2 May our father God and our master Yeshua Messiah grant grace to you all and fill you with peace.

1:3 Paul’s thanking and praying

3 I thank my God every time that I hear you mentioned 4 and every time that I pray for you all, I’m always glad when I make my requests 5 because the good message united us in fellowship from the first day until now. 6 I’m sure of this: that the one who started a good work in you all will ensure that it’s continued through to the day of the return of Messiah Yeshua. 7 It’s right for me to be thinking this about you because I have you all in my heart. You received grace along with me so whether I’m in chains or defending and confirming the good message, we are fellow recipients. 8 God is my witness that I long for you with all the compassions of Messiah Yeshua.

9 And this is what I’m praying: that your love would grow more and more with knowledge and all insight 10 so that you all will approve what’s of value and so remain sincere and blameless until Messiah returns, 11 having been filled with the fruit of righteousness through Yeshua Messiah, honouring and praising God.

3 I _am _giving _thanks to _the god of _me on every the mentioning of _you _all, 4 always in every petition of _me for all of _you, with joy the petition making, 5 for the fellowship of _you _all in the good _message, from the first day until the time now, 6 having _persuaded same thing this, that the one having _begun in you _all a_work good, will _be _accomplishing it until the_day of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous, 7 as it _is right for _me this to _be _thinking about all of _you, because _of that to _be _having me in my heart you _all, in both the bonds of _me, and in the defense and confirmation of _the good _message, fellow-partakers with _me of _the grace all you _all being.
8 For/Because witness of _me the god is, how I _am _longing _for all you _all in the_compassions of_chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa).
9 And this I _am _praying, that the love of _you _all still more and more may _be _being _plentiful in knowledge and all insight, 10 in _order that to _be _approving you _all the things carrying _value, in _order _that you _all _may _be sincere and inoffensive to the_day of_chosen _one /messiah, 11 having _been _filled with_the_fruit of _righteousness which through Yaʸsous chosen _one /messiah, to the_glory and praise of_god.

1:12 Paul’s happiness that Messiah is proclaimed

12 Brothers and sisters, I want you to know that the good message has progressed more because of what’s happened to me, 13 [ref]in that my being in chains because of Messiah, has become known in the governor’s residence and to all the rest. 14 Now, because of my imprisonment, more of the brothers and sisters in the master have become much more daring to fearlessly tell others God’s message.

15 Some do proclaim Messiah because of envy and strife, but others do it from their good will. 16 The ones proclaiming Messiah out of selfish ambition don’t do it sincerely, but expect that it will add to my troubles while I’m here in chains. 17 The ones who do it out of love, know that I was appointed to defend the good message.

18 What then? I will be happy, excited even, as long as Messiah is being proclaimed in any manner, whether their reason for doing it is suspect or in truth. 19 I know that this will turn out to be my SALVATION/DELIVERANCE due to your prayers and from the resources of the spirit of Yeshua Messiah, 20 as my eager expectation and hope is that I won’t be ashamed of anything, but that Messiah will be magnified by my life, always in boldness and even now whether I go on to live or to die, 21 because to me, to live is to serve Messiah, and to die is to also gain. 22 If I continue to live in this body, I can continue in productive work, but I don’t really know which is my preference. 23 I feel squeezed between the two: the desire to depart from here and be with Messiah which would be much better, 24 or to remain on in this body, which is maybe more necessary because of all of you. 25 Yes, I’m convinced: I know that I should remain in this world and continue with you all to assist in the progress of your faith and the happiness that comes from that, 26 so that when I come to visit you again, I’ll hear your pride in how you are all growing in Messiah Yeshua.

27 Live as citizen who’re worthy of the good message of Messiah, so that whether I’m able to come and see you all, or even if I’m absent, I’ll be able to hear everything about you all: that you’re standing firm in one spirit, with one heart contending together for the faith of the good message 28 and not being frightened about anything because of those in opposition. That will be a sign to them that they will face destruction but you all will receive salvation from God, 29 because it’s been granted to you on Messiah’s behalf for you to believe in him, yet also to suffer because of him—30 [ref]the same struggle that you all saw in me, and now hear it from me.

1:1: Acts 16:12.

1:13: Acts 28:30.

1:30: Acts 16:19-40.

12 And to _be _knowing you _all, I _am _wishing, brothers, that the things concerning me, more to the_progress of _the good _message has _come, 13 so _as the bonds of _me manifest in chosen _one /messiah to _become, in all the residence _of _the _governor and to _the rest all, 14 and the more of _the brothers in the_master having _trusted by _the bonds of _me, more _abundantly to _be _daring fearlessly the message of_ the _god to _be _speaking.
15 Some on _one _hand even because _of envy and strife, on _the _other _hand some also because _of goodwill the chosen _one /messiah are _proclaiming.
16 The ones on _the _other _hand out _of selfish _ambition the chosen _one /messiah are _proclaiming, not purely supposing tribulation to _be _raising to _the bonds of _me.
17 The ones indeed from love having _known that for defense of _the good _message I _am _appointing, 18 for what?
Except that in _every manner, whether in _under _pretense or in _truth, chosen _one /messiah is _being _proclaimed, and in this I _am _rejoicing, but also I _will _be _being _elated.
19 I _have _known for that this for _me will _be _turning _out to salvation through the of _you _all petition, and of_the_supply of _the spirit of_Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen _one /messiah, 20 according _to the eager _expectation and hope of _me, that in nothing I _will _be _being _ashamed, but in all boldness, as always also now, will _be _being _magnified chosen _one /messiah in the body of _me, whether by life or by death.
21 For/Because to _me which to _be _living is chosen _one /messiah, and which to _die _off is gain.
22 But if which to _be _living in the_flesh, this for _me is the_fruit of _work.
And what I _will _be _choosing not I _am _making _known.
23 I _am _being _pressed and by the two, the desire having in _order that to _depart and with chosen _one /messiah to _be, because/for by _much more better, 24 but which to _be _remaining _on in the flesh, more _necessary because _of you _all.
25 And this having _persuaded, I _have _known that I _will _be _remaining and I _will _be _continuing _with with _all you _all for the of _you _all progress and joy of _the faith, 26 in _order _that the boast of _you _all may _be _being _plentiful in chosen _one /messiah Yaʸsous in me, through the my coming again to you _all.
27 Only worthily of _the good _message of _the chosen _one /messiah be _living _as _citizen, in _order _that whether having _come and having _seen you _all, or being _absent, I _may _be _hearing the things concerning you _all, that you _all _are _standing _firm in one with _one, spirit heart contending _together for _the faith of _the good _message, 28 and not being _frightened in nothing by the ones opposing, which is to _them a_sign of _destruction, but to _you _all of _salvation, and this from god, 29 because to _you _all it _was _granted which concerning chosen _one /messiah, not only which on him to _be _believing, but also which concerning him to _be _suffering, 30 the same struggle having, such _as you _all _saw in me, and now are _hearing in me.
