Youngs Literal Translation |   | |
 |
| |
| | Phl 2:1 | If, then, any exhortation `is' in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
| |
| | Phl 2:2 | fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,
| |
| | Phl 2:3 | nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --
| |
| | Phl 2:4 | each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
| |
| | Phl 2:5 | For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,
| |
| | Phl 2:6 | who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,
| |
| | Phl 2:7 | but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
| |
| | Phl 2:8 | and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,
| |
| | Phl 2:9 | wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that `is' above every name,
| |
| | Phl 2:10 | that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --
| |
| | Phl 2:11 | and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
| |
| | Phl 2:12 | 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,
| |
| | Phl 2:13 | for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
| |
| | Phl 2:14 | All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
| |
| | Phl 2:15 | 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,
| |
| | Phl 2:16 | 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;
| |
| | Phl 2:17 | but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
| |
| | Phl 2:18 | because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
| |
| | Phl 2:19 | 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,
| |
| | Phl 2:20 | for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
| |
| | Phl 2:21 | for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
| |
| | Phl 2:22 | 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;
| |
| | Phl 2:23 | him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;
| |
| | Phl 2:24 | and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
| |
| | Phl 2:25 | 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,
| |
| | Phl 2:26 | seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
| |
| | Phl 2:27 | 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.
| |
| | Phl 2:28 | The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
| |
| | Phl 2:29 | receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
| |
| | Phl 2:30 | 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.
