Philippians 2
1 If there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any comfort from his love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if there are any tender mercies and compassions,
ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος ει τις σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι
2 then make my joy full by thinking alike, having the same love, being united in spirit, and having the same purpose.
πληρωσατε μου την χαραν ινα το αυτο φρονητε την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες συμψυχοι το εν φρονουντες
3 Do nothing out of selfishness or empty conceit. Instead with humility consider others better than yourselves.
μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων
4 Each of you should take care not only for your own needs, but also for the needs of others.
μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος
5 You should have the same attitude toward one another as was in Christ Jesus.
τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου
6 He existed in the form of God, but he did not consider his equality with God as something to hold on to.
ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω
7 Instead, he emptied himself by taking the form of a servant, and he was born in the likeness of men.
αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος
8 He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death, even death of a cross!
και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου θανατου δε σταυρου
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him. He gave him the name that is above every name.
διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα
10 He did this so that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, the knees of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth.
ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων
11 He did this so 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 So then, my beloved, as you always obey, not only in my presence but now much more in my absence, 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 is working in you both to will and to work 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 complaining or arguing.
παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων
15 Act in this way so that you may become blameless and honest, children of God without blemish. Act in this way so that you may shine as lights in the world, in the middle of a crooked and depraved generation.
ινα γενησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι τεκνα θεου αμωμητα εν μεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης εν οις φαινεσθε ως φωστηρες εν κοσμω
16 Hold tightly to the word of life so that I may have reason to glory on the day of Christ. For then I will know that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
λογον ζωης επεχοντες εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα
17 But even if I am being poured out as an offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν
18 In the same manner you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι
19 But I have hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may also be encouraged when I know the things about you.
ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων
20 For I have no one else with his same attitude, who is truly anxious for you.
ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει
21 For they all seek their own interests, not the things of Jesus Christ.
οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν ου τα χριστου ιησου
22 But you know his worth, because as a child serves his father, so he served with me in the gospel.
την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον
23 So I hope to send him as soon as I see how things will go with me.
τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης
24 But I am confident in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.
πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι
25 But I think it is necessary to send Epaphroditus back to you. He is my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and servant for my needs.
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 was very distressed, and he longed to be with you all, because you heard that he was sick.
επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν
27 For indeed he was so sick that he almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but also on me, so 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 it is all the more eagerly that I am sending him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I can be free from anxiety.
σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε καγω αλυποτερος ω
29 Welcome Epaphroditus in the Lord with all joy. Honor people like him.
προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε
30 For it was for the work of Christ that he came near death. He risked his life to serve me and fill up what you could not do in service to me.
οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας
