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.

Lòng Khiêm Nhường Của Các Tín Hữu Của Chúa Cứu Thế
2 Vậy, nếu anh chị em có điều khuyến khích nào trong Chúa Cứu Thế, có điều an ủi nào từ tình yêu thương, có sự thông công nào với Thánh Linh,[a] có lòng dịu dàng và thương xót nào, 2 xin anh chị em hãy hiệp ý với nhau, cùng một tình yêu thương, đồng tâm, nhất trí để tôi được vui mừng trọn vẹn. 3 Đừng làm điều gì vì tham vọng ích kỷ hoặc hư vinh nhưng hãy khiêm tốn, coi người khác hơn mình. 4 Mỗi người trong anh chị em chớ tìm lợi riêng cho mình nhưng hãy chú trọng đến lợi ích của người khác nữa.
5 Hãy có cùng một tâm tình như Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-su đã có.
6 Vì Ngài vốn có bản thể của Đức Chúa Trời
Nhưng không coi sự bình đẳng với Đức Chúa Trời là điều phải nắm giữ.
7 Nhưng chính Ngài tự bỏ mình,[b]
Mang lấy bản thể của một tôi tớ,
Trở nên giống như loài người, có hình dạng như một người.
8 Ngài đã tự hạ mình xuống,
Chịu vâng phục cho đến chết,
Thậm chí chết trên thập tự giá.
9 Chính vì thế, Đức Chúa Trời đã tôn Ngài lên
Và ban cho Ngài danh trên hết mọi danh hiệu;
10 Để khi nghe đến danh của Đức Giê-su, mọi đầu gối
Trên trời dưới đất, bên dưới đất đều phải quỳ xuống,
11 Và mọi lưỡi phải tuyên xưng Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-su là Chúa
Mà tôn vinh Đức Chúa Trời là Đức Chúa Cha.
Chiếu Sáng Trong Thế Gian
12 Vậy, thưa anh chị em yêu dấu của tôi, như anh chị em vẫn luôn luôn vâng phục, không những khi tôi có mặt mà thôi nhưng nhất là bây giờ, lại càng vâng phục hơn khi tôi vắng mặt. Hãy lấy lòng kính sợ và run rẩy mà hành động để hoàn thành sự cứu rỗi mình. 13 Vì Đức Chúa Trời là Đấng đang tác động trong lòng anh chị em để anh chị em vừa muốn vừa làm theo ý chỉ tốt lành của Ngài.
14 Hãy làm mọi việc mà không càu nhàu hay cãi cọ 15 để anh chị em trở nên không có gì đáng trách, tinh khiết, là con cái Đức Chúa Trời không tì vết giữa một thế hệ gian ác, đồi trụy. Anh chị em hãy chiếu sáng trong thế hệ đó như những vì sao trong thế gian.[c] 16 Hãy nắm vững những lời ban sự sống để đến ngày của Chúa Cứu Thế tôi được hãnh diện vì đã không chạy thi vô ích và lao khổ uổng công. 17 Nếu tôi phải đổ huyết ra để rưới lên lễ vật hy sinh mà anh chị em lấy đức tin dâng cho Đức Chúa Trời thì tôi cũng vui lòng và cùng chia sẻ niềm vui với tất cả anh chị em. 18 Anh chị em cũng vậy, hãy vui lên và cùng chia sẻ niềm vui với tôi.
Ti-mô-thê Và Ê-ba-phô-đi
19 Nhờ ơn Chúa Giê-su, tôi hy vọng sớm cử Ti-mô-thê đến thăm anh chị em để tôi biết tin tức về anh chị em mà an tâm. 20 Thật vậy, tôi không có ai khác có cùng một tâm tình như Ti-mô-thê,[d] là người thật tình lo lắng cho anh chị em. 21 Vì ai nấy đều tìm lợi ích riêng cho mình chứ không tìm lợi ích cho Chúa Cứu Thế Giê-su. 22 Nhưng anh chị em biết phẩm cách của Ti-mô-thê, người đã cùng tôi, như con với cha, phục vụ Phúc Âm. 23 Vậy, tôi hy vọng sẽ cử Ti-mô-thê đi ngay khi tôi biết rõ tình cảnh của tôi như thế nào. 24 Tôi tin tưởng trong Chúa rằng chính tôi sẽ sớm đến thăm anh chị em.
25 Tôi nghĩ cần phải gởi Ê-ba-phô-đi về với anh chị em, ông là một người anh em, một người đồng lao, một chiến hữu của tôi, ông cũng là sứ giả của anh chị em gởi đến để giúp đỡ các nhu yếu cho tôi. 26 Vì ông ấy mong ước gặp lại tất cả anh chị em và lo âu vì anh chị em đã nghe tin mình bị đau. 27 Thật vậy ông ấy đã mắc bệnh nặng gần chết nhưng Đức Chúa Trời đã thương xót, không những chỉ thương xót ông mà cả tôi nữa, để tôi không phải chịu hết buồn phiền này đến buồn phiền khác. 28 Vì thế, tôi cử ông ấy trở về để anh chị em gặp lại ông và vui mừng, còn tôi thì khỏi lo âu. 29 Vậy, hãy hết sức vui mừng mà hoan nghênh ông trong Chúa và hãy kính trọng những người như thế. 30 Chính vì công việc của Chúa Cứu Thế mà ông đã suýt chết; liều mạng sống mình để làm thay những việc mà anh chị em không thể làm được để giúp đỡ tôi.
Philippians 2
New International Version
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)

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.
