{\MT PHILIPPIANS



\par }\ChapOne{CHAPTER 1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the holy men in Christ Jesus, that be at Philippi, with bishops and deacons,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}grace and peace to you of God our Father, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}I do thankings to my God in all mind of you


\par }{\PP \VS{4}evermore in all my prayers for all you with joy, and make beseeching


\par }{\PP \VS{5}on your communing in the gospel of Christ, from the first day till now;


\par }{\PP \VS{6}trusting this same thing, that he that began in you a good work, shall perform
{\EM{it}} till into the day of Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}As it is just to me to feel this thing for all you, for that I have you in heart, and in my bonds, and in defending and confirming of the gospel, that all ye be fellows of my joy.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}For God is a witness to me, how I covet all you in the bowels of Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}And this thing I pray, that your charity be plenteous more and more in knowing
{\ADD{[or in science]}}, and in all wit;


\par }{\PP \VS{10}that ye approve the better things, that ye be clean and without offence in the day of Christ;


\par }{\PP \VS{11}{\ADD{[full]}}-filled with the fruit of rightwiseness by Jesus Christ, into the glory and praising of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}For, brethren, I will that ye know, that the things that be about me have come more to the profit of the gospel,


\par }{\PP \VS{13}so that my bonds were made known in Christ, in each moot hall, and in all other places;


\par }{\PP \VS{14}that more of
{\ADD{[the]}} brethren trusting in the Lord more plenteously for my bonds, durst without dread speak the word of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}But some for envy and strife, some for good will, preach Christ;


\par }{\PP \VS{16}and some of charity, witting that I am put in the defence of the gospel.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}But some of strife
{\ADD{[or of contention]}} show Christ not cleanly, guessing them to raise tribulation to my bonds.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}But what? while on all manner, either by occasion, either by truth, Christ is showed; and in this thing I have joy, but also I shall have joy.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And I know, that this thing shall come to me into health, by your prayer, and the underministering of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,


\par }{\PP \VS{20}by mine abiding and hope. For in nothing I shall be ashamed, but in all trust as evermore and now, Christ shall be magnified in my body, either by life, either by death.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}For
{\ADD{[to]}} me to live is Christ, and to die is winning.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}That if to live in flesh,
{\ADD{[this]}} is fruit of work to me, lo! what I shall choose, I know not.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}But I am constrained of two things, I have desire to be departed
{\ADD{[from the body]}}, and to be with Christ,
{\EM{it is}} much more better;


\par }{\PP \VS{24}but to dwell in flesh, is needful for you.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And I trusting this thing, know that I shall dwell, and perfectly dwell to all you, to your profit and joy of faith,


\par }{\PP \VS{26}that your thanking abound in Christ Jesus in me, by my coming again to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}Only live ye worthily to the gospel of Christ, that whether when I come and see you, either absent I hear of you, that ye stand in one spirit of one will, travailing together to the faith of the gospel.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}And in nothing be ye afeared of adversaries, which is to them cause of perdition, but to you
{\EM{a cause}} of health. And this thing
{\EM{is}} of God.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}For it is given to you for Christ, that not only ye believe in him, but also that ye suffer for him;


\par }{\PP \VS{30}having the same strife, which ye saw in me, and now ye have heard of me.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Therefore if any comfort
{\EM{is}} in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing,


\par }{\PP \VS{2}{\ADD{[ful]}} fill ye my joy, that ye under-stand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing;


\par }{\PP \VS{3}nothing
{\ADD{[doing]}} by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher
{\ADD{[in virtue]}} than himself;


\par }{\PP \VS{4}not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}And feel ye this thing in you, which
{\EM{was}} also in Christ Jesus;


\par }{\PP \VS{6}which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God
{\ADD{[or himself to be even to God]}},


\par }{\PP \VS{7}but he lowed
{\ADD{[or meeked]}} himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,


\par }{\PP \VS{8}and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name;


\par }{\PP \VS{10}that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things,
{\ADD{[and]}} of earthly things, and of hell’s;


\par }{\PP \VS{11}and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Therefore, my most dearworthy
{\EM{brethren}}, as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}For it is God that worketh in you, both to will, and to perform, for good will.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}And do ye all things without grutchings, and doubtings;


\par }{\PP \VS{15}that ye be without complaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a shrewd nation and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}But though I be offered or slain on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}And for the same thing have ye joy, and
{\ADD{[together]}} thank ye me.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you, that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}But know ye the assay of him, for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, anon as I see what things be about me.


\par }{\PP \VS{24}And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.


\par }{\PP \VS{25}And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.


\par }{\PP \VS{26}For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.


\par }{\PP \VS{27}For he was sick to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness.


\par }{\PP \VS{28}Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.


\par }{\PP \VS{29}Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with
{\EM{all}} honour.


