腓立比书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
效法基督
2 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， 2 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。 3 凡事不可自私自利、爱慕虚荣，要心存谦卑，看别人比自己强。 4 各人不要只顾自己的事，也要为别人的需要着想。 5 你们应当有基督耶稣那样的心肠。
6 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，
7 反而甘愿放下一切，
取了奴仆的形象，
降生为人的样子。
8 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。
9 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。
腓立比书 2
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
效法基督的謙卑
2 所以，你們在基督裡若有甚麼鼓勵，有甚麼愛心的安慰，有甚麼靈裡的契通，有甚麼慈悲和憐憫， 2 就應當有同樣的思想，同樣的愛心，要心志相同，思想一致，使我充滿喜樂。 3 不要自私自利，也不要貪圖虛榮，只要謙卑，看別人比自己強； 4 各人不要單顧自己的事，也要顧別人的事。 5 你們應當有這樣的思想，這也是基督耶穌的思想。（全節或譯：“你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。”） 6 他本來有 神的形象，卻不堅持自己與 神平等的地位， 7 反而倒空自己，取了奴僕的形象，成為人的樣式； 8 既然有人的樣子，就自甘卑微，順服至死，而且死在十字架上。 9 因此 神把他升為至高，並且賜給他超過萬名之上的名。 10 使天上、地上和地底下的一切，因著耶穌的名，都要屈膝， 11 並且口裡承認耶穌基督為主，使榮耀歸給父 神。
顯出生命之道
12 這樣看來，我所親愛的，你們素來是順服的，（不但我在你們那裡的時候是這樣，現今我不在，你們更要順服，）就應當恐懼戰兢地作成自己的救恩。 13 神為了成全自己的美意，就在你們裡面動工，使你們可以立志和行事。 14 無論作甚麼，都不要發怨言、起爭論， 15 好使你們無可指摘、純真無邪，在這彎曲乖謬的世代中，作 神沒有瑕疵的兒女；你們要在這世代中發光，好像天上的光體一樣， 16 把生命的道顯揚出來，使我在基督的日子可以誇耀我沒有空跑，也沒有徒勞。 17 即使把我澆奠在你們信心的祭物和供奉上，我也喜樂，並且和你們大家一同喜樂。 18 照樣，你們也要喜樂，並且要和我一同喜樂。
提摩太的為人
19 我靠著主耶穌，希望不久就會差提摩太到你們那裡去，使我們知道你們的情況，可以得到鼓勵。 20 沒有人與我同心，真正關心你們的事， 21 因為大家只顧自己的事，而不理耶穌基督的事。 22 不過，你們知道提摩太已證明了他的為人，他和我一同為了福音服事主，就像兒子跟父親一樣。 23 所以，等我看出自己的事會怎樣了結之後，我希望立刻差他去； 24 而且靠著主，我相信自己不久也會去。
忠心侍候的以巴弗提
25 然而我認為必須差以巴弗提到你們那裡去，他是我的弟兄，與我一同作工一同作戰的，也是你們為我的需要差來服事我的。 26 他一直在想念你們眾人，並且因為你們聽見他病了，他就非常難過。 27 事實上他病得幾乎要死，然而 神憐憫了他；不但憐憫他，也憐憫我，免得我憂上加憂。 28 所以，我更急著差他去，讓你們再見到他，就可以喜樂，也可以減少我的掛慮。 29 因此，你們要在主裡歡歡喜喜地接待他，也要尊重這樣的人， 30 因他為了基督的工作，冒著生命的危險，差一點喪了命，為的是要補滿你們服事我不足的地方。
Philippians 2
Good News Translation
Christ's Humility and Greatness
2 Your life in Christ makes you strong, and his love comforts you. You have fellowship with the Spirit,[a] and you have kindness and compassion for one another. 2 I urge you, then, to make me completely happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and being one in soul and mind. 3 Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves. 4 And look out for one another's interests, not just for your own. 5 The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:
6 He always had the nature of God,
but he did not think that by force he should try to remain[b] equal with God.
7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had,
and took the nature of a servant.
He became like a human being
and appeared in human likeness.
8 He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death—
his death on the cross.
9 For this reason God raised him to the highest place above
and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.
10 (A)And so, in honor of the name of Jesus
all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below[c]
will fall on their knees,
11 and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Shining as Lights in the World
12 So then, dear friends, as you always obeyed me when I was with you, it is even more important that you obey me now while I am away from you. Keep on working with fear and trembling to complete your salvation, 13 because God is always at work in you to make you willing and able to obey his own purpose.
14 Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 (B)so that you may be innocent and pure as God's perfect children, who live in a world of corrupt and sinful people. You must shine among them like stars lighting up the sky, 16 as you offer them the message of life. If you do so, I shall have reason to be proud of you on the Day of Christ, because it will show that all my effort and work have not been wasted.
17 Perhaps my life's blood is to be poured out like an offering on the sacrifice that your faith offers to God. If that is so, I am glad and share my joy with you all. 18 In the same way, you too must be glad and share your joy with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 If it is the Lord's will, I hope that I will be able to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be encouraged by news about you. 20 He is the only one who shares my feelings and who really cares about you. 21 Everyone else is concerned only with their own affairs, not with the cause of Jesus Christ. 22 And you yourselves know how he has proved his worth, how he and I, like a son and his father, have worked together for the sake of the gospel. 23 So I hope to send him to you as soon as I know how things are going to turn out for me. 24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will be able to come to you soon.
25 I have thought it necessary to send to you our brother Epaphroditus, who has worked and fought by my side and who has served as your messenger in helping me. 26 He is anxious to see you all and is very upset because you had heard that he was sick. 27 Indeed he was sick and almost died. But God had pity on him, and not only on him but on me, too, and spared me an even greater sorrow. 28 I am all the more eager, then, to send him to you, so that you will be glad again when you see him, and my own sorrow will disappear. 29 Receive him, then, with joy, as a believer in the Lord. Show respect to all such people as he, 30 because he risked his life and nearly died for the sake of the work of Christ, in order to give me the help that you yourselves could not give.
