1 Παύλος και Τιμόθεος, δούλοι του Ιησού Χριστού, προς πάντας τους αγίους εν Χριστώ Ιησού τους όντας εν Φιλίπποις μετά των επισκόπων και διακόνων.
1 PABLO y Timoteo, siervos de Jesucristo, á todos los santos en Cristo Jesús que están en Filipos, con los obispos y diáconos:
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 χάρις είη υμίν και ειρήνη από Θεού Πατρός ημών και Κυρίου Ιησού Χριστού.
2 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Ευχαριστώ τον Θεόν μου οσάκις σας ενθυμούμαι,
3 Doy gracias á mi Dios en toda memoria de vosotros,
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 πάντοτε εν πάση προσευχή μου υπέρ πάντων υμών δεόμενος μετά χαράς,
4 Siempre en todas mis oraciones haciendo oración por todos vosotros con gozo,
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 διά την εις το ευαγγέλιον κοινωνίαν σας από της πρώτης ημέρας μέχρι του νυν,
5 Por vuestra comunión en el evangelio, desde el primer día hasta ahora:
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 βέβαιος ων εις αυτό τούτο, ότι εκείνος όστις ήρχισεν εις εσάς καλόν έργον θέλει επιτελέσει αυτό μέχρι της ημέρας του Ιησού Χριστού,
6 Estando confiado de esto, que el que comenzó en vosotros la buena obra, la perfeccionará hasta el día de Jesucristo;
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 καθώς είναι δίκαιον εις εμέ να φρονώ τούτο περί πάντων υμών, διότι σας έχω εν τη καρδία μου, και είσθε πάντες σεις και εις τα δεσμά μου και εις την απολογίαν και εις την βεβαίωσιν του ευαγγελίου συγκοινωνοί μου της χάριτος.
7 Como me es justo sentir esto de todos vosotros, por cuanto os tengo en el corazón; y en mis prisiones, y en la defensa y confirmación del evangelio, sois todos vosotros compañeros de mi gracia.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Διότι μάρτυς μου είναι ο Θεός, ότι σας επιποθώ πάντας με σπλάγχνα Ιησού Χριστού.
8 Porque Dios me es testigo de cómo os amo á todos vosotros en las entrañas de Jesucristo.
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 Και τούτο προσεύχομαι, να περισσεύση η αγάπη σας έτι μάλλον και μάλλον εις επίγνωσιν και εις πάσαν νόησιν,
9 Y esto ruego, que vuestro amor abunde aun más y más en ciencia y en todo conocimiento,
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 διά να διακρίνητε τα διαφέροντα, ώστε να ήσθε ειλικρινείς και απρόσκοποι μέχρι της ημέρας του Χριστού,
10 Para que discernáis lo mejor; que seáis sinceros y sin ofensa para el día de Cristo;
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
11 πλήρεις καρπών δικαιοσύνης των διά του Ιησού Χριστού εις δόξαν και έπαινον Θεού.
11 Llenos de frutos de justicia, que son por Jesucristo, á gloria y loor de Dios.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Θέλω δε να εξεύρητε, αδελφοί, ότι τα συμβάντα εις εμέ συνέτρεξαν μάλλον εις πρόοδον του ευαγγελίου,
12 Y quiero, hermanos, que sepáis que las cosas que me [han sucedido], han redundado más en provecho del evangelio;
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
13 ώστε τα διά τον Χριστόν δεσμά μου έγειναν φανερά εις όλον το πραιτώριον και εις πάντας τους λοιπούς,
13 De manera que mis prisiones han sido célebres en Cristo en todo el pretorio, y á todos los demás;
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 και οι πλειότεροι των εν Κυρίω αδελφών πεποιθότες εις τα δεσμά μου τολμώσι περισσότερον να κηρύττωσιν αφόβως τον λόγον.
14 Y muchos de los hermanos en el Señor, tomando ánimo con mis prisiones, se atreven mucho más á hablar la palabra sin temor.
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Τινές μεν και διά φθόνον και έριδα, τινές δε και από καλής θελήσεως κηρύττουσι τον Χριστόν·
15 Y algunos, á la verdad, predican á Cristo por envidia y porfía; mas algunos también por buena voluntad.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 οι μεν κηρύττουσιν εξ αντιζηλίας τον Χριστόν, ουχί εν καθαρότητι, νομίζοντες ότι προσθέτουσι θλίψιν εις τα δεσμά μου·
16 Los unos anuncian á Cristo por contención, no sinceramente, pensando añadir aflicción á mis prisiones;
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 οι δε εξ αγάπης, εξεύροντες ότι είμαι τεταγμένος εις απολογίαν του ευαγγελίου.
17 Pero los otros por amor, sabiendo que soy puesto por la defensa del evangelio.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Τι λοιπόν πλην κατά πάντα τρόπον, είτε επί προφάσει είτε τη αληθεία, ο Χριστός κηρύττεται· και εις τούτο χαίρω αλλά και θέλω χαίρει.
18 ¿Qué pues? [Que] no obstante, en todas maneras, ó por pretexto ó por verdad, es anunciado Cristo; y en esto me huelgo, y aun me holgaré.
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 Διότι εξεύρω ότι τούτο θέλει αποβή εις εμέ προς σωτηρίαν διά της δεήσεώς σας και διά της βοηθείας, του Πνεύματος του Ιησού Χριστού,
