoice with a deep and holy joy that now at length + you have revived your thoughtfulness for my welfare. + Indeed you have always been thoughtful for me, although + opportunity failed you. + +004:011 I do not refer to this through fear of privation, for (for my part) + I have learned, whatever be my outward experiences, + to be content. + +004:012 I know both how to live in humble circumstances and how to live + amid abundance. I am fully initiated into all the mysteries + both of fulness and of hunger, of abundance and of want. + +004:013 I have strength for anything through Him who gives me power. + +004:014 Yet I thank you for taking your share in my troubles. + +004:015 And you men and women of Philippi also know that at the first + preaching of the Good News, when I had left Macedonia, + no other Church except yourselves held communication with me + about giving and receiving; + +004:016 because even in Thessalonica you sent several times to minister + to my needs. + +004:017 Not that I crave for gifts from you, but I do want to see + abundant fruit bring you honour. + +004:018 I have enough of everything--and more than enough. + My wants are fully satisfied now that I have received + from the hands of Epaphroditus the generous gifts which you + sent me--they are a fragrant odor, an acceptable sacrifice, + truly pleasing to God. + +004:019 But my God--so great is His wealth of glory in Christ Jesus-- + will fully supply every need of yours. + +004:020 And to our God and Father be the glory throughout the Ages + of the Ages! Amen. + +004:021 My Christian greetings to every one of God's people. + The brethren who are with me send their greetings. + +004:022 All God's people here greet you--especially the members + of Caesar's household. + +004:023 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirits. + + + + + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Weymouth New Testament in Modern +Speech, Philippians, by R.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
