Philippians 2
English Standard Version
Christ's Example of Humility
2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from (A)love, any (B)participation in the Spirit, any (C)affection and sympathy, 2 (D)complete my joy by being (E)of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from (F)selfish ambition or (G)conceit, but in (H)humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you (I)look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 (J)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 (K)who, though he was in (L)the form of God, did not count equality with God (M)a thing to be grasped,[b] 7 but (N)emptied himself, by taking the form of a (O)servant,[c] (P)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by (Q)becoming obedient to the point of death, (R)even death on a cross. 9 (S)Therefore (T)God has (U)highly exalted him and bestowed on him (V)the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (W)every knee should bow, (X)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and (Y)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is (Z)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, (AA)as you have always (AB)obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for (AC)it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for (AD)his good pleasure.
14 Do all things (AE)without grumbling or (AF)disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, (AG)children of God (AH)without blemish (AI)in the midst of (AJ)a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine (AK)as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to (AL)the word of life, so that in (AM)the day of Christ (AN)I may be proud that (AO)I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be (AP)poured out as a drink offering upon (AQ)the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus (AR)to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one (AS)like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all (AT)seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's[d] (AU)proven worth, how (AV)as a son[e] with a father (AW)he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and (AX)I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
25 I have thought it necessary to send to you (AY)Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and (AZ)fellow soldier, and your messenger and (BA)minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So (BB)receive him in the Lord with all joy, and (BC)honor such men, 30 for he nearly died[f] (BD)for the work of Christ, risking his life (BE)to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

Filip 2
Haitian Creole Version
2 ¶ Konsa, si se nan Kris la nou jwenn fòs kouraj nou tout bon vre, si se renmen li renmen nou an ki ban nou ankourajman tout bon vre, si Sentespri l' rete nan kè nou tout bon vre, si tout bon vre nou yonn renmen lòt, si nou sansib yonn pou lòt,
2 enben, men sa m'ap mande nou: Fè kè m' kontan nèt. Se pou nou viv byen yonn ak lòt, se pou nou yonn renmen lòt menm jan an, pou nou tout gen yon sèl lide nan tèt nou ak yon sèl santiman nan kè nou.
3 Pa fè anyen nan lide pou fè tèt nou pase pou pi bon, ni pou fè lwanj tèt nou. Men, soumèt nou devan Bondye. Mete nan tèt nou lòt yo pi bon pase nou.
4 Piga pesonn chache enterè pa l' ase. Se pou l' chache sa ki bon pou lòt yo tou.
5 Se pou nou yonn gen pou lòt menm santiman ki te nan Jezi, Kris la.
6 Sa Bondye ye a, se sa l' te toujou ye. Men, li pa t' janm konsidere sa tankou yon avantaj pou l' te chache kenbe ak tout fòs.
7 Okontrè, se li menm pou tèt pa l' ki chwazi mete sa sou kote. Li te pito tounen yon domestik. Li pran fòm yon moun, li vin tankou tout moun.
8 Li rabese tèt li. Tankou yon moun, li soumèt devan Bondye. Li obeyi Bondye jouk li rive asepte mouri, wi jouk li asepte mouri sou kwa a.
9 Se poutèt sa, Bondye leve l' mete chita kote ki pi wo a. Li ba li yon non ki pi gran pase tout lòt non.
10 Konsa, tou sa ki nan syèl la, tou sa ki sou tè a ak anba tè a, yo tout va mete jenou yo atè devan Jezi pa respè pou non Bondye te ba li a.
11 Tout moun va rekonèt Jezikri se Seyè a. Sa va sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye Papa a.
12 ¶ Se konsa, zanmi m' yo, nou tout nou te toujou obeysan lè m' te la avèk nou. Koulye a m' pa la ankò, se lè sa a pou n' pi obeyisan: toujou fè jefò pou nou ka fin sove nèt, avèk krentif pou Bondye, avèk soumisyon devan li.
13 Paske, se Bondye menm k'ap travay tout tan nan kè nou. Se li ki ban nou anvi fè sa ki pou fè l' plezi ansanm ak fòs pou nou ka fè l' vre.
14 ¶ Nan tou sa n'ap fè, pa plenyen, pa diskite,
15 pou yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo repwoche nou, pou nou ka fè sa ki byen tankou bon pitit Bondye, antan n'ap viv nan mitan bann moun malonèt ak bann mechan sa yo ki sou latè. Se pou nou klere nan mitan yo tankou zetwal nan syèl la,
16 lè n'ap ba yo mesaj ki bay lavi a. Konsa, n'a fè kè m' kontan lè jou Kris la va rive. Paske, m'a konnen mwen pa t' fatige kò m' pou gremesi, mwen pa t' travay mal.
17 Menm si mwen dwe ofri lavi m', menm si san m' ta gen pou l' koule pou wouze ofrann n'ap fè pou Bondye paske nou gen konfyans nan li a, m'ap kontan anpil, epi m'ap fè kè nou tout kontan ansanm avè mwen.
18 Konsa, nou menm tou, se pou nou kontan, se pou nou fè kè m' kontan ansanm avè nou tou.
19 Si se volonte Seyè Jezi, mwen fè lide voye Timote kote nou anvan lontan, pou lè m' pran nouvèl nou sa ka ban m' ankourajman.
20 Timote se sèl moun ki gen menm lide avè m', ki vle wè byen nou. Mwen pa gen lòt.
21 Tout lòt yo, se zafè pa yo ase y'ap regle, yo p'ap defann kòz Kris la.
22 Nou menm tou nou konnen jan Timote se yon nèg serye. Tankou papa ak pitit nou travay ansanm pou bon nouvèl la.
23 Mwen fè lide voye l' kote nou lè m'a fin wè ki jan sa ap pase pou mwen.
24 Men, mwen gen konfyans sa a nan Bondye: m'a ka vin wè nou anvan lontan.
25 Konsa tou, nou chonje Epafwodit, frè nou an, ki te travay ansanm avè m', ki te la avè m' nan tout batay. Se nou menm ki te voye l' vin ban m' konkou. Enben, mwen wè se nesesè pou m' voye l' tounen ban nou.
26 Se pa ti anvi li anvi wè nou. Sa te travay tèt li anpil dèske nou te vin konnen jan l' te malad.
27 Li te malad anpil, se vre. Li manke mouri. Men, Bondye te gen pitye pou li. Pa pou li sèlman, men pou mwen menm tou, pou sa pa t' ban mwen plis lapenn ankò.
28 Se poutèt sa mwen pi anvi voye li bò kote nou pou nou ka kontan lè n'a wè l' ankò, epi pou m' ka gen mwens lapenn.
29 Konsa, resevwa l' ak kè kontan tankou yon frè nan Seyè a. Se pou nou gen anpil respè pou moun ki tankou Epafwodit,
30 paske li te prèt pou mouri pou travay Kris la, li riske lavi l' pou l' te ka ban mwen konkou nou menm nou pa t' kapab ban mwen.
