\subsection{Philippians 1}
\VS{1} Paul and Timothy, slaves of Christ Jesus, to all the holy [ones] in Christ Jesus 
who are at Philippi with the guardians and servants, 
\VS{2} grace to you and peace from God our father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ. 

\VS{3} I thank my God upon every remembrance [of you], 
\VS{4} always, in my every 
entreaty concerning you, making entreaty with joy, 
\VS{5} upon your 
fellowship in the good-news from the first day until now, 
\VS{6} having been 
persuaded of this very [thing], that the [one] having begun in you [a] good work will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. 
\VS{7} Just as it is [a] just 
[thing] for me to be thinking this concerning you all, because of my having you in 
[my] heart, [since] both in my bonds and in [the] defense and confirmation of the good-news 
you are co-sharers of my grace. 
\VS{8} For God is my witness, how I long for 
you all in the affections of Christ Jesus. 

\VS{9} And this I pray, that your agape-love yet more and more increase in 
knowledge and in all insight, 
\VS{10} that you be proving\footnote{or 
``testing'', ``approving''} the [things] being superior\footnote{or ``different''}, 
in order that you be sincere and blameless in [the] day of Jesus Christ, 
\VS{11} 
having been filled with [the] fruits of justness [which are] through Jesus Christ, to the 
glory and praise of God. 
\VS{12} But I intend you to be knowing, brothers, 
that [the things which happened] to me have come rather to the progress of the good-news, 
\VS{13} so 
that my bonds in Christ are become manifest among the whole imperial guard 
and to all the rest, 
\VS{14} and more of the brothers in the Lord having 
been persuaded by my bonds are daring much more to be fearlessly speaking 
the word of God. 
\VS{15} Some indeed even on account of envy and strife, but 
some proclaim the Christ on account of good will. 
\VS{16} Some from 
agape-love, having known that to the defense of the good-news am I set, 
\VS{17} but the others from strife proclaiming the Christ, not purely, 
expecting to be raising [the] affliction of my bonds. 
\VS{18} What then? Except 
that in every place, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is preached, and 
in this I rejoice, rather I will also rejoice. 
\VS{19} For I know that this 
will turn out for me to salvation through your entreaty and [the] support of the 
spirit of Jesus Christ. 
\VS{20} According to my eager-expectation and hope 
that in nothing will I be shamed, but in all boldness, as always, even now 
Christ will be made great in my body, whether through zoe-life\fnZoe{} or through death. 
\VS{21} For to me to zoe-live\fnZoe{} [is] Christ and to die [is] gain. 
\VS{22} But if zoe-living\fnZoe{} in the flesh, this [is] to me fruit of [my] work, 
and what I will choose, I do not know. 
\VS{23} For I torment between the two, having the desire to depart and 
be with Christ, which [is] rather far greater. 
\VS{24} But to be remaining in 
the flesh [is] more necessary on account [of you]. 
\VS{25} And having been persuaded of 
this I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress 
and joy of faith, 
\VS{26} in order that your boast abound in Christ Jesus 
for me on account of my presence again with you. 
\VS{27} Only be conducting 
yourselves worthy of the good-news of Christ, in order that whether coming 
and seeing you or being absent, I hear the [things] concerning you, that you stand 
in one spirit, in one psyche-life\fnPsyche{} co-struggling for the faith of the good-news, 
\VS{28} and being frightened in \negd{nothing} by your enemies, which 
is to them evidence of [their] destruction, but [of your] salvation, and this from God. 
\VS{29} For to you has been graced in behalf of Christ not only to be 
believing him but also to be suffering on account of him, 
\VS{30} having the 
same fight of which sort you saw in me and you now hear [to be] in me.
