1From Sha'ul and Timotiyos, servants of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua; To all the Kedoshim in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua who are in the city of Philippi with the supervising mashgichim ruchaniyim (spiritual overseers, zekenim, mivakkerim, supervisors) and the klei kodesh (ministers), the ministering messianic shammashim.
2Chen v'chesed Hashem and shalom Hashem from Elohim Avinu and Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
3Modeh Ani (I thank) my G-d upon every zikaron (remembrance) of you, 4Always in every tefillah of mine on behalf of all of you, davening with simcha, making techinnah (supplication) 5In view of your deveykus Hashem, your chavrusa partnership in the Besuras HaGeulah from day one until now. 6Being convinced of this: that He who began a pe'ulah hatovah#1:6 Pp 2:13 (good work) in you, will bring that mitzvoh to completion#1:6 Ps 138:8 by Yom Hashem, the Yom Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua.#1:6 Pp 1:10; 2:16 7It is in fact b'tzedek for me to have hitbonenut (profound contemplation) about you all because I hold you in my lev with hartzige (heartfelt) sincerity, both in regard to my sharsherot (prison chains) and in the apologetic hitstaddekut (defense) and vindicatory work for the Besuras HaGeulah, you being all deveykus (attachment to G-d) participators in the Chen v'Chesed Hashem given to me. 8For der Oybershter is mine eidus (G-d is my witness) how I yearn for all of you with the ahavas Moshiach Yehoshua. 9And my tefillah (prayer) is this, that your ahavah (love)#1:9 in Moshiach may yet increase more and more in profound da'as and binah, 10To help you approve the feste (excellent) things of musar (moral discipline) that matter, that you may be sincere and without michshol (stumbling block) of blame#1:10 2:15 in the Yom HaMoshiach,#1:10 1:6; 2:16 11Having been filled with the p'ri Tzedek (fruit of righteousness) through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to the kavod Hashem and His tiferet (splendor).
12I want you to have da'as, Achim b'Moshiach, that the things concerning me have fallen out to an even greater advancement#1:12 Pp 1:25 of the Besuras HaGeulah.#1:12 2Ti 2:9 13So that my sharsherot#1:13 Pp 1:7 (chains) have become a hisgalus (revelation) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach! In all the imperial guard and the public at large! 14And most of the Achim b'Adoneinu, having been strengthened in bitachon by my sharsherot (chains), are more readily willing to dare to fearlessly proclaim the Dvar Hashem.
15Indeed some darshanim (preachers) preach their derashot (sermons) out of a ruach that is mekanne (jealous, envious) and one of madon (strife); but some have derashot proclaiming Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and these darshanim have kavvanah tovah (good intention). 16These latter proclaim Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach out of a ruach of ahavah, having da'as that the purpose of my divinely destined appointment here is for the hitstaddekut (apologetic defense) of the Besuras HaGeulah. 17But those other ones preach Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach out of anochiyut#1:17 Pp 2:3 (selfishness), not with a lev tahor (pure in heart) motive, lu yetzuuyar (assuming) by means of my sharsherot#1:17 Pp 1:13-14 to stir up tzoros. 18Nu? Whether the maggidim are or are not perfect in their intent, the significant thing is that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is preached!
And in this I have simcha. And I will go right on having simcha! 19For, I have da'as that through your tefillos for me and through the ezrah (aid) given by the Ruach Moshiach, this will turn out for my Yeshu'ah (rescue, salvation).#1:19 Pp 1:28; 2:12; Ro 8:28 20It is my confident tikvah that in nothing I will be put to bushah (shame), but with all ometz lev#1:20 Josh 1:7 (courage, boldness) as always, even now, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will be magnified in my basar,#1:20 Pp 1:13 whether through Chayyim (Life) or through Mavet (Death). 21For to me to live is Moshiach#1:21 Ga 2:20 and to die is revach (gain, profit, hanaa). 22But if it means I am to go on living in the basar, this for me is p'ri for Hashem in the work of avodas kodesh ministry. What will I choose? I do not have da'as, 23I am kleir (deliberating). I am pulled two drakhim (ways) by a happy dilemma, on the one tzad (side) having the desire to depart and be with Moshiach, for this is much better.#1:23 2C 5:8 24But on the other tzad (side) to remain in the basar is more necessary for your sake. 25And having been convinced of this fact, I have da'as that I blaib (remain, continue unchanged) and will continue with all of you, for your advancement#1:25 Pp 1:12 and simcha of the#1:25 Orthodox Jewish Emunah,#1:25 cf. 1:27; 1Ti 3:9; 4:1,6; 5:8; 6:10,21; Yd 3 26With the ultimate aim that by coming to you again your glorying may abound in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
27Only one thing: conduct in practice your torat haEzrakhut#1:27 see Pp 3:20 (citizenship) worthily of the Besuras HaGeulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear concerning you that you are standing like a ma'oz (fortress, bastion) in one ruach, with one neshamah, contending for the Emunah#1:27 Yd 3; Pp 4:3 of the Besuras HaGeulah. 28And, I might add, not having pachad (fear, terror) in reaction to anything as far as the mitnaggedim (the ones opposing) are concerned, which is a proof to them of their churban (destruction), but of your Yeshu'ah#1:28 Pp 1:19; 2:12 (salvation ), and this from Hashem. 29For to you it was given on behalf of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, not only to have emunah in him but also on behalf of him to be laden with the burden of Messianic yissurim#1:29 Pp 3:10 (sufferings), 30With you having the same struggle, which you saw in me#1:30 Ac 16:22 and now hear to be in me.#1:30 Pp 1:13

Acts 16.1,12-40; Rom 1.1; 2 Cor 1.1; Gal 1.10; Col 1.1; 1 Thess 1.1; 2 Thess 1.1; Philem 1. Paul and Timothy, servants#1.1 Or slaves of Christ Jesus,
To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the bishops#1.1 Or overseers and deacons:

Rom 1.7. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, 4always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, 5thankful for your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. 6#1 Cor 1.8. And I am sure that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. 7#Acts 21.33; 2 Cor 7.3; Eph 6.20. It is right for me to feel thus 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. 8For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. 9And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, 10so that you may approve what is excellent, and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11filled with the fruits of righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Lk 21.13. I want you to know, brethren, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13#Acts 28.30; 2 Tim 2.9. so that it has become known throughout the whole praetorian guard#1.13 Greek in the whole praetorium and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ; 14and most of the brethren have been made confident in the Lord because of my imprisonment, and are much more bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel; 17the former proclaim Christ out of partisanship, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in that I rejoice.
19 #
Acts 16.7; 2 Cor 1.11. Yes, and I shall rejoice. For I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, 20#Rom 14.8. as it is my eager expectation and hope that I shall 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. 21#Gal 2.20. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22If it is to be life in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me. Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. 23I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. 24But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account. 25Convinced of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith, 26so that in me you may have ample cause to glory in Christ Jesus, because of my coming to you again.
27Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28#2 Thess 1.5. and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear omen to them of their destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God. 29For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, 30#Acts 16.19-40; 1 Thess 2.2. engaged in the same conflict which you saw and now hear to be mine.
