Phillipians Flashcards
Philippians 1:1 ESV
Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
Philippians 1:2 ESV
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:3 ESV
I thank my God in all my remembrance of you
Philippians 1:4 ESV
always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy
Philippians 1:5 ESV
because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
Philippians 1:6 ESV
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ
Philippians 1:7 ESV
It is right for me to feel this way about you all, because I hold you in my heart, for you are all partakers with me of grace, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel.
Philippians 1:8 ESV
For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus
Philippians 1:9 ESV
And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment,
Philippians 1:10 ESV
so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,
Philippians 1:11 ESV
filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:12 ESV
I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,
Philippians 1:13 ESV
so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ.
Philippians 1:14 ESV
And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Philippians 1:15 ESV
Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.
Philippians 1:16 ESV
The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
Philippians 1:17 ESV
The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment.
Philippians 1:18 ESV
What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
Philippians 1:19 ESV
for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance,
Philippians 1:20 ESV
as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.
Philippians 1:21 ESV
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:22 ESV
If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell.
Philippians 1:23 ESV
I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better.
Philippians 1:24 ESV
But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
