Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons.
2. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.
3. I thank my God every time I remember you.
4. I always make every one of my prayers for all of you with joy.
5. for your participation in the gospel from the first day until now
6. I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.
7. It is fitting for me to think this way about all of you, since I hold you in my heart both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, all of you being partners with me in grace.
8. For God is my witness how I long for all of you in the compassion of Christ Jesus.
9. And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment.
10. so that you may approve what excels, and so be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ
11. Filled with the fruit of righteousness through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12. Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have rather advanced the gospel.
13. so that my bonds in Christ became known to the whole praetorian guard and to all the others,
14. And most of the brothers in the Lord, confident because of my bonds, dare even more fearlessly to speak the word.
15. Some indeed proclaim Christ even because of envy and strife, but others also because of good pleasure.
16. These indeed, out of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel.
17. But these out of contention proclaim Christ not sincerely, thinking to stir up affliction for my bonds.
18. What of it? Only that in every manner, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice, but also will rejoice.
19. For I know that this will work out for my salvation through your supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
20. According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21. For me, living is Christ, and dying is gain.
22. But if I live in the flesh, this will be fruit from my work for me; yet what I will choose I do not know.
23. But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
24. But to continue in the flesh is more necessary on account of you.
25. And confident of this, I know that I will remain and stay with you all for your progress and joy in the faith.
26. so that your boasting in Christ Jesus about me may abound through my coming to you again.
27. Only live worthily of Christ's gospel, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear about you that you stand in one spirit, with one soul striving together for the faith of the gospel.
28. And do not be frightened by those who oppose you in any way, which is to them a sign of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29. Because it has been granted to you for Christ's sake, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
30. having the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear in me.
