Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19oidamē gar hoti houtem mi apobaineti eis sōtērēan dia tau vu deēsiau kai epichorēgiau teu pneumeu Iēsu Christou,because I know that through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, my distress will turn out for my deliverance. 20kata tan apokaradokian kai elpidan mu hoti en oudene aischunimi, alla en panta parrēsia hōs pantote kai nun megaluniti Christos en te sōme mu, eite dia zōau eite dia thanatou.I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have complete boldness so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21mi gar tem zōarō Christos kai tem apothnēskara kerdem.For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22ei de tem zōarō en sarka, houtem mi karpos ergeu kai tinem hairemi ouk gnōrizamō;But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know. 23sunechomō de ek teiu duo, tan epithumian echarōntos eis tem analuara kai sun Christo arō, polle ⸀gar mallon kreittonem,I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed. 24tem de epimenarō ⸀en ta sarka anankaioterem dia vin.But it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25kai houtem peitharēntos oidamē hoti menami kai ⸀paramenami pantoi vi eis tan vu prokopan kai charan tau pistiau,Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26hina tem kauchēmem vu perisseuateiō en Christo Iēso en mi dia tau ēmau parousiau palin pros vin.so that through my coming to you again your exultation in Christ Jesus will resound on account of me.
27Monem axiōs teu euangelieu tou Christou politeuovōr, hina eite ercharantos kai horarantos vin eite apeiarōntos ⸀akouameiō teim peri vu, hoti stēkavō en hene pneume, hena psucha sunathlarōntois ta pistia teu euangelieu,Nevertheless, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending together as one for the faith of the gospel, 28kai mē pturorōntois en mēdene hupo toiu antikeiorōntoiu hotinas ⸂atō autoi⸃ endeixias apōleiau, ⸀vu de sōtērēau, kai houtem apo theou,without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a clear sign of their destruction but of your salvation, and it is from God. 29hoti vi charizita tem huper Christou, ouk monon tem eis auton pisteuarō alla kai tem huper autou pascharō,For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for Him, 30ton auton agōnon echarōntois hoion horava en mi kai nun akouavō en mi.since you are encountering the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.
