4:1 So then, my brothers and sisters, ³  dear friends whom I long to see, my joy and crown, stand in the Lord in this way, my dear friends!

Philippians 1:22

1:22 Now if I am to go on living in the body, ⁴  this will mean productive work ⁵  for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer: ⁶ 

Philippians 1:2

1:2 Grace and peace to you ⁷  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!

Philippians 2:22

2:22 But you know his qualifications, that like a son working with his father, he served with me in advancing the gospel.

¹ tn Or “faith.”

² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

⁴ tn Grk “flesh.”

⁵ tn Grk “fruit of work”; the genitive ἔργου (ergou) is taken as an attributed genitive in which the head noun, καρπός (karpos), functions attributively (cf. ExSyn 89-91).

⁶ tn Grk “what I shall prefer.” The Greek verb αἱρέω (Jairew) could also mean “choose,” but in this context such a translation is problematic for it suggests that Paul could perhaps choose suicide (cf. L&N 30.86).

⁷ tn Grk “Grace to you and peace.”
