"And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith, "
— Philippians 1:25, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;”
“And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide, yea, and abide with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith; ”
“Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,”
“And since I am sure of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for the sake of your progress and joy in the faith,”
“And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith:”
“And being certain of this, I am conscious that I will go on, yes, and go on with you all, for your growth and joy in the faith;”
“And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;”
And while I live in the flesh, for me, there is the fruit of works. But I do not know which I would choose.
For I am constrained between the two: having a desire to be dissolved and to be with Christ, which is the far better thing,
but then to remain in the flesh is necessary for your sake.
And having this confidence, I know that I shall remain and that I shall continue to remain with all of you, for your advancement and for your joy in the faith,
so that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, through my return to you again.
Only let your behavior be worthy of the Gospel of Christ, so that, whether I return and see you, or whether, being absent, I hear about you, still you may stand firm with one spirit, with one mind, laboring together for the faith of the Gospel.
And in nothing be terrified by the adversaries. For what is to them an occasion of perdition, is to you an occasion of salvation, and this is from God.
