"so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ; "
— Philippians 1:10, American Standard Version
“That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;”
“so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ;”
“so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ,”
“That you may approve the better things: that you may be sincere and without offence unto the day of Christ:”
“So that you may give your approval to the best things; that you may be true and without wrongdoing till the day of Christ;”
“That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;”
even as it is right for me to be thus minded on behalf of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch as, both in my bonds and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers with me of grace.
For God is my witness, how I long after you all in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment;
so that ye may approve the things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and void of offence unto the day of Christ;
being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Now I would have you know, brethren, that the thingswhich happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the progress of the gospel;
so that my bonds became manifest in Christ throughout the whole prætorian guard, and to all the rest;
