1 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and ministrants;
1 PABLO y Timoteo, siervos de Jesucristo, á todos los santos en Cristo Jesús que están en Filipos, con los obispos y diáconos:
2 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Gracia [sea] á vosotros, y paz de Dios nuestro Padre y del Señor Jesucristo.
3 I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you,
3 Doy gracias á mi Dios en toda memoria de vosotros,
4 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy making the supplication,
4 Siempre en todas mis oraciones haciendo oración por todos vosotros con gozo,
5 for your contribution to the good news from the first day till now,
5 Por vuestra comunión en el evangelio, desde el primer día hasta ahora:
6 having been confident of this very thing, that He who did begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of Jesus Christ,
6 Estando confiado de esto, que el que comenzó en vosotros la buena obra, la perfeccionará hasta el día de Jesucristo;
7 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news, all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace.
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.
8 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ,
8 Porque Dios me es testigo de cómo os amo á todos vosotros en las entrañas de Jesucristo.
9 and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound in full knowledge, and all judgment,
9 Y esto ruego, que vuestro amor abunde aun más y más en ciencia y en todo conocimiento,
10 for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be pure and offenceless — to a day of Christ,
10 Para que discernáis lo mejor; que seáis sinceros y sin ofensa para el día de Cristo;
11 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
11 Llenos de frutos de justicia, que son por Jesucristo, á gloria y loor de Dios.
12 And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have come,
12 Y quiero, hermanos, que sepáis que las cosas que me [han sucedido], han redundado más en provecho del evangelio;
13 so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the whole praetorium, and to the other places — all,
13 De manera que mis prisiones han sido célebres en Cristo en todo el pretorio, y á todos los demás;
14 and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold — fearlessly to speak the word.
14 Y muchos de los hermanos en el Señor, tomando ánimo con mis prisiones, se atreven mucho más á hablar la palabra sin temor.
15 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ;
15 Y algunos, á la verdad, predican á Cristo por envidia y porfía; mas algunos también por buena voluntad.
16 the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds,
16 Los unos anuncian á Cristo por contención, no sinceramente, pensando añadir aflicción á mis prisiones;
17 and the other out of love, having known that for defence of the good news I am set:
17 Pero los otros por amor, sabiendo que soy puesto por la defensa del evangelio.
18 what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is proclaimed — and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall rejoice.
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.
19 For I have known that this shall fall out to me for salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the Spirit of Christ Jesus,
19 Porque sé que esto se me tornará á salud, por vuestra oración, y por la suministración del Espíritu de Jesucristo;
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death,
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.
21 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain.
21 Porque para mí el vivir es Cristo, y el morir es ganancia.
22 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work, then what shall I choose? I know not;
22 Mas si el vivir en la carne, esto me [será para] fruto de la obra, no sé entonces qué escoger;
23 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart, and to be with Christ, for it is far better,
23 Porque de ambas cosas estoy puesto en estrecho, teniendo deseo de ser desatado, y estar con Cristo, lo cual es mucho mejor:
24 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account,
24 Empero quedar en la carne es más necesario por causa de vosotros.
25 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy of the faith,
25 Y confiado en esto, sé que quedaré, que aun permaneceré con todos vosotros, para provecho vuestro y gozo de la fe;
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence again to you.
26 Para que crezca vuestra gloria de mí en Cristo Jesús por mi venida otra vez á vosotros.
27 Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for the faith of the good news,
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,
28 and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of salvation, and that from God;
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;
29 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer;
29 Porque á vosotros es concedido por Cristo, no sólo que creáis en él, sino también que padezcáis por él,
30 the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now hear of in me.
30 Teniendo el mismo conflicto que habéis visto en mí, y ahora oís estar en mí.

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.
