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。

Ang Halimbawa ni Cristo
2 Kaya nga, yamang mayroong kasiglahan ang buhay kay Cristo, mayroong kaaliwan ng pag-ibig, mayroong pakikiisa ng Espiritu Santo, at mayroong kagandahang-loob at malasakit para sa isa't isa, 2 lubusin ninyo ang aking kagalakan; magkaroon kayo ng iisang kaisipan, mabuklod kayo sa iisang pag-ibig, at magkaisa kayo sa puso't diwa. 3 Huwag kayong gumawa ng anuman dahil sa pansariling layunin o pagyayabang; sa halip, bilang tanda ng pagpapakumbaba, ituring ninyong higit ang iba kaysa inyong mga sarili. 4 Pagmalasakitan ninyo ang kapakanan ng iba, at hindi lamang ang sa inyong sarili. 5 Nawa'y magkaroon kayo ng kaisipan na tulad ng kay Cristo Jesus.
6 Kahit taglay niya ang kalikasan ng Diyos,
hindi niya ipinagpilitang manatiling kapantay ng Diyos.
7 Sa halip, kusa niyang binitawan ang pagiging kapantay ng Diyos,
at namuhay na isang alipin.
Ipinanganak siya bilang tao.
At nang siya'y maging tao,
8 nagpakumbaba siya at naging masunurin hanggang kamatayan,
maging ito man ay kamatayan sa krus.
9 Dahil dito, siya'y lubusang itinaas ng Diyos,
at binigyan ng pangalang higit sa lahat ng pangalan.
10 Sa(A) gayon, sa pangalan ni Jesus
ay luluhod at magpupuri ang lahat
ng nasa langit, nasa lupa, at nasa ilalim ng lupa.[a]
11 At ang lahat ay magpapahayag na si Jesu-Cristo ay Panginoon,
sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama.
Maging Ulirang Anak ng Diyos
12 Kaya nga, mga minamahal, tulad ng inyong buong-pusong pagsunod noong ako'y kasama pa ninyo, lalo kayong maging masunurin ngayong ako'y malayo sa inyo. Pagsumikapan ninyong maging ganap ang inyong kaligtasan nang may lubusang paggalang at pag-ibig sa Diyos, 13 sapagkat ang Diyos ang kumikilos sa inyo upang inyong naisin at isagawa ang kanyang kalooban.
14 Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng bagay nang walang reklamo at pagtatalo, 15 upang(B) kayo'y maging mga ulirang anak ng Diyos, matuwid at walang kapintasan sa gitna ng sanlibutang baluktot at masama. Sa gayon, magsisilbi kayong mga ilaw sa kanila, tulad ng mga bituing nagniningning sa kalangitan, 16 habang ipinapahayag ninyo ang salitang nagbibigay-buhay. Sa gayon, sa Araw ni Cristo ay maipagmamalaki kong hindi nawalan ng kabuluhan ang mga hirap at pagod ko sa inyo.
17 Kung ang buhay ko ma'y ibuhos bilang handog para sa inyong paglilingkod at pananampalataya sa Diyos, ako'y natutuwa at ang puso ko'y nakikigalak sa inyo. 18 Kaya magalak din kayo at bahaginan ninyo ako ng inyong kagalakan.
Sina Timoteo at Epafrodito
19 Umaasa ako sa Panginoong Jesus na mapapapunta ko agad riyan si Timoteo upang mapanatag ang aking loob kapag aking malaman mula sa kanya ang inyong kalagayan. 20 Wala nang hihigit sa kanya sa pakikiisa sa aking damdamin at pagmamalasakit para sa inyong kapakanan. 21 Ang inaatupag lamang ng iba ay ang sarili nilang kapakanan at hindi ang kay Jesu-Cristo. 22 Kayo na rin ang nakakaalam sa katapatan ni Timoteo. Kasama ko siya sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita. Tinulungan niya ako tulad ng pagtulong ng isang anak sa kanyang ama. 23 Kaya, binabalak kong papuntahin siya riyan pagkatapos kong matiyak ang magiging kalagayan ko rito. 24 Subalit ako'y umaasa, sa tulong ng Panginoon, na ako rin ay makakapunta riyan sa lalong madaling panahon.
