当以基督的心为心

所以,在基督里若有什么劝勉,爱心有什么安慰,圣灵有什么交通,心中有什么慈悲怜悯, 你们就要意念相同,爱心相同,有一样的心思,有一样的意念,使我的喜乐可以满足。 凡事不可结党,不可贪图虚浮的荣耀,只要存心谦卑,各人看别人比自己强。 各人不要单顾自己的事,也要顾别人的事。 你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。 他本有神的形象,不以自己与神同等为强夺的, 反倒虚己,取了奴仆的形象,成为人的样式; 既有人的样子,就自己卑微,存心顺服以至于死,且死在十字架上。

无不口称耶稣为主

所以神将他升为至高,又赐给他那超乎万名之上的名, 10 叫一切在天上的、地上的和地底下的,因耶稣的名无不屈膝, 11 无不口称耶稣基督为主,使荣耀归于父神。

12 这样看来,我亲爱的弟兄,你们既是常顺服的,不但我在你们那里,就是我如今不在你们那里,更是顺服的,就当恐惧战兢,做成你们得救的工夫。 13 因为你们立志行事,都是神在你们心里运行,为要成就他的美意。

门徒如明光照耀

14 凡所行的,都不要发怨言、起争论, 15 使你们无可指摘,诚实无伪,在这弯曲悖谬的世代做神无瑕疵的儿女。你们显在这世代中,好像明光照耀, 16 将生命的道表明出来,叫我在基督的日子好夸我没有空跑,也没有徒劳。 17 我以你们的信心为供献的祭物,我若被浇奠在其上,也是喜乐,并且与你们众人一同喜乐。 18 你们也要照样喜乐,并且与我一同喜乐。

保罗称赞提摩太

19 我靠主耶稣指望快打发提摩太去见你们,叫我知道你们的事,心里就得着安慰。 20 因为我没有别人与我同心,实在挂念你们的事。 21 别人都求自己的事,并不求耶稣基督的事。 22 但你们知道提摩太的明证,他兴旺福音与我同劳,待我像儿子待父亲一样。 23 所以,我一看出我的事要怎样了结,就盼望立刻打发他去; 24 但我靠着主,自信我也必快去。 25 然而,我想必须打发以巴弗提到你们那里去,他是我的兄弟,与我一同做工一同当兵,是你们所差遣的,也是供给我需用的。 26 他很想念你们众人,并且极其难过,因为你们听见他病了。 27 他实在是病了,几乎要死,然而神怜恤他,不但怜恤他,也怜恤我,免得我忧上加忧。 28 所以我越发急速打发他去,叫你们再见他就可以喜乐,我也可以少些忧愁。 29 故此,你们要在主里欢欢乐乐地接待他,而且要尊重这样的人, 30 因他为做基督的工夫几乎至死,不顾性命,要补足你们供给我的不及之处。

效法基督

所以,如果你们在基督里受到鼓励,得到爱的安慰,与圣灵相通,有慈悲和怜悯之心, 就要同心合意,彼此相爱,灵里合一,思想一致,好让我的喜乐更充足。 凡事不可自私自利、爱慕虚荣,要心存谦卑,看别人比自己强。 各人不要只顾自己的事,也要为别人的需要着想。 你们应当有基督耶稣那样的心肠。

祂虽然本质上是上帝,
却没有紧紧抓住自己与上帝平等的地位不放,
反而甘愿放下一切,
取了奴仆的形象,
降生为人的样子。
祂以人的样子出现后,
就自愿卑微,顺服至死,
而且死在十字架上。
因此,上帝将祂升为至尊,
赐给祂超乎万名之上的名,
10 使一切天上的、
地上的和地底下的,
无不屈膝跪拜在耶稣的名下,
11 无不口称耶稣基督是主,
将荣耀归于父上帝。

暗世明灯

12 所以,我亲爱的弟兄姊妹,既然我在你们那里的时候,你们一向都很顺服;如今我不在你们那里,你们更要顺服,要战战兢兢地活出得救后应有的生命。 13 因为你们立志和行事都是上帝在你们心中工作,为要成就祂美好的旨意。

14 无论做什么事,都不要抱怨,也不要与人争论, 15 好使你们在这个弯曲败坏的时代中无可指责、诚实无伪,做上帝纯洁无瑕的儿女,如同明光照耀在世上, 16 坚守生命之道。这样,到了基督再来的时候,我可以夸口自己没有空跑一场,也没有白费功夫。 17 你们的信心就是献给上帝的事奉和祭物,即使在上面浇奠我的生命,我也很喜乐,并且和你们大家一同喜乐。 18 同样,你们也要喜乐,要和我一同喜乐。

保罗的得力同工

19 如果主耶稣许可,我希望尽快派提摩太去你们那里,我好知道你们的近况,心里得到安慰。 20 因为没有人像他那样跟我一同真正关心你们的事。 21 别人都只顾自己的事,并不关心耶稣基督的事。 22 但你们知道提摩太的为人,我与他情同父子,一起事奉和传扬福音。 23 所以,我的案子一旦明朗了,我会立刻派他去见你们。 24 我深信如果主许可,我自己很快也会去你们那里。

