腓立比書 2
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
基督徒的謙卑
2 所以,你們如果在基督裡有任何鼓勵、任何愛的安慰、任何聖靈裡的契合[a]、任何情感和憐憫, 2 你們就要同心合意——愛心一致、靈裡一致、意念一致,好使我的喜樂得以滿足。 3 做任何事都不要出於爭競[b],也不可出於虛榮,而要以謙卑的心,各人看別人比自己強; 4 每個人不要只注重自己的事,也要注重別人的事。
基督的榜樣
5 你們應當有這樣的意念,這也是基督耶穌的意念。
6 雖然他就是神本體的存在,
卻不把與神同等看做是一件要強抓不放的事,
7 反而倒空自己,
取了奴僕的形像,成為人的樣式,
以人的形態出現,
8 降卑自己,順從至死,
甚至死在十字架上!
9 因此神使他升為至高,
賜給他那超越萬名之上的名,
10 好使天上、地上和地底下的一切,
因耶穌的名都屈膝,
11 萬口為了父神的榮耀
要承認耶穌基督是主。
做世界的光
12 因此,我親愛的各位,既然你們一直是順從的——不僅我在的時候如此,現今我不在的時候更加順從——就當懷著敬畏和戰兢的心,把你們的救恩行出來, 13 因為是神在你們裡面運作,使你們願意並且能行出他的美意。 14 做任何事都不要抱怨或爭論[c], 15 好使你們成為無可指責、純潔無偽的人,在這扭曲、敗壞的世代中,做神毫無瑕疵的兒女;在這世代中,要像星星的光輝一樣照耀在世上。 16 你們要持守生命的話語,好讓我在基督的日子[d]裡可以誇耀我所奔跑的沒有落空,我所勞苦的也沒有落空。 17 然而,即使我被做為奠祭,澆在你們信仰的祭物和服事上,我也歡喜,並且和你們大家一同歡喜; 18 你們也應該照樣歡喜,並且與我一同歡喜。
提摩太與以帕弗迪托
19 我在主耶穌裡,希望不久能派提摩太到你們那裡去,好讓我也知道有關你們的事,可以心情愉快。 20 實際上,我沒有別的人與我同心,真正地掛慮你們的事; 21 因為大家都尋求自己的事,不尋求耶穌基督的事。 22 但是,你們是知道提摩太那經過考驗的品德。因為他在福音工作上與我一起服事[e],就像兒子與父親那樣。 23 所以我希望,一旦知道我的事有什麼結局[f],就立即派他去。 24 不過我在主裡深信,我自己不久也會去的。
25 然而,我認為必須派以帕弗迪托到你們那裡去;他是我的弟兄、同工、戰友,也是你們的使者,是為我的需要而來的服事者, 26 因為他一直切切地想念你們大家,並且因你們聽說他患了病,他就極其難過。 27 事實上,他雖然患了病幾乎死去,可是神憐憫了他;不僅憐憫他,也憐憫了我,免得我憂上加憂。 28 所以,我就更迫切地派他去,好讓你們見到他,能夠再次歡喜,而我也可以少些掛慮。 29 因此,你們要在主裡滿懷喜樂地歡迎他,也要敬重這樣的人, 30 因為他為了基督的工作,幾乎至死,冒了生命的危險,為要彌補你們服事我的缺乏。
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
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)

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.
