Filipenses 2
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
2 Portanto, se há algum conforto em Cristo, se alguma consolação de amor, se alguma comunhão no Espírito, se alguns entranháveis afetos e compaixões, 2 completai o meu gozo, para que sintais o mesmo, tendo o mesmo amor, o mesmo ânimo, sentindo uma mesma coisa. 3 Nada façais por contenda ou por vanglória, mas por humildade; cada um considere os outros superiores a si mesmo. 4 Não atente cada um para o que é propriamente seu, mas cada qual também para o que é dos outros.
5 De sorte que haja em vós o mesmo sentimento que houve também em Cristo Jesus, 6 que, sendo em forma de Deus, não teve por usurpação ser igual a Deus. 7 Mas aniquilou-se a si mesmo, tomando a forma de servo, fazendo-se semelhante aos homens; 8 e, achado na forma de homem, humilhou-se a si mesmo, sendo obediente até à morte e morte de cruz. 9 Pelo que também Deus o exaltou soberanamente e lhe deu um nome que é sobre todo o nome, 10 para que ao nome de Jesus se dobre todo joelho dos que estão nos céus, e na terra, e debaixo da terra, 11 e toda língua confesse que Jesus Cristo é o Senhor, para glória de Deus Pai.
12 De sorte que, meus amados, assim como sempre obedecestes, não só na minha presença, mas muito mais agora na minha ausência, assim também operai a vossa salvação com temor e tremor; 13 porque Deus é o que opera em vós tanto o querer como o efetuar, segundo a sua boa vontade. 14 Fazei todas as coisas sem murmurações nem contendas; 15 para que sejais irrepreensíveis e sinceros, filhos de Deus inculpáveis no meio duma geração corrompida e perversa, entre a qual resplandeceis como astros no mundo; 16 retendo a palavra da vida, para que, no Dia de Cristo, possa gloriar-me de não ter corrido nem trabalhado em vão. 17 E, ainda que seja oferecido por libação sobre o sacrifício e serviço da vossa fé, folgo e me regozijo com todos vós. 18 E vós também regozijai-vos e alegrai-vos comigo por isto mesmo.
Elogio de Timóteo e Epafrodito, os mensageiros de Paulo junto aos filipenses
19 E espero, no Senhor Jesus, que em breve vos mandarei Timóteo, para que também eu esteja de bom ânimo, sabendo dos vossos negócios. 20 Porque a ninguém tenho de igual sentimento, que sinceramente cuide do vosso estado; 21 porque todos buscam o que é seu e não o que é de Cristo Jesus. 22 Mas bem sabeis qual a sua experiência, e que serviu comigo no evangelho, como filho ao pai. 23 De sorte que espero enviá-lo a vós logo que tenha provido a meus negócios. 24 Mas confio no Senhor que também eu mesmo, em breve, irei ter convosco. 25 Julguei, contudo, necessário mandar-vos Epafrodito, meu irmão, e cooperador, e companheiro nos combates, e vosso enviado para prover às minhas necessidades; 26 porquanto tinha muitas saudades de vós todos e estava muito angustiado de que tivésseis ouvido que ele estivera doente. 27 E, de fato, esteve doente e quase à morte, mas Deus se apiedou dele e não somente dele, mas também de mim, para que eu não tivesse tristeza sobre tristeza. 28 Por isso, vo-lo enviei mais depressa, para que, vendo-o outra vez, vos regozijeis, e eu tenha menos tristeza. 29 Recebei-o, pois, no Senhor, com todo o gozo, e tende-o em honra: 30 porque, pela obra de Cristo, chegou até bem próximo da morte, não fazendo caso da vida, para suprir para comigo a falta do vosso serviço.
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)

Nuova Riveduta 2006
Cristo, esempio di umiltà
2 (A)Se dunque v’è qualche consolazione in Cristo, se vi è qualche conforto d’amore, se vi è qualche comunione di Spirito, se vi è qualche tenerezza di affetto e qualche compassione, 2 rendete perfetta la mia gioia, avendo un medesimo pensare, un medesimo amore, essendo di un animo solo e di un unico sentimento. 3 Non fate nulla per spirito di parte o per vanagloria, ma ciascuno, con umiltà, stimi gli altri superiori a se stesso, 4 cercando ciascuno non il proprio interesse, ma {anche} quello degli altri. 5 Abbiate in voi lo stesso sentimento che è stato anche in Cristo Gesù, 6 il quale, pur essendo in forma di Dio, non considerò l’essere uguale a Dio qualcosa a cui aggrapparsi gelosamente[a], 7 ma svuotò se stesso, prendendo forma di servo, divenendo simile agli uomini; 8 trovato esteriormente come un uomo, umiliò se stesso, facendosi ubbidiente fino alla morte, e alla morte di croce. 9 Perciò Dio lo ha sovranamente innalzato e gli ha dato il nome[b] che è al di sopra di ogni nome, 10 affinché nel nome di Gesù si pieghi ogni ginocchio nei cieli, sulla terra, e sotto terra, 11 e ogni lingua confessi che Gesù Cristo è il Signore, alla gloria di Dio Padre[c].
Esortazione alla santificazione
12 (B)Così, miei cari, voi che foste sempre ubbidienti, non solo come quando ero presente, ma molto più adesso che sono assente, adoperatevi al compimento della vostra salvezza con timore e tremore; 13 infatti è Dio che produce in voi il volere e l’agire, secondo il suo disegno benevolo. 14 Fate ogni cosa senza mormorii e senza dispute, 15 perché siate irreprensibili e integri, figli di Dio senza biasimo in mezzo a una generazione storta e perversa, nella quale risplendete come astri nel mondo, 16 tenendo alta la parola di vita, in modo che nel giorno di Cristo io possa vantarmi di non aver corso invano, né invano faticato. 17 Ma se anche vengo offerto in libazione sul sacrificio e sul servizio della vostra fede, ne gioisco e me ne rallegro con tutti voi; 18 e nello stesso modo gioitene anche voi e rallegratevene con me.
Missione di Timoteo ed Epafròdito
19 (C)Ora spero nel Signore Gesù di mandarvi presto Timoteo per essere io pure incoraggiato nel ricevere vostre notizie. 20 Infatti non ho nessuno di animo pari al suo che abbia sinceramente a cuore quel che vi concerne. 21 Poiché tutti cercano i loro propri interessi, e non quelli di Cristo Gesù. 22 Voi sapete che egli ha dato buona prova di sé, perché ha servito con me la causa del vangelo, come un figlio con il proprio padre. 23 Spero dunque di mandarvelo appena avrò visto come andrà a finire la mia situazione; 24 ma ho fiducia nel Signore di poter venire presto anch’io.
25 (D)Però ho ritenuto necessario mandarvi Epafròdito, mio fratello, mio compagno di lavoro e di lotta, inviatomi da voi per provvedere alle mie necessità; 26 egli aveva un gran desiderio di vedervi tutti ed era preoccupato perché avevate saputo della sua malattia. 27 È stato ammalato, infatti, e ben vicino alla morte, ma Dio ha avuto pietà di lui; e non soltanto di lui, ma anche di me, perché io non avessi dolore su dolore. 28 Perciò ve l’ho mandato con gran premura, affinché vedendolo di nuovo vi rallegriate, e anch’io sia meno afflitto. 29 Accoglietelo dunque nel Signore con ogni gioia e abbiate stima di uomini simili; 30 perché è per l’opera di Cristo che egli è stato molto vicino alla morte, avendo rischiato la propria vita per supplire ai servizi che non potevate rendermi voi stessi.

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.
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.
