Philippians 2
New American Standard Bible
Be like Christ
2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any (A)fellowship of the Spirit, if any [a](B)affection and compassion, 2 (C)make my joy complete [b]by (D)being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3 Do nothing [c]from [d](E)selfishness or (F)empty conceit, but with humility (G)consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 (H)do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 (I)Have this attitude [e]in yourselves which was also in (J)Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already (K)existed in the (L)form of God, (M)did not consider equality with God something to be [f]grasped, 7 but [g](N)emptied Himself by taking the form of a (O)bond-servant and [h](P)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, (Q)He humbled Himself by becoming (R)obedient to the point of death: (S)death [i]on a cross. 9 (T)For this reason also God (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 every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is (Y)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 So then, my beloved, (Z)just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own (AA)salvation with (AB)fear and trembling; 13 for it is (AC)God who is at work in you, both to [j]desire and to work (AD)for His good pleasure.
14 Do all things without (AE)complaining or arguments; 15 so that you will [k]prove yourselves to be (AF)blameless and innocent, (AG)children of God above reproach in the midst of a (AH)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you [l](AI)appear as [m]lights in the world, 16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on (AJ)the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not (AK)run in vain nor (AL)labor in vain. 17 But even if I am being (AM)poured out as a drink offering upon (AN)the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all. 18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 But I hope, [n]in the Lord Jesus, to (AO)send (AP)Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition. 20 For I have no one else (AQ)of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all (AR)seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know (AS)of his proven character, that (AT)he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel (AU)like a child serving his father. 23 (AV)Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me; 24 and (AW)I trust in the Lord that I myself will also be coming shortly. 25 But I thought it necessary to send to you (AX)Epaphroditus, my brother and (AY)fellow worker and (AZ)fellow soldier, who is also your [o](BA)messenger and (BB)minister to my need, 26 because he was longing [p]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 only on him 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 about you. 29 (BC)Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and (BD)hold people like him in high regard, 30 because he came close to death [q](BE)for the work of Christ, risking his life to (BF)compensate [r]for your absence in your service to me.

Philippiens 2
Louis Segond
2 Si donc il y a quelque consolation en Christ, s'il y a quelque soulagement dans la charité, s'il y a quelque union d'esprit, s'il y a quelque compassion et quelque miséricorde,
2 rendez ma joie parfaite, ayant un même sentiment, un même amour, une même âme, une même pensée.
3 Ne faites rien par esprit de parti ou par vaine gloire, mais que l'humilité vous fasse regarder les autres comme étant au-dessus de vous-mêmes.
4 Que chacun de vous, au lieu de considérer ses propres intérêts, considère aussi ceux des autres.
5 Ayez en vous les sentiments qui étaient en Jésus Christ,
6 lequel, existant en forme de Dieu, n'a point regardé comme une proie à arracher d'être égal avec Dieu,
7 mais s'est dépouillé lui-même, en prenant une forme de serviteur, en devenant semblable aux hommes; et ayant paru comme un simple homme,
8 il s'est humilié lui-même, se rendant obéissant jusqu'à la mort, même jusqu'à la mort de la croix.
9 C'est pourquoi aussi Dieu l'a souverainement élevé, et lui a donné le nom qui est au-dessus de tout nom,
10 afin qu'au nom de Jésus tout genou fléchisse dans les cieux, sur la terre et sous la terre,
11 et que toute langue confesse que Jésus Christ est Seigneur, à la gloire de Dieu le Père.
12 Ainsi, mes bien-aimés, comme vous avez toujours obéi, travaillez à votre salut avec crainte et tremblement, non seulement comme en ma présence, mais bien plus encore maintenant que je suis absent;
13 car c'est Dieu qui produit en vous le vouloir et le faire, selon son bon plaisir.
14 Faites toutes choses sans murmures ni hésitations,
15 afin que vous soyez irréprochables et purs, des enfants de Dieu irrépréhensibles au milieu d'une génération perverse et corrompue, parmi laquelle vous brillez comme des flambeaux dans le monde,
16 portant la parole de vie; et je pourrai me glorifier, au jour de Christ, de n'avoir pas couru en vain ni travaillé en vain.
17 Et même si je sers de libation pour le sacrifice et pour le service de votre foi, je m'en réjouis, et je me réjouis avec vous tous.
18 Vous aussi, réjouissez-vous de même, et réjouissez-vous avec moi.
19 J'espère dans le Seigneur Jésus vous envoyer bientôt Timothée, afin d'être encouragé moi-même en apprenant ce qui vous concerne.
