1:19 - [In Context |Original Greek ]for I know that this will turn out for my deliverance F16 through R39 your prayers F17 and the provision of the R40 Spirit of Jesus Christ,
1:20 - [In Context |Original Greek ]according to my earnest R41 expectation and hope, R42 that I will not be put to shame in anything, but {that} with all R43 boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted R44 in my body, whether R45 by life or by death.
1:21 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For to me, to R46 live is Christ and to die is gain.
1:22 - [In Context |Original Greek ]But F18 if {I am} to live {on} in the flesh, this {will mean} fruitful R47 labor for me; and I do not know which F19 to choose.
1:23 - [In Context |Original Greek ]But I am hard-pressed from both {directions,} having the desire R48 to depart and be R49 with Christ, for {that} is very much better;
1:24 - [In Context |Original Greek ]yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
1:25 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Convinced R50 of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in F20 the faith,
1:26 - [In Context |Original Greek ]so that your proud R51 confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.
1:27 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy R52 of the gospel R53 of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing R54 firm in one R55 spirit, with one mind F21 striving R56 together for the faith of the gospel;
1:28 - [In Context |Original Greek ]in no way alarmed by {your} opponents--which is a sign R57 of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that {too,} from God.
1:29 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For to you it R58 has been granted for Christ's sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer R59 for His sake,
1:30 - [In Context |Original Greek ]experiencing the same conflict R60 which you R61 saw in me, and now hear {to be} in me.

2:1 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship R62 of the Spirit, if any affection F22 R63 and compassion,
2:2 - [In Context |Original Greek ]make R64 my joy complete by F23 being R65 of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
2:3 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Do nothing from F24 selfishness F25 R66 or empty R67 conceit, but with humility of mind regard R68 one another as more important than yourselves;
2:4 - [In Context |Original Greek ]do R69 not {merely} look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
2:5 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Have R70 this attitude in F26 yourselves which was also in Christ R71 Jesus,
2:6 - [In Context |Original Greek ]who, although He existed R72 in the form R73 of God, did R74 not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, F27
2:7 - [In Context |Original Greek ]but emptied F28 R75 Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, R76 {and} being R77 made in the likeness of men.
2:8 - [In Context |Original Greek ]Being found in appearance as a man, He R78 humbled Himself by becoming obedient R79 to the point of death, even death R80 on F29 a cross.
2:9 - [In Context |Original Greek ]For R81 this reason also, God highly R82 exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the R83 name which is above every name,
2:10 - [In Context |Original Greek ]so that at the name of Jesus EVERY R84 KNEE WILL BOW, of those R85 who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
2:11 - [In Context |Original Greek ]and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, R86 to the glory of God the Father.
