Philippians 2
New Life Version
A Christian Should Not Be Proud
2 Are you strong because you belong to Christ? Does His love comfort you? Do you have joy by being as one in sharing the Holy Spirit? Do you have loving-kindness and pity for each other? 2 Then give me true joy by thinking the same thoughts. Keep having the same love. Be as one in thoughts and actions. 3 Nothing should be done because of pride or thinking about yourself. Think of other people as more important than yourself. 4 Do not always be thinking about your own plans only. Be happy to know what other people are doing.
Christ Was Not Proud
5 Think as Christ Jesus thought. 6 Jesus has always been as God is. But He did not hold to His rights as God. 7 He put aside everything that belonged to Him and made Himself the same as a servant who is owned by someone. He became human by being born as a man. 8 After He became a man, He gave up His important place and obeyed by dying on a cross. 9 Because of this, God lifted Jesus high above everything else. He gave Him a name that is greater than any other name. 10 So when the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow down before Him. 11 And every tongue will say Jesus Christ is Lord. Everyone will give honor to God the Father.
12 My Christian friends, you have obeyed me when I was with you. You have obeyed even more when I have been away. You must keep on working to show you have been saved from the punishment of sin. Be afraid that you may not please God. 13 He is working in you. God is helping you obey Him. God is doing what He wants done in you. 14 Be glad you can do the things you should be doing. Do all things without arguing and talking about how you wish you did not have to do them. 15 In that way, you can prove yourselves to be without blame. You are God’s children and no one can talk against you, even in a sin-loving and sin-sick world. You are to shine as lights among the sinful people of this world. 16 Take a strong hold on the Word of Life. Then when Christ comes again, I will be happy that I did not work with you for nothing. 17 Even if I give my life as a gift on the altar to God for you, I am glad and share this joy with you. 18 You must be happy and share your joy with me also.
Timothy Is Being Sent to You
19 I hope by the help of the Lord Jesus that I can send Timothy to you soon. It will comfort me when he brings news about you. 20 I have no one else who is as interested in you as Timothy. 21 Everyone else thinks of himself instead of Jesus Christ. 22 You know how Timothy proved to be such a true friend to me when we preached the Good News. He was like a son helping his father. 23 I hope to send Timothy as soon as I know what they are going to do to me. 24 I hope by the help of the Lord that I can come soon also.
25 I thought it was right that I send Epaphroditus back to you. You helped me by sending him to me. We have worked together like brothers. He was like a soldier fighting beside me. 26 He has been wanting to see all of you and was troubled because you heard he was sick. 27 It is true, he was sick. Yes, he almost died, but God showed loving-kindness to him and to me. If he had died, I would have had even more sorrow. 28 This is all the more reason I have sent him to you. When you see him, you will be glad and I will have less sorrow. 29 Take him into your church with joy. Show respect for men like him. 30 He came close to death while working for Christ. He almost died doing things for me that you could not do.

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)

Tenham a atitude de Cristo
2 Há alguma motivação por estar em Cristo? Há alguma consolação que vem do amor? Há alguma comunhão no Espírito? Há alguma compaixão e afeição? 2 Então completem minha alegria concordando sinceramente uns com os outros, amando-se mutuamente e trabalhando juntos com a mesma forma de pensar e um só propósito.
3 Não sejam egoístas, nem tentem impressionar ninguém. Sejam humildes e considerem os outros mais importantes que vocês. 4 Não procurem apenas os próprios interesses, mas preocupem-se também com os interesses alheios.
5 Tenham a mesma atitude demonstrada por Cristo Jesus.
6 Embora sendo Deus,[a]
não considerou que ser igual a Deus
fosse algo a que devesse se apegar.
7 Em vez disso, esvaziou a si mesmo;
assumiu a posição de escravo[b]
e nasceu como ser humano.
Quando veio em forma humana,[c]
8 humilhou-se e foi obediente
até a morte, e morte de cruz.
9 Por isso Deus o elevou ao lugar de mais alta honra
e lhe deu o nome que está acima de todos os nomes,
10 para que, ao nome de Jesus, todo joelho se dobre,
nos céus, na terra e debaixo da terra,
11 e toda língua declare que Jesus Cristo é Senhor,
para a glória de Deus, o Pai.
Brilhem intensamente por Cristo
12 Quando eu estava aí, meus amados, vocês sempre seguiam minhas instruções. Agora que estou longe, é ainda mais importante que o façam. Trabalhem com afinco a sua salvação, obedecendo a Deus com reverência e temor. 13 Pois Deus está agindo em vocês, dando-lhes o desejo e o poder de realizarem aquilo que é do agrado dele.
14 Façam tudo sem queixas nem discussões, 15 de modo que ninguém possa acusá-los. Levem uma vida pura e inculpável como filhos de Deus, brilhando como luzes resplandecentes num mundo cheio de gente corrompida e perversa. 16 Apeguem-se firmemente à mensagem da vida. Então, no dia em que Cristo voltar, me orgulharei de saber que não participei da corrida em vão e que não trabalhei inutilmente. 17 Contudo, me alegrarei mesmo se perder a vida, entregando-a a Deus como oferta derramada, da mesma forma que o serviço fiel de vocês é uma oferta a Deus. E quero que todos vocês participem dessa alegria. 18 Sim, alegrem-se, e eu me alegrarei com vocês.
Paulo elogia Timóteo
19 Se for da vontade do Senhor Jesus, espero enviar-lhes Timóteo em breve para visitá-los. Assim ele poderá me animar, contando-me notícias de vocês. 20 Não tenho ninguém que se preocupe sinceramente com o bem-estar de vocês como Timóteo. 21 Todos os outros se preocupam apenas consigo mesmos, e não com o que é importante para Jesus Cristo. 22 Mas vocês sabem que Timóteo provou seu valor. Como um filho junto ao pai, ele tem servido ao meu lado na proclamação das boas-novas. 23 Espero enviá-lo assim que souber o que me acontecerá aqui. 24 E tenho confiança no Senhor de que, em breve, eu mesmo irei vê-los.
Paulo elogia Epafrodito
25 Enquanto isso, penso que devo enviar-lhes de volta Epafrodito. Ele é um verdadeiro irmão, colaborador e companheiro de lutas, que também foi mensageiro de vocês para me ajudar em minha necessidade. 26 Ele deseja muito vê-los e está angustiado porque vocês souberam que ele esteve doente. 27 De fato, ficou enfermo e quase morreu. Mas Deus teve misericórdia dele, e também de mim, para que eu não tivesse uma tristeza atrás da outra.
28 Por isso, estou ainda mais ansioso para enviá-lo de volta, pois sei que vocês se alegrarão em vê-lo, e eu não ficarei tão preocupado com vocês. 29 Recebam-no com grande alegria no Senhor e deem-lhe a honra que ele merece, 30 pois arriscou a vida pela obra de Cristo e esteve a ponto de morrer enquanto fazia por mim o que vocês mesmos não podiam fazer.
Philippians 2
King James Version
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.
