Philippians 2

1 If there be, therefore, any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tender affections and compassions,

ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τινα σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι

2 Fill ye up my joy—that, the same thing, ye esteem, the same love, possessing, joined in soul, the one thing, esteeming, —

πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες

3 Nothing by way of faction, nothing by way of vain-glory, —but, in lowliness of mind, accounting, one another, superior to yourselves, —

μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων

4 Not, to your own things, severally looking, but, to the things of others, severally: —

μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος

5 The same thing, esteem, in yourselves, which also, in Christ Jesus, [ye esteem], —

τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου

6 Who, in form of God, subsisting, not, a thing to be seized, accounted the being equal with God,

ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω

7 But, himself, emptied, taking, a servant’s form, coming to be, in men’s likeness;

αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος

8 And, in fashion, being found, as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient as far as death, yea, death upon a cross.

και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου

9 Wherefore also, God, uplifted him far on high, and favoured him with the name which is above every name, —

διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα

10 In order that, in the name of Jesus, every knee might bow—of beings in heaven, and on earth, and underground, —

ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων

11 And, every tongue, might openly confess—that Jesus Christ is, Lord, unto 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 ye have always obeyed, not [as] in my presence only, but, now, much more, in my absence, with fear and trembling, your own salvation, be working out;

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 energiseth within you, both the desiring and the energising, in behalf of his good pleasure.

ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας

14 All things, be doing, apart from murmurings and disputings;

παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων

15 In order that ye may become faultless and inviolate, children of God, blameless amidst a crooked and perverted generation, amongst whom ye appear as luminaries 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 A word of light, holding forth, —as a matter of boasting unto me, for the day of Christ, —that, not in vain, I ran, nor, in vain, I toiled: —

λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα

17 Nay! if I am even to be poured out as a drink-offering, upon the sacrifice and public ministry of your faith, I rejoice, yea rejoice together with you all, —

αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν

18 For the same cause, moreover, do, ye also, rejoice, yea rejoice together with me.

το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι

19 I am hoping, however, in the Lord Jesus—Timothy, shortly, to send unto you, in order that, I also, may be of cheerful soul, when I have ascertained the things that concern you.

ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων

20 For, no one, have I, of equal soul, who, genuinely, as to the things that concern you, will be anxious;

ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει

21 For, they all, their own things, do seek, not the things of Christ Jesus;

οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα του χριστου ιησου

22 But, of the proof of him, be taking note, —that, as child, with father, with me, hath he done service for the glad-message;

την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον

23 Him, indeed, therefore, am I hoping to send—as soon as I can look off from the things that concern myself, —forthwith.

τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης

24 I am assured, however, in the Lord, —that I, myself, shall shortly come.

πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι

25 Needful, nevertheless have I accounted it—Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your apostle and public minister to my need, to send unto you;

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 hath been longing to see, you all, and hath been in great distress, because ye had heard he was sick; —

επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν

27 And, in fact, he was sick, nigh unto death; but, God, had mercy on him, —and, not on him only, but, on me also, lest, sorrow upon sorrow, I should have.

και γαρ ησθενησεν παραπλησιον θανατω αλλ ο θεος αυτον ηλεησεν ουκ αυτον δε μονον αλλα και εμε ινα μη λυπην επι λυπη σχω

28 The more promptly, therefore, have I sent him, that, seeing him again, ye may rejoice, and, I, the less sorrowful, may be.

σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω

29 Be giving him welcome, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy; and, such as he, in honour, be holding, —

προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε

30 Because, for the sake of the work of the Lord, unto death, he drew nigh, running hazard with his life, that he might fill up your lack of the public service, towards me.

οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας
