The Christian Standard Bible aims to draw readers into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God. By translating Scripture into the clearest possible modern English, the CSB allows readers to experience God’s Word at its fullest. Developed by 100 scholars from 17 denominations, the Christian Standard Bible faithfully and accurately captures the Bible’s original meaning without compromising readability. The CSB was created using Optimal Equivalence, a translation philosophy that balances linguistic precision to the original languages and readability in contemporary English. In the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for- word rendering is clearly understandable, a literal translation is used. When a word- for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, a more dynamic translation is used. This process assures that both the words and thoughts contained in the original text are conveyed as accurately as possible for today’s readers. The CSB provides a highly accurate text for sermon preparation and serious study, translated from the biblical languages by scholars who love God’s Word. Yet it doesn’t compromise readability and clarity for those who may be less familiar with the traditional (and sometimes difficult) vocabulary retained in some translations. Research shows the CSB is both highly literal to the original languages and highly readable, achieving an optimal balance of the two. Pastors and laypeople can read and share the Christian Standard Bible with confidence, knowing truth of God’s Word will be communicated effectively. For a more information, visit CSBible.com

For you yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our visit  with you was not without result. On the contrary, after we had previously suffered  and were treated outrageously in Philippi,  as you know, we were emboldened by our God to speak the gospel of God to you in spite of great opposition. For our exhortation didn’t come from error or impurity  or an intent to deceive.  Instead, just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted  with the gospel,  so we speak, not to please people, but rather God,  who examines our hearts.  For we never used flattering speech, as you know, or had greedy  motives   — God is our witness   —  and we didn’t seek glory  from people, either from you or from others. Although we could have been a burden as Christ’s apostles,  instead we were gentle  among you, as a nurse  nurtures her own children. We cared so much for you that we were pleased to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become dear to us. For you remember our labor and hardship, brothers and sisters. Working  night and day so that we would not burden any of you, we preached God’s gospel to you. You are witnesses,  and so is God, of how devoutly, righteously,  and blamelessly  we conducted ourselves with you believers. As you know, like a father with his own children,  we encouraged, comforted, and implored each one of you to walk worthy of God,  who calls you into his own kingdom  and glory. 

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is,  the word of God,  which also works effectively in you who believe. For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Christ Jesus that are in Judea,  since you have also suffered  the same things from people of your own country,  just as they did from the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus  and the prophets and persecuted us.  They displease God and are hostile to everyone, by keeping us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. As a result, they are constantly filling up their sins to the limit,  and wrath has overtaken them at last. 

But as for us, brothers and sisters, after we were forced to leave you  for a short time (in person, not in heart  ), we greatly desired and made every effort to return  and see you face to face. So we wanted to come to you — even I, Paul, time and again — but Satan  hindered us. For who is our hope or joy  or crown  of boasting  in the presence of our Lord  Jesus at his coming?  Is it not you?  Indeed you are our glory  and joy!
