Philippians 2
1 Wherefore, if there be any consolation in Christ; if any comfort of love; if any fellowship of the Spirit; if any sympathies and tender mercies,
ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τινα σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
2 complete this my joy, that you be likeminded; having the very same love, being unanimous, minding the one thing.
πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but, in humbleness of mind esteem each other better that yourselves:
μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
4 not aiming every one at his own interests, but every one also, at the interests of the others.
μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος
5 Now let this disposition be in you which 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 affect to appear in divine majesty;
ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω
7 but divested himself, taking upon him 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 fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου
9 And for this reason, God has exceedingly exalted him, and has bestowed on him a 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, and upon the earth, and 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 Wherefore, my beloved, since you have always obeyed, not in my presence only, but now much more in my absence; effectually 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 effectually in you, both to will and to perform, on account of his benevolence.
ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings;
παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
15 that you may be blameless and harmless, the children of God, unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse race; among whom shine 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 forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor have labored 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 be made a drink-offering upon the sacrifice and ministry of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all;
αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν
18 and for the same do you also joy 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 of good courage, that I also may be of good courage, when I know your affairs.
ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων
20 For I have no one like disposed, who will sincerely take care of your affairs;
ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει
21 for 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 the proof of him, that, as a son with a father, so he has served with me in the gospel.
την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον
23 Now, indeed, I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης
24 However, I am fully persuaded by the Lord, that even I myself shall soon come.
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
25 Yet I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellowlaborer, and fellowsoldier; but your Apostle, and a minister to my want.
αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου πεμψαι προς υμας
26 For he longed after you all, and was exceedingly grieved, because you had heard that he had been sick.
επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν
27 And, indeed, he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might 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 Wherefore I have sent him the more speedily, that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the more free from sorrow.
σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω
29 Receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and have such persons in great estimation;
προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε
30 because for the work of Christ, he drew nigh to death, not regarding his life, that he might fully supply the want of 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