20 Car je n'ai personne ici qui partage mes sentiments, pour prendre sincèrement à coeur votre situation;
21 tous, en effet, cherchent leurs propres intérêts, et non ceux de Jésus Christ.
22 Vous savez qu'il a été mis à l'épreuve, en se consacrant au service de l'Évangile avec moi, comme un enfant avec son père.
23 J'espère donc vous l'envoyer dès que j'apercevrai l'issue de l'état où je suis;
24 et j'ai cette confiance dans le Seigneur que moi-même aussi j'irai bientôt.
25 J'ai estimé nécessaire de vous envoyer mon frère Épaphrodite, mon compagnon d'oeuvre et de combat, par qui vous m'avez fait parvenir de quoi pourvoir à mes besoins.
26 Car il désirait vous voir tous, et il était fort en peine de ce que vous aviez appris sa maladie.
27 Il a été malade, en effet, et tout près de la mort; mais Dieu a eu pitié de lui, et non seulement de lui, mais aussi de moi, afin que je n'eusse pas tristesse sur tristesse.
28 Je l'ai donc envoyé avec d'autant plus d'empressement, afin que vous vous réjouissiez de le revoir, et que je sois moi-même moins triste.
29 Recevez-le donc dans le Seigneur avec une joie entière, et honorez de tels hommes.
30 Car c'est pour l'oeuvre de Christ qu'il a été près de la mort, ayant exposé sa vie afin de suppléer à votre absence dans le service que vous me rendiez.
腓立比书 2
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
效法基督
2 所以，如果你们在基督里受到鼓励，得到爱的安慰，与圣灵相通，有慈悲和怜悯之心， 2 就要同心合意，彼此相爱，灵里合一，思想一致，好让我的喜乐更充足。 3 凡事不可自私自利、爱慕虚荣，要心存谦卑，看别人比自己强。 4 各人不要只顾自己的事，也要为别人的需要着想。 5 你们应当有基督耶稣那样的心肠。
6 祂虽然本质上是上帝，
却没有紧紧抓住自己与上帝平等的地位不放，
7 反而甘愿放下一切，
取了奴仆的形象，
降生为人的样子。
8 祂以人的样子出现后，
就自愿卑微，顺服至死，
而且死在十字架上。
9 因此，上帝将祂升为至尊，
赐给祂超乎万名之上的名，
10 使一切天上的、
地上的和地底下的，
无不屈膝跪拜在耶稣的名下，
11 无不口称耶稣基督是主，
将荣耀归于父上帝。
暗世明灯
12 所以，我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，既然我在你们那里的时候，你们一向都很顺服；如今我不在你们那里，你们更要顺服，要战战兢兢地活出得救后应有的生命。 13 因为你们立志和行事都是上帝在你们心中工作，为要成就祂美好的旨意。
14 无论做什么事，都不要抱怨，也不要与人争论， 15 好使你们在这个弯曲败坏的时代中无可指责、诚实无伪，做上帝纯洁无瑕的儿女，如同明光照耀在世上， 16 坚守生命之道。这样，到了基督再来的时候，我可以夸口自己没有空跑一场，也没有白费功夫。 17 你们的信心就是献给上帝的事奉和祭物，即使在上面浇奠我的生命，我也很喜乐，并且和你们大家一同喜乐。 18 同样，你们也要喜乐，要和我一同喜乐。
保罗的得力同工
19 如果主耶稣许可，我希望尽快派提摩太去你们那里，我好知道你们的近况，心里得到安慰。 20 因为没有人像他那样跟我一同真正关心你们的事。 21 别人都只顾自己的事，并不关心耶稣基督的事。 22 但你们知道提摩太的为人，我与他情同父子，一起事奉和传扬福音。 23 所以，我的案子一旦明朗了，我会立刻派他去见你们。 24 我深信如果主许可，我自己很快也会去你们那里。
25 另外，我觉得有必要让以巴弗提回到你们那里。他是我的弟兄、同工和战友，也是你们差遣来服侍我、供应我需用的。 26 他很想念你们，并且感到不安，因为你们听说了他患病的事。 27 他确实病了，几乎丧命，但上帝怜悯了他，不但怜悯他，也怜悯了我，没让我忧上加忧。 28 所以，我想尽快派他回去与你们相聚，好让你们喜乐，也可以减少我的挂虑。 29 你们要在主里欢欢喜喜地接待他，而且要敬重像他这样的人。 30 他为了基督的工作，将生死置之度外，几乎丧命，以弥补你们服侍我的不足之处。
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.
