¶ Por tanto, si hay en vosotros alguna consolación en el Cristo; si algún refrigerio de caridad; si alguna comunión del Espíritu; si algunas entrañas y misericordias,

cumplid mi gozo; que sintáis lo mismo, teniendo una misma caridad, unánimes, sintiendo una misma cosa.

Nada hagáis por contienda o por vanagloria; antes bien en humildad, estimándoos inferiores los unos a los otros;

no mirando cada uno a lo que es suyo, mas a lo que es de los otros.

Haya, pues, en vosotros este sentir que hubo también en el Cristo Jesús;

que siendo en forma de Dios, no tuvo por usurpación ser igual a Dios;

sin embargo, se anonadó a sí mismo, tomando forma de esclavo, hecho semejante a los hombres;

y hallado en la condición como hombre, se humilló a sí mismo, hecho obediente hasta la muerte, y muerte del madero.

Por lo cual Dios también le ensalzó a lo sumo, y le dio un nombre que es sobre todo nombre;

10 que al Nombre de Jesús toda rodilla de lo celestial, de lo terrenal, y de lo infernal se doble.

11 Y todo lenguaje confiese que el Señor Jesús el Cristo está en la gloria de Dios, el Padre.

12 ¶ Por tanto, amados míos, como siempre habéis oído, no como en mi presencia solamente, sino mucho más ahora en mi ausencia, obrad vuestra salud con temor y temblor;

13 porque Dios es el que en vosotros obra así el querer como el hacer, por su buena voluntad.

14 ¶ Haced todo sin murmuraciones o dudas,

15 para que seáis irreprensibles e inocentes, hijos de Dios sin culpa en medio de la generación maligna y perversa, entre los cuales resplandecéis como luminares en el mundo;

16 reteniendo la Palabra de vida para que yo pueda gloriarme en el día del Cristo, que no he corrido en vano, ni trabajado en vano.

17 Y aun si soy derramado en libación sobre el sacrificio y servicio de vuestra fe, me gozo y congratulo por todos vosotros.

18 Y asimismo gozaos también vosotros, y regocijaos conmigo.

19 Mas espero en el Señor Jesús enviaros pronto a Timoteo, para que yo también esté de buen ánimo, entendido vuestro estado.

20 Porque a ninguno tengo tan unánime, y que con sincera afición esté solícito por vosotros.

21 Porque todos buscan lo que es suyo propio, no lo que es de Cristo Jesús.

22 Pero la experiencia de él habéis conocido, que como hijo a padre ha servido conmigo en el Evangelio.

23 Así que a éste espero enviaros, luego que yo viere cómo van mis negocios;

24 y confío en el Señor que yo también iré pronto a vosotros.

25 Mas tuve por cosa necesaria enviaros a Epafrodito, hermano, y compañero y consiervo mío, y vuestro mensajero, y ministrador de mis necesidades;

26 porque tenía gran deseo de veros a todos vosotros, y gravemente se angustió porque habíais oído que había enfermado.

27 Pues en verdad estuvo enfermo a la muerte, pero Dios tuvo misericordia de él; y no solamente de él, sino aun de mí, para que yo no tuviera tristeza sobre tristeza.

28 Así que le envío más pronto, para que viéndole os volváis a gozar, y yo esté con menos tristeza.

29 Recibidle pues en el Señor con todo gozo; y tened en estima a los tales,

30 porque por la obra del Cristo estuvo cercano a la muerte, poniendo su vida para suplir vuestra falta en mi servicio.

Christ’s Humility and Exaltation

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any (A)fellowship of the Spirit, if any [a](B)affection and compassion, (C)fulfill my joy, that (D)you think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose, doing nothing [b]from [c](E)selfish ambition or (F)vain glory, but with humility of mind (G)regarding one another as more important than yourselves, (H)not merely looking out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. (I)Have this way of thinking [d]in yourselves which was also in (J)Christ Jesus, who, although (K)existing in the (L)form of God, (M)did not regard equality with God a thing [e]to be grasped, but [f](N)emptied Himself, by taking the form of a (O)slave, by (P)being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man, (Q)He humbled Himself by becoming (R)obedient to the point of death, even (S)death [g]on a cross. (T)Therefore, God also (U)highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him (V)the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (W)every knee will bow, of (X)those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that (Y)every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is [h](Z)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 So then, my beloved, (AA)just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your (AB)salvation with (AC)fear and trembling; 13 for it is (AD)God who is at work in you, both to will and to work (AE)for His good pleasure.

14 Do all things without (AF)grumbling or disputing, 15 so that you will be (AG)blameless and innocent, (AH)children of God without blemish in the midst of a (AI)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you (AJ)shine as [i]lights in the world, 16 holding [j]fast the word of life, so that in (AK)the day of Christ I will have reason to boast because I did not (AL)run in vain nor (AM)labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being (AN)poured out as a drink offering upon (AO)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 And you also, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus Sent

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to (AP)send (AQ)Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be in good spirits when I learn of your circumstances. 20 For I have no one else (AR)of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned about your circumstances. 21 For they all (AS)seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know (AT)of his proven worth, that (AU)he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel (AV)like a child serving his father. 23 (AW)Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I [k]evaluate my own circumstances, 24 and (AX)I am confident in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly. 25 But I regarded it necessary to send to you (AY)Epaphroditus, my brother and (AZ)fellow worker and (BA)fellow soldier, who is also your [l](BB)messenger and (BC)minister to my need; 26 because he was longing [m]for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned. 29 (BD)Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and (BE)hold men like him in high regard 30 because he came close to death [n](BF)for the work of Christ, risking his life to (BG)fulfill [o]what was lacking in your service to me.

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

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.
