Filipos 2

Ang Biblia (1978)

2 Kaya nga kung mayroong anomang kasiglahan kay Cristo, kung mayroong anomang kaaliwan ng pagibig, kung mayroong anomang pakikisama ng Espiritu, ^(A)kung mayroong anomang ^(B)mahinahong awa at habag,

²Ay lubusin ninyo ang aking katuwaan, ^(C)upang kayo'y mangagkaisa ng pagiisip, mangagtaglay ng isa ring pagibig, na mangagkaisa ng akala, at isa lamang pagiisip;

³Na huwag ninyong gawin ang anoman sa pamamagitan ng ^(D)pagkakampikampi o sa pamamagitan ng pagpapalalo, kundi ^(E)sa kababaan ng pagiisip, ^(F)na ipalagay ng bawa't isa ang iba na lalong mabuti kay sa kaniyang sarili;

⁴Huwag tingnan ng bawa't isa sa inyo ang sa kaniyang sarili, kundi ang ^(G)bawa't isa naman ay sa iba't iba.

⁵Mangagkaroon kayo sa inyo ng pagiisip, na ^(H)ito'y na kay Cristo Jesus din naman:

⁶Na siya, bagama't ^(I)nasa anyong Dios, ^(J)ay hindi niya inaring isang bagay na nararapat panangnan ang pagkapantay niya sa Dios,

⁷Kundi bagkus ^(K)hinubad niya ito, ^(L)at naganyong alipin, na nakitulad sa mga tao:

⁸At palibhasa'y nasumpungan sa anyong tao, siya'y nagpakababa sa kaniyang sarili, ^(M)na nagmasunurin hanggang sa kamatayan, oo, sa kamatayan sa krus.

⁹^(N)Kaya siya naman ay pinakadakila ng ^(O)Dios, at ^(P)siya'y binigyan ng pangalang lalo sa lahat ng pangalan;

¹⁰Upang sa pangalan ni Jesus ay iluhod ang ^(Q)lahat ng tuhod, ng ^(R)nangasa langit, at ng nangasa ibabaw ng lupa, at ng nangasa ilalim ng lupa,

¹¹At upang ipahayag ng lahat ng mga dila na si Jesucristo ay ^(S)Panginoon, sa ikaluluwalhati ng Dios Ama.

¹²Kaya nga, mga minamahal ko, kung paano ang inyong laging pagsunod, na hindi lamang sa harapan ko, kundi bagkus pa ngayong ako'y wala, ay lubusin ninyo ang gawain ng inyong sariling pagkaligtas na may ^(T)takot at panginginig;

¹³Sapagka't ^(U)Dios ang gumagawa sa inyo maging sa pagnanasa at sa paggawa, ayon sa kaniyang mabuting kalooban.

¹⁴Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng mga bagay na walang mga bulungbulong at pagtatalo:

¹⁵Upang kayo'y maging walang sala at walang malay, ^(V)mga anak ng Dios na walang dungis ^(W)sa gitna ng isang lahing ^(X)liko at masama, na sa gitna nila'y lumiliwanag kayong ^(Y)tulad sa mga ilaw sa sanglibutan,

¹⁶Na nagpapahayag ^(Z)ng salita ng kabuhayan; upang may ipagkapuri ^(AA)ako sa kaarawan ni Cristo, na ^(AB)hindi ako tumakbo nang walang kabuluhan ^(AC)ni nagpagal man nang walang kabuluhan.

¹⁷Oo, kahit ^(AD)ako'y maging hain sa paghahandog ^(AE)at paglilingkod ng inyong pananampalataya, ^(AF)ako'y nakikipagkatuwa, at nakikigalak sa inyong lahat:

¹⁸At sa ganyan ding paraan kayo'y nakikipagkatuwa naman, at nakikigalak sa akin.

¹⁹Datapuwa't inaasahan ko sa Panginoong Jesus na suguing madali sa inyo si ^(AG)Timoteo, upang ako naman ay mapanatag, pagkaalam ko ng inyong kalagayan.

²⁰Sapagka't walang taong katulad ko ang pagiisip na magmamalasakit na totoo sa inyong kalagayan.

²¹Sapagka't ^(AH)pinagsisikapan nilang ^(AI)lahat ang sa kanilang sarili, hindi ang mga bagay ni Jesucristo.

²²Nguni't nalalaman ninyo ang pagkasubok sa kaniya ^(AJ)na gaya ng paglilingkod ng anak sa ama, ay gayon naglilingkod siyang kasama ko sa ikalalaganap ng evangelio.

²³Siya nga ang aking inaasahang suguin madali, pagkakita ko kung ano ang mangyayari sa akin:

²⁴Datapuwa't ^(AK)umaasa ako sa Panginoon, na diya'y makararating din naman akong madali.

²⁵Nguni't inakala kong kailangang suguin sa inyo si ^(AL)Epafrodito, na aking kapatid at kamanggagawa, at kapuwa kawal at inyong sugo at katiwala sa aking kailangan.

²⁶Yamang siya'y nananabik sa inyong lahat, at totoong siya'y namanglaw, sapagka't inyong nabalitaan na siya'y may-sakit:

²⁷Katotohanan ngang nagkasakit siya na malapit na sa kamatayan: nguni't kinahabagan siya ng Dios; at hindi lamang siya kundi pati ako, upang ako'y huwag magkaroon ng sapinsaping kalumbayan.

²⁸Siya nga'y sinugo kong may malaking pagpipilit, upang, pagkakitang muli ninyo sa kaniya, kayo'y mangagalak, at ako'y mabawasan ng kalumbayan.

²⁹Tanggapin nga ninyo siya sa Panginoon ng buong galak; at ang gayon ay papurihan ninyo:

³⁰Sapagka't dahil sa pagpapagal kay Cristo ay nalapit siya sa kamatayan, na isinasapanganib ang kaniyang buhay ^(AM)upang punan ang kakulangan sa inyong paglilingkod sa akin.

Filipos 2

Ang Salita ng Diyos

Pagtulad sa Pagpapakababa ni Cristo

2 Yamang mayroon kayong kalakasan ng loob kay Cristo, mayroon kayong kaaliwan sa kaniyang pag-ibig, mayroon kayong pakikipag-isa sa kaniyang Espiritu, mayroon kayong pagmamalasakit at kaawaan.

²Lubusin nga ninyo angaking kagalakan sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng iisang kaisipan, ng iisang pag-ibig, ng iisang kalooban at ngiisang pag-iisip. ³Huwag kayong gumawa ng anumang bagay dahil sa makasariling hangarin o pagpapalalo. Sa halip, sa kapakumbabaan ng pag-iisip, ituring ninyo na ang iba ay higit na mabuti kaysa sa inyo. ⁴Huwag hanapin ng isa’t isa ang ikabubuti ng kaniyang sarili lang kundi ang ikabubuti rin naman ng iba.

⁵Ito ay sapagkat kailangang taglayin ninyo ang kaisipan na na kay Cristo Jesus din naman. ⁶Bagaman siya ay nasa anyong Diyos, hindi niya itinuring na kailangang pakahawakan ang kaniyang pagiging kapantay ng Diyos. ⁷Bagkus ginawa niyang walang kabuluhan ang kaniyang sarili at tinanggap niya ang anyo ng isang alipin at nakitulad sa tao. ⁸Yamang siya ay nasumpungan sa anyong tao, siya ay nagpakumbaba at naging masunurin hanggang sa kamatayan, maging sa kamatayan sa krus. ⁹Kaya nga, siya naman ay lubhang itinaas ng Diyos at binigyan ng pangalang higit sa lahat ng pangalan. ¹⁰Ito ay upang sa pangalan ni Jesus ay luluhod ang bawat tuhod ng mga nasa langit, ng mga nasa lupa at ng mga nasa ilalim ng lupa. ¹¹Ito ay upang ipahayag ng bawat dila na si Jesucristo ang Panginoon, sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama.

Magningning Tulad ng mga Bituin

¹²Kaya nga, mga minamahal ko, gamitin ninyo ang inyong kaligtasan na may takot at panginginig, tulad ng palagi ninyong pagsunod, hindi lamang kung ako ay kasama ninyo kundi lalo na ngayong wala ako sa inyo.

¹³Ang dahilan nito ay gumagawa sa inyo ang Diyos upang naisin at gawin ninyo ang kaniyang mabuting kaluguran.

¹⁴Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng mga bagay na walang mga bulung-bulungan at pagtatalo. ¹⁵Gawin ninyo ang gayon upang walang anumang maipaparatang sa inyo at kayo ay maging dalisay, mga anak ng Diyos na walang dungis sa gitna ng isang lahing liko at lihis. Magliwanag kayo sa kanilang kalagitnaan tulad ng mga liwanag sa sanlibutan. ¹⁶Inyong itanghal ang salita ng buhay upang may ipagmapuri ako sa araw ni Cristo na hindi ako tumakbo nang walang kabuluhan ni nagpagal nang walang kabuluhan. ¹⁷Subalit kung ako ay ibubuhos ng Diyos tulad ng haing ibinubuhos sa ibabaw ng handog at paglilingkod ng inyong pananampalataya, matutuwa at magagalak akong kasama ninyo. ¹⁸Sa gayunding paraan, kayo naman ay matutuwa at magagalak na kasama ko.

Si Timoteo at si Epafrodito

¹⁹Ngunit umaasa ako sa Panginoong Jesus na maisugo ko sa inyo si Timoteo sa lalong madaling panahon upang ako rin naman ay maaliw kapag nalaman ko ang inyong kalalagayan.

²⁰Ito ay sapagkat wala na akong ibang taong katulad niya ang pag-iisip, na may tunay na pagmamalasakit sa inyong kalalagayan. ²¹Ito ay sapagkat abala silang lahat sa paghahanap ng mga bagay para sa kanilang sariling kapakanan, hindi sa mga bagay na nauukol kay Cristo Jesus. ²²Ngunit alam na ninyo ang kaniyang subok na pag-uugali, na gaya ng isang anak sa kaniyang ama, ay gayon siyang naglingkod na kasama ko sa ebanghelyo. ²³Siya nga ang aking inaasahang susuguin sa inyo sa lalong madaling panahon pagkatapos kong malaman ang aking magiging kalagayan. ²⁴Ngunit nakakatiyak ako saPanginoon na ako rin ay makakapunta riyan sa lalong madaling panahon.

²⁵Ngunit naisip kong kailangang suguin ko sa inyo si Epafrodito na aking kapatid, kamanggagawa at kapwa kawal, ngunit sugo at lingkod ninyo na tumitingin sa aking mga pangangailangan. ²⁶Ito ay sapagkat siya ay sabik na sabik sa inyong lahat at labis na namamanglaw dahil sa nabalitaan ninyong siya ay nagkasakit. ²⁷Ito ay sapagkat totoo ngang siya ay nagkasakit at muntik nang mamatay. Subalit kinahabagan siya ng Diyos at hindi lamang siya kundi ako rin naman upang huwag akong magkaroon ng sunod-sunod na kalungkutan. ²⁸Kaya nga, lalo kong pinagsikapang suguin siya sa inyo upang pagkakita ninyong muli sa kaniya, kayo ay magalak at mabawasan naman ang aking kalungkutan. ²⁹Kaya nga, tanggapin ninyo siya ng buong kagalakan sa Panginoon at parangalan ninyo ang mga katulad niya. ³⁰Ito ay sapagkat nabingit siya sa kamatayan alang-alang sa gawain ni Cristo, na hindi pinahalagahan ang kaniyang buhay upang punan ang kakulangan ng inyong paglilingkod sa akin.

Philippians 2

International Children’s Bible

2 Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the Spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? ²If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose. ³When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. ⁴Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.

Be Unselfish Like Christ

⁵In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.

⁶Christ himself was like God in everything.
    He was equal with God.
    But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be held on to.
⁷He gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
    He was born as a man
    and became like a servant.
⁸And when he was living as a man,
    he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God.
    He obeyed even when that caused his death—death on a cross.
⁹So God raised Christ to the highest place.
    God made the name of Christ greater than every other name.
¹⁰God wants every knee to bow to Jesus—
    everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.
¹¹Everyone will say, “Jesus Christ is Lord”
    and bring glory to God the Father.

Be the People God Wants You to Be

¹²My dear friends, you have always obeyed. You obeyed God when I was with you. It is even more important that you obey now while I am not with you. Keep on working to complete your salvation, and do it with fear and trembling. ¹³Yes, God is working in you to help you want to do what pleases him. Then he gives you the power to do it.

¹⁴Do everything without complaining or arguing. ¹⁵Then you will be innocent and without anything wrong in you. You will be God’s children without fault. But you are living with crooked and mean people all around you. Among them you shine like stars in the dark world. ¹⁶You offer to them the teaching that gives life. So when Christ comes again, I can be happy because my work was not wasted. I ran in the race and won.

¹⁷Your faith makes you offer your lives as a sacrifice in serving God. Perhaps I will have to offer my own blood with your sacrifice. But if that happens, I will be happy and full of joy with all of you. ¹⁸You also should be happy and full of joy with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

¹⁹I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon. I will be happy to learn how you are. ²⁰I have no other person like Timothy. He truly cares for you. ²¹Other people are interested only in their own lives. They are not interested in the work of Christ Jesus. ²²You know the kind of person Timothy is. You know that he has served with me in telling the Good News, as a son serves his father. ²³I plan to send him to you quickly when I know what will happen to me. ²⁴I am sure that the Lord will help me to come to you soon.

²⁵Epaphroditus is my brother in Christ. He works and serves with me in the army of Christ. When I needed help, you sent him to me. I think now that I must send him back to you ²⁶because he wants very much to see all of you. He is worried because you heard that he was sick. ²⁷Yes, he was sick, and nearly died. But God helped him and me too, so that I would not have more sadness. ²⁸So I want very much to send him to you. When you see him, you can be happy. And I can stop worrying about you. ²⁹Welcome him in the Lord with much joy. Give honor to people like Epaphroditus. ³⁰He should be honored because he almost died for the work of Christ. He put his life in danger so that he could help me. This was help that you could not give 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) ²then make my joy complete^(C) by being like-minded,^(D) having the same love, being one^(E) in spirit and of one mind. ³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.^(F) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,^(G) ⁴not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.^(H)

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:^(I)

⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(J)
    did not consider equality with God^(K) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing^(L)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(M)
    being made in human likeness.^(N)
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(O)—
        even death on a cross!^(P)

⁹Therefore God exalted him^(Q) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(R)
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(S)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(T)
¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(U)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Do Everything Without Grumbling

¹²Therefore, 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) ¹³for it is God who works in you^(W) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.^(X)

¹⁴Do everything without grumbling^(Y) or arguing, ¹⁵so 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 ¹⁶as 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) ¹⁷But 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) ¹⁸So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

¹⁹I 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. ²⁰I have no one else like him,^(AK) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. ²¹For everyone looks out for their own interests,^(AL) not those of Jesus Christ. ²²But 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. ²³I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.^(AN) ²⁴And I am confident^(AO) in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

²⁵But 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) ²⁶For he longs for all of you^(AS) and is distressed because you heard he was ill. ²⁷Indeed 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. ²⁸Therefore 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. ²⁹So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,^(AU) ³⁰because 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,

²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹²Wherefore, 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.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁵That 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;

¹⁶Holding 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.

¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁹But 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.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²¹For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

²³Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

²⁵Yet 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.

²⁶For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

²⁷For 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.

²⁸I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

³⁰Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