25 另外,我觉得有必要让以巴弗提回到你们那里。他是我的弟兄、同工和战友,也是你们差遣来服侍我、供应我需用的。 26 他很想念你们,并且感到不安,因为你们听说了他患病的事。 27 他确实病了,几乎丧命,但上帝怜悯了他,不但怜悯他,也怜悯了我,没让我忧上加忧。 28 所以,我想尽快派他回去与你们相聚,好让你们喜乐,也可以减少我的挂虑。 29 你们要在主里欢欢喜喜地接待他,而且要敬重像他这样的人。 30 他为了基督的工作,将生死置之度外,几乎丧命,以弥补你们服侍我的不足之处。

效法基督

所以,如果你們在基督裡受到鼓勵,得到愛的安慰,與聖靈相通,有慈悲和憐憫之心, 就要同心合意,彼此相愛,靈裡合一,思想一致,好讓我的喜樂更充足。 凡事不可自私自利、愛慕虛榮,要心存謙卑,看別人比自己強。 各人不要只顧自己的事,也要為別人的需要著想。 你們應當有基督耶穌那樣的心腸。

祂雖然本質上是上帝,
卻沒有緊緊抓住自己與上帝平等的地位不放,
反而甘願放下一切,
取了奴僕的形像,
降生為人的樣子。
祂以人的樣子出現後,
就自願卑微,順服至死,
而且死在十字架上。
因此,上帝將祂升為至尊,
賜給祂超乎萬名之上的名,
10 使一切天上的、
地上的和地底下的,
無不屈膝跪拜在耶穌的名下,
11 無不口稱耶穌基督是主,
將榮耀歸於父上帝。

暗世明燈

12 所以,我親愛的弟兄姊妹,既然我在你們那裡的時候,你們一向都很順服;如今我不在你們那裡,你們更要順服,要戰戰兢兢地活出得救後應有的生命。 13 因為你們立志和行事都是上帝在你們心中工作,為要成就祂美好的旨意。

14 無論做什麼事,都不要抱怨,也不要與人爭論, 15 好使你們在這個彎曲敗壞的時代中無可指責、誠實無偽,作上帝純潔無瑕的兒女,如同明光照耀在世上, 16 堅守生命之道。這樣,到了基督再來的時候,我可以誇口自己沒有空跑一場,也沒有白費功夫。 17 你們的信心就是獻給上帝的事奉和祭物,即使在上面澆奠我的生命,我也很喜樂,並且和你們大家一同喜樂。 18 同樣,你們也要喜樂,要和我一同喜樂。

保羅的得力同工

19 如果主耶穌許可,我希望儘快派提摩太去你們那裡,我好知道你們的近況,心裡得到安慰。 20 因為沒有人像他那樣跟我一同真正關心你們的事。 21 別人都只顧自己的事,並不關心耶穌基督的事。 22 但你們知道提摩太的為人,我與他情同父子,一起事奉和傳揚福音。 23 所以,我的案子一旦明朗了,我會立刻派他去見你們。 24 我深信如果主許可,我自己很快也會去你們那裡。

25 另外,我覺得有必要讓以巴弗提回到你們那裡。他是我的弟兄、同工和戰友,也是你們差遣來服侍我、供應我需用的。 26 他很想念你們,並且感到不安,因為你們聽說了他患病的事。 27 他確實病了,幾乎喪命;但上帝憐憫了他,不但憐憫他,也憐憫了我,沒讓我憂上加憂。 28 所以,我想儘快派他回去與你們相聚,好讓你們喜樂,也可以減少我的掛慮。 29 你們要在主裡歡歡喜喜地接待他,而且要敬重像他這樣的人。 30 他為了基督的工作,將生死置之度外,幾乎喪命,以彌補你們服侍我的不足之處。

Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing [if any entrails of mercy doing],

fill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing; [fulfill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, having the same charity, of one will, feeling the same thing;]

nothing by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher than himself;[a]

not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men. [not each by themselves beholding what things be their own, but those things that be of others.]

And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;

which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God; [which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God;]

but he lowed himself [but he meeked himself], taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,

and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death[b], yea, to the death of the cross.

For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name; [For which thing and God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all names;]

10 that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell's;

11 and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

12 Therefore, my most dear-worthy brethren [my most dear-worthy], as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.

13 For it is God that worketh in you, both to will [both to desire], and to perform, for good will.

14 And do ye all things without grumblings and doubtings; [Forsooth do ye all things without grutchings and doubtings;]

15 that ye be without plaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a depraved nation [in the middle of a shrewd nation] and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world [among whom ye shine as givers of light in the world;].

16 And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain. [holding together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither in vain travailed.]

17 But though I be offered, or slain, on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all. [But and if I be offered, or slain, upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and together thank you all.]

18 And for the same thing have ye joy, and thank ye me. [The same thing forsooth and ye have joy, and together thank me.]

19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you [Forsooth I hope in the Lord Jesus, me to send Timothy soon to you], that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.

20 For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.

21 For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.

22 But know ye the assay of him [Forsooth know ye the experiment, or assay, of him], for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.

23 Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, at once as I see what things be about me. [Forsooth I hope me to send him to you, anon as I shall see what things be about me.]

24 And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.

25 And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.

26 For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.

27 For he was sick [till] to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness [lest I had heaviness upon heaviness].

28 Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.

29 Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.

30 For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service. [For why for the work of Christ unto the death he went, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed to you with my service.]