\par }{\PP \VS{30}For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Henceforward, my brethren, have ye joy in the Lord. To write to you the same things, to me
{\EM{it is}} not slow, and to you
{\EM{it is}} necessary.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}See ye hounds, see ye evil work-men, see ye division
{\ADD{[or concision]}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}For we be circumcision, which by Spirit serve to God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have not trust in the flesh,


\par }{\PP \VS{4}though I have trust, yea, in the flesh. If any other man is seen to trust in the flesh, I more,


\par }{\PP \VS{5}that was circumcised in the eighth day, of the kin
{\ADD{[or the kindred]}} of Israel, of the lineage of Benjamin, an Hebrew of Hebrews, by the law a Pharisee,


\par }{\PP \VS{6}by love pursuing the church of God, by rightwiseness that is in the law living without complaint.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}But which things were to me winnings, I have deemed these impairings for Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}Nevertheless I guess all things to be impairment for the clear science of Jesus Christ my Lord. For whom I made all things impairment, and I deem as drit
{\ADD{[or as turds]}}, that I win Christ,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}and that I be found in him, not having my rightwiseness that is of the law, but that that is of the faith of Christ Jesus, that is of God the right-wiseness in faith,


\par }{\PP \VS{10}to know him, and the virtue of his rising again, and the fellowship of his passion, and to be made like
{\ADD{[or configured]}} to his death,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}if on any manner I come to the resurrection that is from death.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Not that now I have taken, or now I am perfect; but I pursue, if in any manner I comprehend
{\ADD{[or I take]}} in which thing also I am compre-hended of Jesus Christ.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}Brethren, I deem me not that I have comprehended; but one thing, I forget those things that be behind, and stretching forth myself to those things that be before,


\par }{\PP \VS{14}and pursue to the ordained meed
{\ADD{[or to the prize]}} of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Therefore whoever we be perfect, feel we this thing. And if ye under-stand in other manner anything, this thing God shall show to you.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Nevertheless to what thing we have come, that we understand the same thing, and that we perfectly dwell in the same rule.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Brethren, be ye my followers, and wait ye them that walk so, as ye have our form.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}For many walk, which I have said oft to you, but now I weeping say,
{\ADD{[them]}}, the enemies of Christ’s cross,


\par }{\PP \VS{19}whose end
{\EM{is}} death, whose god is the womb, and the glory in
{\ADD{[the]}} confusion of them, that savour
{\ADD{[or that understand]}} earthly things.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}But our living is in heavens
{\ADD{[or in heaven]}}; from whence also we abide the Saviour our Lord Jesus Christ,


\par }{\PP \VS{21}which shall reform the body of our meekness,
{\EM{that is}} made like
{\ADD{[or configured]}} to the body of his clearness, by the working by which he may also make all things subject to him.




\par }\Chap{CHAPTER 4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Therefore, my brethren most dear-worthy and most desired, my joy and my crown, so stand ye in the Lord, most dear
{\EM{brethren}}.


\par }{\PP \VS{2}I pray Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, to understand the same thing in the Lord.


\par }{\PP \VS{3}Also I pray and thee, germane fellow, help thou those
{\EM{women}} that travailed with me in the gospel, with Clement and other mine helpers, whose names be in the book of life.


\par }{\PP \VS{4}Joy ye in the Lord evermore; again I say, joy ye.


\par }{\PP \VS{5}Be your patience
{\ADD{[or your temperance]}} known to all men; the Lord is nigh.


\par }{\PP \VS{6}Be ye nothing busy, but in all prayer and beseeching, with doing of thankings, be your askings known at God.


\par }{\PP \VS{7}And the peace of God, that passeth all wit, keep your hearts and understandings in Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{8}From henceforth, brethren, what-ever things be sooth, whatever things chaste, whatever things just, whatever things holy, whatever things able to be loved,
{\ADD{[or amiable, or lovable]}}, whatever things of good fame, if any virtue, if any praising of discipline, think ye these things,


\par }{\PP \VS{9}that also ye have learned, and taken, and heard, and seen in me. Do ye these things, and God of peace shall be with you.


\par }{\PP \VS{10}But I joyed greatly in the Lord, that sometime afterward ye flowered again to feel for me, as also ye feeled. But ye were occupied,


\par }{\PP \VS{11}I say not as for need, for I have learned to be sufficient in which things I am.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}And I know also how to be lowed,
{\ADD{[or how to be bowed, or meeked]}}, I know also how to have plenty
{\ADD{[or how to abound]}}. Every-where and in all things I am taught to be
{\ADD{[full]}}-filled, and to hunger, and to abound, and to suffer mis-ease.


\par }{\PP \VS{13}I may all things in him that comforteth me.


\par }{\PP \VS{14}Nevertheless ye have done well, communing to my tribulation.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}For ye, Philippians, know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went forth from Macedonia, no church communed with me in reason, of thing given and taken, but ye alone.


\par }{\PP \VS{16}Which sent to Thessalonica once and twice also into use to me.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Not for I seek gift, but I require,
{\ADD{[or seek again]}}, fruit abounding in your reason.


\par }{\PP \VS{18}For I have all things, and abound; I am
{\ADD{[full]}}-filled
{\ADD{[or replete]}} with those things taken of Epaphroditus, which ye sent into the odour of sweetness, a covenable sacrifice, pleasing to God.


\par }{\PP \VS{19}And my God
{\ADD{[ful]}}fill all your desire, by his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}But to God and our Father be glory into worlds of worlds. Amen.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}Greet ye well every holy
{\EM{man}} in Christ Jesus. Those brethren that be with me, greet you well.


\par }{\PP \VS{22}All holy men greet you well, most soothly they that be of the emperor’s
{\ADD{[or of Caesar’s]}} house.


\par }{\PP \VS{23}The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
