< Philippians 2 >

1 If [there is] any therefore encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if (any *N+kO) affections and compassions,
If there is therefore any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,
2 do fulfill my joy so that the same you may be minded, the same love having, united in soul, the same thing minding,
fulfill ye my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
3 nothing according to self-interest (nor *N+kO) (according to *no) vain conceit but in humility one another be esteeming surpassing themselves;
[doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;
4 not the [things] their own (each one *NK+o) (considering *N+kO) but also the [things] of others (everyone. *N+kO)
not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
5 This (for *k) (do be thinking *N+kO) in you which also in Christ Jesus [was]:
Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who in [the] form of God existing not something to be grasped considered to be equal with God,
who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God,
7 but Himself emptied [the] form of a servant having taken, in [the] likeness of men having been made,
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
8 And in appearance having been found as a man He humbled Himself having become obedient unto death, [the] death even of [the] cross;
and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
9 Therefore also God Him highly exalted and granted to Him (the *no) name above every name,
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow in the heavens and on earth and under the earth,
that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on earth and [things] under the earth,
11 and every tongue may confess that [is] Lord Jesus Christ to [the] glory of God [the] Father.
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Therefore, beloved of mine, even as always you have obeyed, not as in the presence of me only but now much more in the absence of me, with fear and trembling your own salvation do work out;
So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
13 God for is the [One] working in you both to will and to work according to [His] good pleasure.
for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
14 All things do perform without murmurings and disputings,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God (blameless *N+kO) (in *k) ([the] midst *N+kO) of a generation crooked and perverted among whom you shine as lights in [the] world,
that ye may be blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,
16 [the] word of life holding forth, unto a boast to me myself in [the] day of Christ that not in vain I did run nor in vain toil.
holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour in vain.
17 but if even I am being poured out on the sacrifice and on [the] service of the faith of you, I am glad and I rejoice with all you;
Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
18 And likewise also you yourselves do be glad and do rejoice with me.
and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19 I hope however in [the] Lord Jesus Timothy soon to send to you, that I myself also I myself also may be encouraged having known the [things] concerning you;
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 No [one] for I have like-minded, who genuinely the [things] relative to you will care for;
For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
21 Those all for the [things] their own are seeking, not the [things] Jesus of Christ;
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 But the proven worth of him you know, that as a father [with] a child with me myself he has served in the gospel.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
23 Him indeed therefore I hope to send when maybe (I may have seen *N+kO) the [things] concerning me myself immediately;
Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:
24 I have been persuaded however in [the] Lord that also I myself soon I will come.
but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.
25 Necessary now I esteemed [it] Epaphroditus the brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier of mine, of you now messenger and minister of the need of mine, to send to you;
But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;
26 since longing after he was all you (to see *O) and being deeply distressed because you heard that he was ill.
since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:
27 And indeed he was sick nearly (unto death; *NK+o) but God had mercy on him not on him now alone but also on me myself, that not sorrow upon sorrow I may have.
for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 All the more speedily therefore I have sent him, that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I myself and I myself less anxious may be.
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 do receive therefore him in [the] Lord with all joy and such in honor do hold;
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honour:
30 because for the sake of the work (of Christ *NK+O) unto death he came near having disregarded [his] life so that he may fill up the of you deficit of toward me service.
because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
