 1:12 And I would that ye might know, my brethren, that the transaction in regard to me, hath eventuated rather for the furtherance of the gospel;

 1:13 For so also my bonds are manifest for the Meshiha in the whole palace, and unto all besides.

 1:13 so that my bonds, on account of the Messiah, are matter of notoriety in all the court, and to all others.

 1:14 And a multitude of brethren who are in our Lord are strengthened on account of my bonds, and have dared the more fearlessly to speak the word of Aloha.

 1:17 But those who preach the Meshiha from contention do it not sincerely, but think to add affliction to my bonds.

 1:17 And they who herald the Messiah in contention, do it not sincerely; but they hope to add pressure to my bonds.

 1:20 So that I hope and expect, that I shall in nothing be put to shame; but with uncovered face, as at all times, so now, the Messiah will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

 1:21 For my life is the Meshiha; and if I die, it is gain to me.

 1:21 For my life is, the Messiah; and if I die, it is gain to me.

 1:22 But if in this life of the flesh there be also fruit to me from my works, I know not what to choose.

 1:22 But if I have fruits of my labors in this life of the flesh, I know not what I shall choose.

 1:23 For these two straiten me. I desire to be set free, that I might be with the Meshiha, and this is greatly preferable to me;

 1:23 For the two press upon me: I desire to be liberated, that I may be with the Messiah; and this would be very advantageous to me.

 1:26 so that when I come again to you, your glorying, which is in Jesus the Messiah only, will abound through me.

 1:27 As it becometh the gospel of the Meshiha, so have your conversation; that if coming I see you, or absent, I may hear of you, that you stand in one spirit and in one soul, conquering together for the faith of the gospel;

 1:27 Let your conduct be as becometh the gospel of the Messiah; so that if I come I may see you, and if absent I may hear of you, that ye stand fast in one spirit and in one soul, and that ye strive together in the faith of the gospel.

 1:28 in nothing moved by them who stand against us, to the forthshowing of their perdition, and of our salvation,

 1:28 And in nothing be ye startled, by those who rise up against us; [which is] an indication of their destruction, and of life for you.

 1:29 And this from Aloha hath been given to you, not only believing to believe in the Meshiha, but also for his sake to suffer,

 1:29 And this is given to you by God, that ye not only really believe in the Messiah, but also that ye suffer on his account;

 1:30 and to sustain a conflict, as you have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.

 1:30 and that ye endure conflict, as ye have seen in me, and now hear concerning me.
