King James Version with Apocrypha
"That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;"
— Philippians 1:10, King James Version with Apocrypha
“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:”
Even as it is meet for me to think this 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 of my grace.
For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
