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 therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of the Spirit,

2 do fulfill my joy so that the same you may be minded, the same love having, united in soul, the same thing minding,

if any bowels of compassion, compleat ye my joy, be like-minded, maintaining the same love, with your souls united, in attending to the one thing needful.

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

Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind each esteeming others 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 one to his own interests only, but every one also to the concerns of others.

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

Let the same 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 as God.

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

Yet He emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, when 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 in the human state, He humbled himself, and was obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross.

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

Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name 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 celestial beings, as well as of those on earth, and of those under the earth;

11 and every tongue may confess that [is] Lord Jesus Christ to [the] glory of God [the] Father.

and every tongue 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;

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed the gospel, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence; be still working out your own salvation though 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 that worketh in you both to will, and to work, out of his own 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 ye may be blameless and inoffensive, the children of God without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom ye 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.

exhibiting the word of life; to my rejoicing in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, nor laboured 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;

But if I be even poured forth as a libation on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all.

18 And likewise also you yourselves do be glad and do rejoice with me.

And for the same cause do ye also rejoice, and congratulate 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 to you shortly, that I also may be refreshed, by knowing the state of your affairs.

20 No [one] for I have like-minded, who genuinely the [things] relative to you will care for;

For I have no one of a like spirit, who will with a kind of natural affection take care of your affairs.

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

For all seek their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

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 I have had of him, that as son with a father he 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;

I hope therefore to send him as soon as I see the issue of my own affairs.

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 shall soon come myself too.

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;

However, I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother, and fellow-laborer, and fellow-soldier, but your messenger, who ministred 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 much longed after you all, and was greatly concerned 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 and 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 desirously, that when ye see him again ye may rejoice, and 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 have such in high esteem:

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 nigh unto death, not regarding his own life, so that he might fill up what was wanting in your kind offices towards me.
