| 1 | Εἰ τις οὖν παράκλησις ἐν Χριστῷ, εἰ τι παραμύθιον ἀγάπης, εἰ τις κοινωνία πνεύματος, εἰ τις σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί, | IF THEN our common life in Christ yields anything to stir the heart, any loving consolation, any sharing of the Spirit, any warmth of affection or compassion, | Christian Humility and Christ's Humility Php.2.1-11 |
| 2 | πληρώσατέ μου τὴν χαρὰν ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε, τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην ἐχοντες, σύμψυχοι, τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες, | fill up my cup of happiness by thinking and feeling alike, with the same love for one another, the same turn of mind, and a common care for unity. | |
| 3 | μηδὲν κατ' ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν, ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν, | Rivalry and personal vanity should have no place among you, but you should humbly reckon others better than yourselves. | |
| 4 | μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἑκαστος σκοποῦντες, ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἑκαστοι. | You must look to each other's interest and not merely to your own. | |
| 5 | τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, | Let your bearing towards one another arise out of your life in Christ Jesus. | |
| 6 | ὃς ἐν μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων οὐχ ἀρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι ἰσα θεῷ, | For the divine nature was his from the first; yet he did not think to snatch at equality with God, | Php.2.6-11 |
| 7 | ἀλλὰ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν μορφὴν δούλου λαβών, ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος· καὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος | but made himself nothing, assuming the nature of a slave. Bearing the human likeness, | |
| 8 | ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτὸν γενόμενος ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου, θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ. | revealed in human shape, he humbled himself, and in obedience accepted even death - death on a cross. | |
| 9 | διὸ καὶ ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ὑπερύψωσεν καὶ ἐχαρίσατο αὐτῷ τὸ ὀνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὀνομα, | Therefore God raised him to the heights and bestowed on him the name above all names, | |
| 10 | ἵνα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ ΠΑN ΓONΥ KΑMΨH ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων, | that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow - in heaven, on earth, and in the depths - | - every knee should bow and under the earth, Php.2.10 | Is.45.23 |
| 11 | KΑI ΠΑΣΑ ΓΛΩΣΣΑ ΕΞOMOΛOΓHΣHTΑI ὅτι κύριος Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς εἰς δόξαν ΘΕΟΥ πατρός. | and every tongue confess, 'Jesus Christ is Lord', to the glory of God the Father. | |
| 12 | Ὥστε, ἀγαπητοί μου, καθὼς πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε, μὴ ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου μόνον ἀλλὰ νῦν πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου, μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργα ζεσθε· | So you too, my friends, must be obedient, as always; even more, now that I am away, than when I was with you. You must work out your own salvation in fear and trembling; | Shining as Lights in the World Php.2.12-18 |
| 13 | θεὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐνεργῶν ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ τὸ θέλειν καὶ τὸ ἐνεργεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐδοκίας. | for it is God who works in you, inspiring both the will and the deed, for his own chosen purpose. | |
| 14 | πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν, | Do all you have to do without complaint or wrangling. | |
| 15 | ἵνα γένησθε ἀμεμπτοι καὶ ἀκέραιοι, τέκνα θεοῦ ἀμωμα μέσον γενεᾶς σκολιᾶς καὶ διεστραμμένης, ἐν οἷς φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ, | Show yourselves guileless and above reproach, faultless children of God in a warped and crooked generation, in which you shine like stars in a dark world and proffer the word of life. | |
| 16 | λόγον ζωῆς ἐπέχοντες, εἰς καύχημα ἐμοὶ εἰς ἡμέραν Χριστοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰς κενὸν ἐδραμον οὐδὲ εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασα. | Thus you will be my pride on the Day of Christ, proof that I did not run my race in vain, or work in vain. | |
| 17 | ἀλλὰ εἰ καὶ σπένδομαι ἐπὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ λειτουργίᾳ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν, χαίρω καὶ συγχαίρω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν· | But if my life-blood is to crown that sacrifice which is the offering up of your faith, I am glad of it, and I share my gladness with you all. | |
| 18 | τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ ὑμεῖς χαίρετε καὶ συγχαίρετέ μοι. | Rejoice, you no less than I, and let us share our joy. | |
| 19 | Ἐλπίζω δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Τιμόθεον ταχέως πέμψαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα κἀγὼ εὐψυχῶ γνοὺς τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν. | I HOPE (under the Lord Jesus) to send Timothy to you soon; it will cheer me to hear news of you. | Timothy and Epaphroditus Php.2.19-30 |
| 20 | οὐδένα γὰρ ἐχω ἰσόψυχον ὁστις γνησίως τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν μεριμνήσει, | There is no one else here who sees things as I do, and takes a genuine interest in your concerns; | |
| 21 | οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν, οὐ τὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ. | they are all bent on their own ends, not on the cause of Christ Jesus. | |
| 22 | τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε, ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον. | But Timothy's record is known to you: you know that he has been at my side in the service of the Gospel like a son working under his father. | |
| 23 | τοῦτον μὲν οὖν ἐλπίζω πέμψαι ὡς ἂν ἀφίδω τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐξαυτῆς· | Timothy, then, I hope to send as soon as ever I can see how things are going with me; | |
| 24 | πέποιθα δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἐλεύσομαι. | and I am confident, under the Lord, that I shall myself be coming before long. | |
| 25 | Ἀναγκαῖον δὲ ἡγησάμην Ἐπαφρόδιτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συνεργὸν καὶ συστρατιώτην μου, ὑμῶν δὲ ἀπόστολον καὶ λειτουργὸν τῆς χρείας μου, πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς, | I feel also I must send our brother Epaphroditus, my fellow-worker and comrade, whom you commissioned to minister to my needs. | |
| 26 | ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀδημονῶν διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν. | He has been missing all of you sadly, and has been distressed that you heard he was ill. | |
| 27 | καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον θανάτῳ· ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς ἠλέησεν αὐτόν, οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ, ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην σχῶ. | (He was indeed dangerously ill, but God was merciful to him, and merciful no less to me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.) | |
| 28 | σπουδαιοτέρως οὖν ἐπεμψα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ. | For this reason I am all the more eager to send him, to give you the happiness of seeing him again, and to relieve my sorrow. | |
| 29 | προσδέχεσθε οὖν αὐτὸν ἐν κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς, καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἐντίμους ἐχετε, | Welcome him then in the fellowship of the Lord with wholehearted delight. You should honour men like him; | |
| 30 | ὁτι διὰ τὸ ἐργον Χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἠγγισεν, παραβολευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας. | in Christ's cause he came near to death, risking his life to render me the service you could not give. | |
