Filipenses 2
Palabra de Dios para Todos
2 ¿Lo que les escribo los anima en Cristo? ¿Quieren consolarme mostrándome cuánto me aman? ¿Compartimos el mismo Espíritu? ¿Me tienen verdadero afecto y compasión? 2 Entonces voy a pedirles algo que me haría completamente feliz: tengan la misma manera de pensar, el mismo amor y las mismas metas. 3 No hagan nada por rivalidad ni orgullo. Sean humildes y cada uno considere a los demás como más importantes que sí mismo. 4 Que cada uno no busque su propio bien, sino el de los demás.
Humillación y grandeza de Cristo
5 Piensen y actúen como Jesucristo. Esa es la «misma manera de pensar» que les estoy pidiendo que tengan.
6 Él era como Dios en todo sentido,
pero no se aprovechó de ser igual a Dios.
7 Al contrario, él se quitó ese honor,
aceptó hacerse un siervo
y nacer como un ser humano.
Al vivir como hombre,
8 se humilló a sí mismo
y fue obediente hasta el extremo de morir en la cruz.
9 Por eso, Dios le dio el más alto honor
y el nombre que está por sobre todos los nombres,
10 para que se arrodillen ante Jesús
todos los que están en el cielo,
en la tierra y debajo de la tierra,
11 y para que todos reconozcan que Jesucristo es el Señor,
dando así honra a Dios Padre.
Cómo se debe vivir
12 Así pues, estimados hermanos, ustedes siempre han obedecido lo que se les enseñó. Entonces tal como lo hacían mientras estaba con ustedes, es aun más importante que obedezcan ahora que no estoy con ustedes. Procuren la salvación de todos ustedes, y háganlo con temor y respeto hacia Dios. 13 Dios está obrando entre ustedes. Él despierta en ustedes el deseo de hacer lo que a él le agrada y les da el poder para hacerlo.
14 Hagan todo sin quejarse y sin discutir. 15 Así serán hijos de Dios, sin culpa y sin falta viviendo entre una generación perversa y mala. De esa forma brillarán entre ellos como estrellas en un mundo de oscuridad. 16 Ustedes les están ofreciendo un mensaje de vida. Así, cuando Cristo regrese, tendré el gusto de hablar bien de ustedes y podré decir que mi lucha y trabajo por ustedes valió la pena. 17 Y aunque es posible que tenga que dar mi vida para completar el sacrificio que ustedes hacen por su fe, lo haré con alegría y compartiré esa alegría con todos ustedes. 18 Alégrense también conmigo y compartan mi alegría.
Noticias de Timoteo y Epafrodito
19 Espero, si es la voluntad del Señor Jesús, enviarles pronto a Timoteo, pues me hará feliz saber cómo están. 20 No hay otro como Timoteo, él realmente se preocupa por ustedes y por su bienestar. 21 Todos se preocupan sólo por conseguir su propio bien y no por seguir a Jesucristo. 22 Pero ustedes ya conocen los méritos de Timoteo, él me ha ayudado a anunciar la buena noticia de salvación como un hijo que sirve a su padre. 23 Así que espero poder enviárselo tan pronto sepa lo que va a pasar conmigo; 24 y confío en el Señor que yo mismo podré ir pronto a visitarles.
25 Considero necesario que vuelva a ustedes Epafrodito, mi hermano en Cristo, buen colaborador y compañero de lucha. Aprecio que me lo hayan enviado como su representante para rendir un servicio sacrificial en beneficio mío ayudándome en mi necesidad. 26 Lo envío porque tiene muchas ganas de verlos y está preocupado porque ustedes supieron que estuvo enfermo. 27 En realidad sí estuvo muy enfermo, a punto de morir; sin embargo, Dios tuvo compasión de él y también la tuvo de mí para que yo no tuviera tristeza sobre tristeza. 28 Por eso se lo envío pronto para que cuando lo vean se sientan otra vez muy felices y yo esté menos triste. 29 Recíbanlo llenos de alegría como creyente en el Señor. Aprecien mucho a los que son como Epafrodito 30 porque él puso en peligro su vida por servir a Cristo. Arriesgó su vida al prestarme el servicio que ustedes no me podían prestar personalmente.

Philippians 2
New King James Version
Unity Through Humility
2 Therefore if there is any [a]consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any (A)affection and mercy, 2 (B)fulfill my joy (C)by being like-minded, having the same love, being of (D)one accord, of one mind. 3 (E)Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but (F)in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 (G)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of (H)others.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5 (I)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, (J)being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, 7 (K)but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form (L)of a bondservant, and (M)coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and (N)became (O)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 (P)Therefore God also (Q)has highly exalted Him and (R)given Him the name which is above every name, 10 (S)that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and (T)that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Light Bearers
12 Therefore, my beloved, (U)as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, (V)work out your own salvation with (W)fear and trembling; 13 for (X)it is God who works in you both to will and to do (Y)for His good pleasure.
14 Do all things (Z)without [d]complaining and (AA)disputing,[e] 15 that you may become blameless and [f]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as (AB)lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that (AC)I may rejoice in the day of Christ that (AD)I have not run in vain or labored in (AE)vain.
17 Yes, and if (AF)I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice (AG)and service of your faith, (AH)I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy Commended
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send (AI)Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your [g]state. 20 For I have no one (AJ)like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know his proven character, (AK)that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. 24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
Epaphroditus Praised
25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you (AL)Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and (AM)fellow soldier, (AN)but your messenger and (AO)the one who ministered to my need; 26 (AP)since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful. 29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem; 30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death, [h]not regarding his life, (AQ)to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

Philippians 2
New International Version
Imitating Christ’s Humility
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,(A) if any tenderness and compassion,(B) 2 then make my joy complete(C) by being like-minded,(D) having the same love, being one(E) in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(F) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(G) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(H)
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(I)
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(J)
did not consider equality with God(K) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(L)
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(M)
being made in human likeness.(N)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death(O)—
even death on a cross!(P)
9 Therefore God exalted him(Q) to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,(R)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(S)
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(T)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(U)
to the glory of God the Father.
Do Everything Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,(V) 13 for it is God who works in you(W) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(X)
14 Do everything without grumbling(Y) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(Z) and pure, “children of God(AA) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[c](AB) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(AC) that I did not run(AD) or labor in vain.(AE) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(AF) on the sacrifice(AG) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(AH) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy(AI) to you soon,(AJ) that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him,(AK) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests,(AL) not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father(AM) he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.(AN) 24 And I am confident(AO) in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker(AP) and fellow soldier,(AQ) who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.(AR) 26 For he longs for all of you(AS) and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him,(AT) so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,(AU) 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.(AV)
