Philippians 2
1 Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, any solace of charity, any fellowship of the Spirit, any feelings of commiseration:
ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τινα σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
2 complete my joy by having the same understanding, holding to the same charity, being of one mind, with the same sentiment.
πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
3 Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself.
μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
4 Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.
μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος
5 For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus:
τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.
ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω
7 Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.
αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.
και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου
9 Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,
διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα
10 so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell, (questioned)
ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων
11 and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησηται οτι κυριος ιησους χριστος εις δοξαν θεου πατρος
12 And so, my most beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but even more so now in my absence: work toward your 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 so as to choose, and so as to act, in accord with his good will.
ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας
14 And do everything without murmuring or hesitation.
παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
15 So may you be without blame, simple sons of God, without reproof, in the midst of a depraved and perverse nation, among whom you shine like 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 to the Word of Life, until my glory in the day of Christ. For I have not run in vain, nor have I labored in vain.
λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα
17 Moreover, if I am to be immolated because of the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and give thanks with all of you.
αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν
18 And over this same thing, you also should rejoice and give thanks, together with me.
το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι
19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, in order that I may be encouraged, when I know the things concerning you.
ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων
20 For I have no one else with such an agreeable mind, who, with sincere affection, is solicitous for you.
ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει
21 For they all seek the things that are of themselves, not the things that are of Jesus Christ.
οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα του χριστου ιησου
22 So know this evidence of him: that like a son with a father, so has he served with me in the Gospel.
την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον
23 Therefore, I hope to send him to you immediately, as soon as I see what will happen concerning me.
τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself will also return to you soon.
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
25 Now I have considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and co-worker, and fellow soldier, and an attendant to my needs, but your Apostle.
αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου πεμψαι προς υμας
26 For certainly, he has desired all of you, and he was saddened because you had heard that he was sick.
επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν
27 For he was sick, even unto death, but God took pity on him, and not only on him, but truly on myself also, so that I would not have sorrow upon 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 Therefore, I sent him more readily, in order that, by seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω
29 And so, receive him with every joy in the Lord, and treat all those like him with honor.
προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε
30 For he was brought close even to death, for the sake of the work of Christ, handing over his own life, so that he might fulfill what was lacking from you concerning my service.
οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας
