Genom ödmjukhet till upphöjelse
2 Om ni nu har tröst hos Kristus, uppmuntran av hans kärlek och gemenskap i Anden, om medkänsla och barmhärtighet betyder något, 2 gör då min glädje fullkomlig genom att ha samma sinnelag och samma kärlek och genom att vara ett i själ och sinne. 3 Var inte självupptagna och stolta. Var i stället ödmjuka och sätt andra högre än er själva. 4 Se inte på ert eget bästa utan tänk på andras. 5 Var så till sinnes som Kristus Jesus var.
6 Fastän han var till i Gudsgestalt, räknade han inte tillvaron
som Gud såsom segerbyte[a]
7 utan utgav sig själv genom att anta en tjänares gestalt
då han blev människa. Han som till det yttre
var som en människa
8 ödmjukade sig och blev lydig ända till döden
- döden på korset.
9 Därför har också Gud upphöjt honom över allting
och gett honom namnet över alla namn,
10 för att i Jesu namn alla knän skall böja sig,
i himlen och på jorden och under jorden,
11 och alla tungor bekänna, Gud, Fadern, till ära,
att Jesus Kristus är Herren.[b]
Kristi lärjungar som ljus i världen
12 Därför, mina älskade, liksom ni alltid har varit lydiga, så arbeta med fruktan och bävan på er frälsning, inte bara som när jag var hos er, utan ännu mycket mer nu när jag inte är hos er. 13 Ty Gud är den som verkar i er, både vilja och gärning, för att hans goda vilja skall ske. 14 Gör allt utan att klaga och tveka, 15 så att ni blir fläckfria och rena, Guds oskyldiga barn mitt ibland ett falskt och fördärvat släkte, bland vilka ni lyser som stjärnor i världen, 16 när ni håller fast vid livets ord. Då kan jag berömma mig av er på Kristi dag. Jag har alltså inte sprungit förgäves eller arbetat förgäves. 17 Ja, även om mitt blod blir utgjutet då ni bär fram er tro som offer, är jag glad och gläds med er alla. 18 På samma sätt gläder ni er och deltar i min glädje.
Timoteus och Epafroditus
19 Jag hoppas nu i Herren Jesus att jag snart skall kunna sända Timoteus till er, så att också jag kan vara vid gott mod, när jag får veta hur ni har det. 20 Jag har ingen som han, ingen som så uppriktigt kommer att ha omsorg om er. 21 Alla söker de sitt, inte Jesu Kristi sak. 22 Men ni vet att han har hållit provet. Som en son vid sin fars sida har han stått tillsammans med mig i arbetet för evangeliet. 23 Honom hoppas jag kunna sända så snart jag får se hur det går för mig. 24 Och i Herren är jag övertygad om att jag snart skall kunna komma själv.
25 Men jag anser det nödvändigt att sända tillbaka till er min broder Epafroditus, min medarbetare och medkämpe, som ni har sänt för att hjälpa mig med det som jag behövde. 26 Han har längtat efter er alla och varit orolig, eftersom ni har hört att han blivit sjuk. 27 Han har också verkligen varit sjuk, ja, nära döden. Men Gud förbarmade sig över honom, och inte bara över honom utan också över mig, för att jag inte skulle få sorg på sorg. 28 Därför är jag så mycket mer angelägen att sända honom, för att ni skall få glädjen att återse honom och jag själv får känna lättnad. 29 Ta nu emot honom i Herren med all glädje, och visa sådana män uppskattning. 30 För sitt arbete i Kristi tjänst satte han sitt liv på spel och var nära döden, för att ge mig den hjälp som ni inte kunde ge.

Philippians 2
21st Century King James Version
Philippians 2
21st Century 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 tenderness and mercies,
2 fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem the other better than himself.
4 Look not every man to his own things, but every man also to 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 the fashion of a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death—even the death of the cross.
9 Therefore 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 on 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 Therefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmuring and disputing,
15 that ye may be blameless and unoffending, 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 labored in vain.
17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am joyful and rejoice with you all.
18 For the same cause also be ye joyful, and rejoice with me.
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be comforted when I know of 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, how as a son with a father he hath served with me in the Gospel.
23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, as 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 have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in labor and fellow soldier, but your messenger and he that ministered to my wants.
26 For he longed after you all and was full of heaviness, because 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 I may be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such in high honor,
30 because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not having regard for his own life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

Philippians 2

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)