25 Inisip kong kailangan nang papuntahin diyan ang ating kapatid na si Epafrodito, na aking kamanggagawa at kapwa kawal ng Diyos na isinugo ninyo upang magdala ng inyong kaloob, at upang makatulong sa akin. 26 Sabik na sabik na siya sa inyong lahat.[b] Nag-aalala siya dahil nabalitaan ninyong nagkasakit siya. 27 Totoong siya'y nagkasakit at muntik nang mamatay. Subalit kinahabagan siya ng Diyos, at hindi lamang siya kundi pati ako, upang huwag nang madagdagan pa ang aking kalungkutan.
28 Kaya nga, nais kong makapunta na siya riyan sapagkat alam kong matutuwa kayong makita siyang muli. Sa gayon, mawawala na ang aking kalungkutan. 29 Kaya, tanggapin ninyo siya nang buong galak bilang isang tunay na lingkod ng Panginoon. Igalang ninyo ang mga taong tulad niya. 30 Sapagkat muntik na siyang namatay alang-alang sa gawain para kay Cristo; itinaya niya ang kanyang buhay sa paglilingkod sa akin upang mapunuan ang hindi ninyo kayang gampanan.

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 Life Version
A Christian Should Not Be Proud
2 Are you strong because you belong to Christ? Does His love comfort you? Do you have joy by being as one in sharing the Holy Spirit? Do you have loving-kindness and pity for each other? 2 Then give me true joy by thinking the same thoughts. Keep having the same love. Be as one in thoughts and actions. 3 Nothing should be done because of pride or thinking about yourself. Think of other people as more important than yourself. 4 Do not always be thinking about your own plans only. Be happy to know what other people are doing.
Christ Was Not Proud
5 Think as Christ Jesus thought. 6 Jesus has always been as God is. But He did not hold to His rights as God. 7 He put aside everything that belonged to Him and made Himself the same as a servant who is owned by someone. He became human by being born as a man. 8 After He became a man, He gave up His important place and obeyed by dying on a cross. 9 Because of this, God lifted Jesus high above everything else. He gave Him a name that is greater than any other name. 10 So when the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow down before Him. 11 And every tongue will say Jesus Christ is Lord. Everyone will give honor to God the Father.
12 My Christian friends, you have obeyed me when I was with you. You have obeyed even more when I have been away. You must keep on working to show you have been saved from the punishment of sin. Be afraid that you may not please God. 13 He is working in you. God is helping you obey Him. God is doing what He wants done in you. 14 Be glad you can do the things you should be doing. Do all things without arguing and talking about how you wish you did not have to do them. 15 In that way, you can prove yourselves to be without blame. You are God’s children and no one can talk against you, even in a sin-loving and sin-sick world. You are to shine as lights among the sinful people of this world. 16 Take a strong hold on the Word of Life. Then when Christ comes again, I will be happy that I did not work with you for nothing. 17 Even if I give my life as a gift on the altar to God for you, I am glad and share this joy with you. 18 You must be happy and share your joy with me also.
Timothy Is Being Sent to You
19 I hope by the help of the Lord Jesus that I can send Timothy to you soon. It will comfort me when he brings news about you. 20 I have no one else who is as interested in you as Timothy. 21 Everyone else thinks of himself instead of Jesus Christ. 22 You know how Timothy proved to be such a true friend to me when we preached the Good News. He was like a son helping his father. 23 I hope to send Timothy as soon as I know what they are going to do to me. 24 I hope by the help of the Lord that I can come soon also.
25 I thought it was right that I send Epaphroditus back to you. You helped me by sending him to me. We have worked together like brothers. He was like a soldier fighting beside me. 26 He has been wanting to see all of you and was troubled because you heard he was sick. 27 It is true, he was sick. Yes, he almost died, but God showed loving-kindness to him and to me. If he had died, I would have had even more sorrow. 28 This is all the more reason I have sent him to you. When you see him, you will be glad and I will have less sorrow. 29 Take him into your church with joy. Show respect for men like him. 30 He came close to death while working for Christ. He almost died doing things for me that you could not do.
