< Philippians 2 >

1 If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
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,
2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,
do fulfill my joy so that the same you may be minded, the same love having, united in soul, the same thing minding,
3 nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves —
nothing according to self-interest (nor *N(k)O*) (according to *no*) vain conceit but in humility one another be esteeming surpassing themselves;
4 each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
not the [things] their own (each one *NK(o)*) (considering *N(k)O*) but also the [things] of others (everyone. *N(k)O*)
5 For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
This (for *k*) (do be thinking *N(k)O*) in you which also in Christ Jesus [was]:
6 who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,
Who in [the] form of God existing not something to be grasped considered to be equal with God,
7 but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
but Himself emptied [the] form of a servant having taken, in [the] likeness of men having been made,
8 and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,
And in appearance having been found as a man He humbled Himself having become obedient unto death, [the] death even of [the] cross;
9 wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,
Therefore also God Him highly exalted and granted to Him (the *no*) name above every name,
10 that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —
that at the name of Jesus every knee may bow in the heavens and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
and every tongue may confess that [is] Lord Jesus Christ to [the] glory of God [the] Father.
12 So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,
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;
13 for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
(*k*) God for is the [One] working in you both to will and to work according to [His] good pleasure.
14 All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
All things do perform without murmurings and disputings,
15 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
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,
16 the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;
[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.
17 but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
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;
18 because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
And likewise also you yourselves do be glad and do rejoice with me.
19 And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
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;
20 for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
No [one] for I have like-minded, who genuinely the [things] relative to you will care for;
21 for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
Those all for the [things] their own are seeking, not the [things] (*k*) Jesus of Christ;
22 and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
But the proven worth of him you know, that as a father [with] a child with me myself he has served in the gospel.
23 him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me — immediately;
Him indeed therefore I hope to send when maybe (I may have seen *N(k)O*) the [things] concerning me myself immediately;
24 and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
I have been persuaded however in [the] Lord that also I myself soon I will come.
25 And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus — my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need — to send unto you,
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;
26 seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
since longing after he was all you (to see *O*) and being deeply distressed because you heard that he was ill.
27 for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
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.
28 The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
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.
29 receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
do receive therefore him in [the] Lord with all joy and such in honor do hold;
30 because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
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.