19 Porque sé que esto se me tornará á salud, por vuestra oración, y por la suministración del Espíritu de Jesucristo;
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 κατά την σταθεράν προσδοκίαν και ελπίδα μου ότι δεν θέλω αισχυνθή εις ουδέν, αλλά μετά πάσης παρρησίας ως πάντοτε και τώρα θέλει μεγαλυνθή ο Χριστός εν τω σώματί μου είτε διά ζωής είτε διά θανάτου.
20 Conforme á mi mira y esperanza, que en nada seré confundido; antes bien con toda confianza, como siempre, ahora también será engrandecido Cristo en mi cuerpo, ó por vida, ó por muerte.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Διότι εις εμέ το ζην είναι ο Χριστός και το αποθανείν κέρδος.
21 Porque para mí el vivir es Cristo, y el morir es ganancia.
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 Αλλ' εάν το να ζω εν σαρκί τούτο συμβάλλη εις καρποφορίαν του έργου μου, και τι να εκλέξω δεν γνωρίζω.
22 Mas si el vivir en la carne, esto me [será para] fruto de la obra, no sé entonces qué escoger;
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 Διότι στενοχωρούμαι υπό των δύο, έχων μεν την επιθυμίαν να αναχωρήσω και να είμαι με τον Χριστόν· διότι είναι πολύ πλέον καλήτερον·
23 Porque de ambas cosas estoy puesto en estrecho, teniendo deseo de ser desatado, y estar con Cristo, lo cual es mucho mejor:
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 το να μένω όμως εν τη σαρκί είναι αναγκαιότερον διά σας.
24 Empero quedar en la carne es más necesario por causa de vosotros.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 Και τούτο εξεύρω εν πεποιθήσει ότι θέλω μείνει και συμπαραμείνει μετά πάντων υμών διά την εις την πίστιν προκοπήν σας και χαράν,
25 Y confiado en esto, sé que quedaré, que aun permaneceré con todos vosotros, para provecho vuestro y gozo de la fe;
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 διά να περισσεύη δι' εμού το καύχημά σας εις τον Ιησούν Χριστόν διά της εμής πάλιν παρουσίας προς εσάς.
26 Para que crezca vuestra gloria de mí en Cristo Jesús por mi venida otra vez á vosotros.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 Μόνον πολιτεύεσθε αξίως του ευαγγελίου του Χριστού, διά να ακούσω, είτε όταν έλθω και σας ίδω είτε ενώ είμαι απών, την κατάστασίν σας, ότι στέκεσθε εις εν πνεύμα, συναγωνιζόμενοι εν μιά ψυχή διά την πίστιν του ευαγγελίου,
27 Solamente que converséis como es digno del evangelio de Cristo; para que, ó sea que vaya á veros, ó que esté ausente, oiga de vosotros que estáis firmes en un mismo espíritu, unánimes combatiendo juntamente por la fe del evangelio,
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28 και μη φοβιζόμενοι εις ουδέν από των εναντίων, το οποίον εις αυτούς μεν είναι ένδειξις απωλείας, εις εσάς δε σωτηρίας, και τούτο από Θεού·
28 Y en nada intimidados de los que se oponen: que á ellos ciertamente es indicio de perdición, mas á vosotros de salud; y esto de Dios;
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29 διότι εις εσάς εχαρίσθη το υπέρ Χριστού, ου μόνον το να πιστεύητε εις αυτόν, αλλά και το να πάσχητε υπέρ αυτού,
29 Porque á vosotros es concedido por Cristo, no sólo que creáis en él, sino también que padezcáis por él,
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 έχοντες τον αυτόν αγώνα, οποίον είδετε εν εμοί και τώρα ακούετε εν εμοί.
30 Teniendo el mismo conflicto que habéis visto en mí, y ahora oís estar en mí.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Here, as writing to those of equal honor, he does not set down his rank of Teacher, but another, and that a great one. And what is that? He calls himself a "servant," and not an Apostle.

But the apostle himself also, being one who had been formed in a womb, and had issued thence, wrote to us, and confessed in his Epistle to the Philippians that "to live in the flesh was the fruit of [his] work;" thus expressing himself.
The apostle "desires to depart, and to be with Christ." And, "My soul desired to long for Thy judgments;" or if it is more appropriate to say, "My soul longed to desire Thy judgments." And, "The desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom." Yet there has always obtained the usage of understanding desire and concupiscence in a bad sense if …

For no child, be he never so virtuous, is so desirable and lovely to a father, as the having our portion in those good things, and "to depart and be with Christ." No doubt hell, and that punishment, is a thing not to be borne.

He is called also the Spirit of Christ, as it is written, Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify; and again, Through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
