Philippians 1
Geneva Bible 1599
1Paul and Timotheus the seruants of IESVS CHRIST, to all the Saintes in Christ Iesus which are at Philippi, with the Bishops, and Deacons:
2Grace be with you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
3I thanke my God, hauing you in perfect memorie,
4(Alwayes in all my praiers for all you, praying with gladnesse)
5Because of the fellowship which ye haue in the Gospel, from the first day vnto nowe.
6And I am persuaded of this same thing, that he that hath begunne this good worke in you, wil perfourme it vntill the day of Iesus Christ,
7As it becommeth me so to iudge of you all, because I haue you in remembrance that both in my bands, and in my defence, and confirmation of the Gospell you all were partakers of my grace.
8For God is my recorde, howe I long after you all from the very heart roote in Iesus Christ.
9And this I pray, that your loue may abound, yet more and more in knowledge, and in all iudgement,
10That ye may alowe those things which are best, that ye may be pure, and without offence vntill the day of Christ,
11Filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glorie and praise of God.
12I would ye vnderstood, brethren, that the things which haue come vnto me, are turned rather to the furthering of the Gospell,
13So that my bandes in Christ are famous throughout all the iudgement hall, and in all other places,
