腓立比书 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
当以基督的心为心
2 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, 2 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。 3 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。 4 各人不要单顾自己的事,也要顾别人的事。 5 你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。 6 他本有神的形象,不以自己与神同等为强夺的, 7 反倒虚己,取了奴仆的形象,成为人的样式; 8 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
9 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。
腓 立 比 書 2
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
团结一致,互相关心
2 那么,在基督之中,你们是否受到了鼓励,是否有发自爱的安慰,是否共享着圣灵,是否有温情和仁慈? 2 如果你们具备这些,会令我非常高兴。我要求你们心往一处想,彼此相爱,一心一意,抱有共同的目标。 3 做任何事情都不要出于自私自利和骄傲自大,要谦卑,要视他人高于自己。 4 不要只顾自己的利益,也要关心别人的利益。
学习基督的无私
5 在生活中,你们要想耶稣基督之所想。
6 虽然基督在本质上就是上帝,但他没有认为与上帝平等是用作自己优越的事情。
7 相反,他放弃了一切,取了奴隶的本性,和人类一样。 8 当他在外表变得和人类一样时,他自甘卑微,甚至顺服到了死的地步,不惜死在十字架上。
9 所以上帝抬举他到了最高的地位,把他的名字凌驾于所有的名字之上, 10 好让众生都拜倒在耶稣名下,不论是在天堂、地上、还是地下, 11 并让所有的人都承认耶稣基督是主,这将给父上帝带来荣耀。
成为上帝期待的人
12 所以,我亲爱的朋友,要像你们一贯遵从我的指示那样,不仅仅你们和我在一起时这么做,当我不在你们那里时更要如此。要怀着敬畏的心情,为彻底完成你们的拯救继续工作。 13 上帝在你们中间工作着,他不但帮助你们去做令他喜悦的事情,而且还赐给你们做这些事情的能力。
14 做任何事情都不要抱怨与争吵,
17 你们的信仰使你们献出自己的生命做为祭献,为上帝服务。也许我将与你们的祭献一同抛撒热血。如果这一切发生了,我会非常快乐,并且还要与你们所有的人分享我的喜悦; 18 同样,你们也要快乐,并且与我分享你们的喜悦。
提摩太和以巴弗提的消息
19 我希望在主耶稣的帮助下,很快便派提摩太到你们那里去,以便能得到你们的消息,使我受到鼓舞。 20 他是我要派去的人,因为他是唯一与我同心并真正关心你们利益的人。 21 其他的人追求的只是他们自己的利益,而不是耶稣基督的利益。 22 你们了解提摩太的品格,他像儿子侍奉父亲那样,和我一起深入传播福音。 23 一旦我知道自己事情的结局后,便立即派他到你们那里去。 24 我相信,在上帝的帮助下我自己很快也会去的。
25 我还认为有必要派以巴弗提回到你们那里去。他是我的兄弟、同事、战友。他代表你们,在我需要时帮助了我。他一直渴望见到你们,我便决定派他去。 26 他还因为你们听说他患病的消息而感到难过。 27 他的确病了,几乎死去,但上帝怜悯他。上帝不仅怜悯他,也怜悯我,使我没有遭受到更大的忧伤。 28 所以我更急切要派他去,让你们看到他,使你们能高兴起来,这也可以消除我的忧伤。 29 要在主内欢欢喜喜地欢迎他,要敬重这样的人, 30 他为了基督的工作几乎死掉。他冒着生命危险弥补了你们无法给予我的帮助。
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.
