腓立比書 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
當以基督的心為心
2 所以,在基督裡若有什麼勸勉,愛心有什麼安慰,聖靈有什麼交通,心中有什麼慈悲憐憫, 2 你們就要意念相同,愛心相同,有一樣的心思,有一樣的意念,使我的喜樂可以滿足。 3 凡事不可結黨,不可貪圖虛浮的榮耀,只要存心謙卑,各人看別人比自己強。 4 各人不要單顧自己的事,也要顧別人的事。 5 你們當以基督耶穌的心為心。 6 他本有神的形象,不以自己與神同等為強奪的, 7 反倒虛己,取了奴僕的形象,成為人的樣式; 8 既有人的樣子,就自己卑微,存心順服以至於死,且死在十字架上。
無不口稱耶穌為主
9 所以神將他升為至高,又賜給他那超乎萬名之上的名, 10 叫一切在天上的、地上的和地底下的,因耶穌的名無不屈膝, 11 無不口稱耶穌基督為主,使榮耀歸於父神。
12 這樣看來,我親愛的弟兄,你們既是常順服的,不但我在你們那裡,就是我如今不在你們那裡,更是順服的,就當恐懼戰兢,做成你們得救的工夫。 13 因為你們立志行事,都是神在你們心裡運行,為要成就他的美意。
門徒如明光照耀
14 凡所行的,都不要發怨言、起爭論, 15 使你們無可指摘,誠實無偽,在這彎曲悖謬的世代做神無瑕疵的兒女。你們顯在這世代中,好像明光照耀, 16 將生命的道表明出來,叫我在基督的日子好誇我沒有空跑,也沒有徒勞。 17 我以你們的信心為供獻的祭物,我若被澆奠在其上,也是喜樂,並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。 18 你們也要照樣喜樂,並且與我一同喜樂。
保羅稱讚提摩太
19 我靠主耶穌指望快打發提摩太去見你們,叫我知道你們的事,心裡就得著安慰。 20 因為我沒有別人與我同心,實在掛念你們的事。 21 別人都求自己的事,並不求耶穌基督的事。 22 但你們知道提摩太的明證,他興旺福音與我同勞,待我像兒子待父親一樣。 23 所以,我一看出我的事要怎樣了結,就盼望立刻打發他去; 24 但我靠著主,自信我也必快去。 25 然而,我想必須打發以巴弗提到你們那裡去,他是我的兄弟,與我一同做工一同當兵,是你們所差遣的,也是供給我需用的。 26 他很想念你們眾人,並且極其難過,因為你們聽見他病了。 27 他實在是病了,幾乎要死,然而神憐恤他,不但憐恤他,也憐恤我,免得我憂上加憂。 28 所以我越發急速打發他去,叫你們再見他就可以喜樂,我也可以少些憂愁。 29 故此,你們要在主裡歡歡樂樂地接待他,而且要尊重這樣的人, 30 因他為做基督的工夫幾乎至死,不顧性命,要補足你們供給我的不及之處。
Philippians 2
Lexham English Bible
Humility and Unity
2 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, 2 complete my joy, so that you are in agreement[a], having the same love, united in spirit, having one purpose[b]. 3 Do nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves, 4 each of you[c] not looking out for your own interests[d], but also each of you for the interests[e] of others.
Christ’s Humiliation and Exaltation
5 Think this in[f] yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself
by[g] taking the form of a slave,
by[h] becoming in the likeness of people.
And being found in appearance like a man,
8 he humbled himself
by[i] becoming obedient to the point of death,
that is, death on a cross.
9 Therefore also God exalted him
and graciously granted him the name above every name,
10 so 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 every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Holding Fast to the Word of Life
12 Therefore my dear friends, just as you 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 the one at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure, is God. 14 Do all things without grumbling and disputing, 15 in order that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without fault[j] in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as stars in the world,[k] 16 holding fast to the word of life, for a source of pride[l] to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with all of you. 18 And in the same way also you rejoice and rejoice with me.
Timothy’s Proven Character
19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged when I[m] know your circumstances[n]. 20 For I have no one like-minded who will sincerely be concerned about your circumstances[o]. 21 For they all seek their own interests[p], not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see my circumstances[q]. 24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.
Epaphroditus’ Mission
25 But I considered it[r] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need, 26 because he was longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but also on me, so that I would not have grief upon grief. 28 Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that when[s] you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious. 29 Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such people highly honored, 30 because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that he might make up for your inability to serve me[t].
