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(k)O*) affections and compassions,

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

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 you my joy, that you be like minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3 nothing according to self-interest (nor *N(k)O*) (according to *no*) vain conceit but in humility one another be esteeming surpassing themselves;

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4 not the [things] their own (each one *NK(o)*) (considering *N(k)O*) but also the [things] of others (everyone. *N(k)O*)

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5 This (for *k*) (do be thinking *N(k)O*) in you which also in Christ Jesus [was]:

Let this mind be 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, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 but Himself emptied [the] form of a servant having taken, in [the] likeness of men having been made,

But made himself of no reputation, and took on him the form of a servant, and was 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, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.

9 Therefore also God Him highly exalted and granted to Him (the *no*) name above every name,

Why God also has highly exalted him, and given him a 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 at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in 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;

Why, my beloved, as you 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 (*k*) God for is the [One] working in you both to will and to work according to [His] good pleasure.

For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of 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(k)O*) (in *k*) ([the] midst *N(k)O*) of a generation crooked and perverted among whom you shine as lights in [the] world,

That you may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the middle of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you shine 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 rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored 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;

Yes, and if I be offered on 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.

For the same cause also do you 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 trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly to 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 like minded, who will naturally care for your state.

21 Those all for the [things] their own are seeking, not the [things] (*k*) Jesus of Christ;

For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.

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 you know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the gospel.

23 Him indeed therefore I hope to send when maybe (I may have seen *N(k)O*) the [things] concerning me myself immediately;

Him therefore I hope to send presently, 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 also myself 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;

Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

26 since longing after he was all you (to see *O*) and being deeply distressed because you heard that he was ill.

For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you had heard that he had been 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 near to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow on 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 sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you see him again, you 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 gladness; and hold such in reputation:

30 because for the sake of the work (*k*) (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 was near to death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
