King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
4
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
5
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
6
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
7
rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
8
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that 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;
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11
and every tongue acknowledge 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.
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,
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
13
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
14
Do everything without grumbling or arguing,
