Philippians 1:6-30, Revised from "The Practice of the Way"

 

       I thank my God upon every single memory of you always in every single petition of mine over all of you, submitting the petition with joy, upon your communion into the Gospel from the first day up to this moment, having been convinced of this same thing, that the One having made the beginning of a good work within you will complete it up til the day of the Anointed Yeshua; just like it is right for me to be minded this way over all of you because of me having you within my heart, being my partners from the charity of you all in both my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the Gospel. Because the God is my witness as I would long for you all with the deepest parts of the Anointed Yeshua. And I am praying this, so that your love would overflow more and more with the knowledge which comes from seeing Him for yourself and with every single sensory perception as far as you proving the things which carry from one to another, so that you would be unmixed and free from having caused harm as far as the day of the Anointed, having been filled with the produce of right behavior which is through Yeshua the Anointed for the Divine reputation and praise.

       And I want you to know, brothers, that the things which are happening to me have more come for the advancement of the Gospel, so as for my chains by means of the Anointed to have become visible among the whole Praetorium and all the rest, and the more of the brothers with the Owner having been convinced by my chains to overwhelmingly dare to speak the message fearlessly.

       Some on the one hand also through envy and discord, yet some on the other hand also preach the Anointed because of good intent; these on the one hand from love, knowing that I am lying outstretched for the defense of the Gospel, but those on the other hand proclaim the Anointed from selfish ambition like a politician drumming up support for themselves, not purely, expecting to rouse up trouble by my chains. Because of what? However, that by every manner, whether by pretext or by truth, the Anointed is proclaimed, and with this I am rejoicing. But I will also rejoice, because I know that this will turn out for me for a rescue through your petition and [the] support of the Pneuma of Yeshua the Anointed in line with my eager expectation and hope that I will be ashamed by nothing but with every openness like always and currently the Anointed would be magnified with my body, whether through life or through death. Because the Anointed is what I’m living and for me to die is profit. Yet if what I’m living is in the soft tissues of the body, this situation is fruit from the work for me, and I don’t make known what I would prefer. Yet I am caught pressed between the two, holding the longing for the unloosing and to be together with the Anointed, better by a lot more; yet the keeping going in the soft tissues of the body is more constraining because of you folks. And being convinced of this I know that I will stay put and stay nearby you all for your progress and joy of the faith, so that your loud talking might overflow with the Anointed Yeshua with me through my arrival again in your direction.

       Just live worthily as a citizen of the Gospel of the Anointed, so that whether having come and seen you or being away I hear what’s happening with you, that you would stand with one Pneuma, with one breath of life contending together by the realization of the Gospel and not being scared by anything at all by those opposed, which is an omen of destruction to them, yet your rescue, and this from the God. Because it was charitably given to you on behalf of the Anointed, not just to put your trust into Him but also to suffer on His behalf, having the same struggle, as much as you saw with me and now hear with me.
