< Philippians 2 >

1 If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τινα σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου
6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω
7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησηται οτι κυριος ιησους χριστος εις δοξαν θεου πατρος
12 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
ωστε αγαπητοι μου καθως παντοτε υπηκουσατε μη ως εν τη παρουσια μου μονον αλλα νυν πολλω μαλλον εν τη απουσια μου μετα φοβου και τρομου την εαυτων σωτηριαν κατεργαζεσθε
13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας
14 Do all things without complaining and arguing,
παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
ινα γενησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι τεκνα θεου αμωμητα εν μεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης εν οις φαινεσθε ως φωστηρες εν κοσμω
16 holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα
17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν
18 In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων
20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει
21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα του χριστου ιησου
22 But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον
23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
25 But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου πεμψαι προς υμας
26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν
27 For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
και γαρ ησθενησεν παραπλησιον θανατω αλλ ο θεος αυτον ηλεησεν ουκ αυτον δε μονον αλλα και εμε ινα μη λυπην επι λυπη σχω
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε
30 because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας
