Philippians 2
1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship from the Spirit, if any tenderness and acts of compassion,
ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τις σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.
πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard one another as being better than yourselves.
μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
4 Let each of you look out not only for his own concerns, but also for what concerns others.
μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος
5 In fact, let this mindset be in you that was also in Christ Jesus,
τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου
6 who, existing in God's form, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω
7 but divested Himself, taking a slave's form, coming to be in the likeness of men.
αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross!
και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου
9 Indeed, that is why God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that 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 will 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 every tongue will acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Sovereign, to the glory of God the Father.
και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησηται οτι κυριος ιησους χριστος εις δοξαν θεου πατρος
12 So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed (not only in my presence but now much more in my absence), keep working 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 because God Himself is the One at work in you, both to will and to produce, 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 grumbling or arguing,
παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and depraved generation, among whom you shine as light bearers 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 fast the Word of Life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor for nothing.
λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα
17 Yes, even if I am a libation being poured on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν
18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice 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, that I also may be encouraged 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 be genuinely concerned about your welfare
ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει
21 (for all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus).
οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα χριστου ιησου
22 But you know the proof of him, that as a son with his father he slaved with me for the Gospel.
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 things go with me.
τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης
24 Still, I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
25 However, I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker and fellow soldier; also your messenger and minister to 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 was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν
27 Well, he really was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
και γαρ ησθενησεν παραπλησιον θανατω αλλα ο θεος αυτον ηλεησεν ουκ αυτον δε μονον αλλα και εμε ινα μη λυπην επι λυπην σχω
28 So I sent him the more eagerly, that upon seeing him you might have joy, and I be less anxious.
σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω
29 Receive him in Sovereign with great joy, and hold such men in honor,
προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε
30 because for the work of the Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to complete what 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
