Philippians 1:11  Philippians 2:4

11 Being filled with the 1afruit of righteousness, which is bthrough Jesus Christ, to the cglory and praise of God.

12 Now I want you to know, brothers, that the things concerning me have turned out rather to the 1advancement of the agospel,

13 So that my abonds have become manifest as being 1in Christ among the whole 2Praetorian guard and to all the rest.

14 And most of the brothers, being confident in the Lord because of my bonds, are more exceedingly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

15 1Some preach Christ even because of aenvy and 2strife, and 3some also because of good will,

16 These out of love, knowing that I am set for the adefense of the gospel.

17 But the others announce Christ out of 1selfish ambition, not purely, thinking to raise up 2affliction in my abonds.

18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truthfulness, Christ is announced; and in this I 1arejoice; yes, and I will rejoice;

19 For I know that for me this will turn out to 1asalvation through 2your bpetition and the 3bountiful csupply of the 4dSpirit of Jesus Christ,

20 According to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I will be put to ashame, but with all boldness, as always, even now Christ will be 1magnified bin my body, whether through life or through cdeath.

21 For to me, to 1alive is Christ and to die is 2gain.

22 But if I am to live in the flesh, if this to me is afruit for my work, then I do not know what I will choose.

23 But I am constrained between the two, having the desire to adepart and be 1with Christ, for this is far better;

24 But to remain in the flesh is more necessary for 1your sake.

25 And being confident of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your 1progress and ajoy of 2the bfaith,

26 That your 1boast may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my coming again to you.

27 Only, conduct yourselves in a manner aworthy of the bgospel of Christ, that whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I may hear of the things concerning you, that you cstand firm in one spirit, with 1done soul 2estriving together along with 3the faith of the gospel,

28 And in nothing being frightened by the opposers, which is to them a aproof of their 1bdestruction, but of your 2salvation, and that from God;

29 Because to you it has been graciously granted on behalf of Christ not only to believe 1into Him but also to 2asuffer on His behalf,

30 Having the same astruggle which you saw in 1me and now hear to be in me.

CHAPTER 2

1 1If there is therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any 2aconsolation of love, if any bfellowship of spirit, if any 3ctenderheartedness and dcompassions,

2 1Make my 2ajoy full, that you 3bthink the same thing, having the 4same love, 5cjoined in soul, 3thinking 6the one thing,

3 1Doing nothing by way of 2aselfish ambition nor by way of bvainglory, but in 3clowliness of 4mind considering one another more excellent than yourselves;

4 Not regarding each his own 1virtues, but each the 1virtues of others also.
