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。
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
King James Version
2 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
