腓立比书 第 1 章
1基督耶稣的仆人保罗和提摩太写信给凡住腓立比、在基督耶稣里的众圣徒，和诸位监督，诸位执事。
1Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
2愿恩惠、平安从神我们的父并主耶稣基督归与你们！
2Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
6我深信那在你们心里动了善工的，必成全这工，直到耶稣基督的日子。
6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
7我为你们众人有这样的意念，原是应当的；因你们常在我心里，无论我是在捆锁之中，是辩明证实福音的时候，你们都与我一同得恩。
7Even 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.
8我体会基督耶稣的心肠，切切地想念你们众人；这是神可以给我作见证的。
8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
9我所祷告的，就是要你们的爱心在知识和各样见识上多而又多，
9And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
10使你们能分别是非，作诚实无过的人，直到基督的日子；
10That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
11并靠着耶稣基督结满了仁义的果子，叫荣耀称赞归与神。
11Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
12弟兄们，我愿意你们知道，我所遭遇的事更是叫福音兴旺，
12But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
13以致我受的捆锁在御营全军和其余的人中，已经显明是为基督的缘故。
13So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
14并且那在主里的弟兄多半因我受的捆锁就笃信不疑，越发放胆传神的道，无所惧怕。
14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15有的传基督是出于嫉妒纷争，也有的是出于好意。
15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16这一等是出于爱心，知道我是为辩明福音设立的；
16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17那一等传基督是出于结党，并不诚实，意思要加增我捆锁的苦楚。
17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18这有何妨呢？或是假意，或是真心，无论怎样，基督究竟被传开了。为此，我就欢喜，并且还要欢喜；
18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
19因为我知道，这事借着你们的祈祷和耶稣基督之灵的帮助，终必叫我得救。
19For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20照着我所切慕、所盼望的，没有一事叫我羞愧。只要凡事放胆，无论是生是死，总叫基督在我身上照常显大。
20According 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.
22但我在肉身活着，若成就我工夫的果子，我就不知道该挑选什么。
22But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23我正在两难之间，情愿离世与基督同在，因为这是好得无比的。
23For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
25我既然这样深信，就知道仍要住在世间，且与你们众人同住，使你们在所信的道上又长进又喜乐，
25And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
26叫你们在基督耶稣里的欢乐，因我再到你们那里去，就越发加增。
26That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
27只要你们行事为人与基督的福音相称，叫我或来见你们，或不在你们那里，可以听见你们的景况，知道你们同有一个心志，站立得稳，为所信的福音齐心努力。
27Only 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;
28凡事不怕敌人的惊吓，这是证明他们沉沦，你们得救都是出于神。
28And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
