Philippians 2

The Darby Translation DBY

1 If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

2 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;

3 [let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;

4 regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.

5 For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;

6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;

7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;

8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.

9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.

12 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

13 for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.

14 Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,

15 that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,

16 holding forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.

17 But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.

18 In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

19 But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.

20 For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.

21 For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.

22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.

23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:

24 but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;

25 but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,

26 since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;

27 for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful.

29 Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;

30 because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.

New Century Version NCV

1 Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness?

2 If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose.

3 When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves.

4 Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.

5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.

6 Christ himself was like God in everything. But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.

7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing. He was born to be a man and became like a servant.

8 And when he was living as a man, he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death -- death on a cross.

9 So God raised him to the highest place. God made his name greater than every other name

10 so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus -- everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

11 And everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and bring glory to God the Father.

12 My dear friends, you have always obeyed God when I was with you. It is even more important that you obey now while I am away from you. Keep on working to complete your salvation with fear and trembling,

13 because God is working in you to help you want to do and be able to do what pleases him.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing.

15 Then you will be innocent and without any wrong. You will be God's children without fault. But you are living with crooked and mean people all around you, among whom you shine like stars in the dark world.

16 You offer the teaching that gives life. So when Christ comes again, I can be happy because my work was not wasted. I ran the race and won.

17 Your faith makes you offer your lives as a sacrifice in serving God. If I have to offer my own blood with your sacrifice, I will be happy and full of joy with all of you.

18 You also should be happy and full of joy with me.

19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon. I will be happy to learn how you are.

20 I have no one else like Timothy, who truly cares for you.

21 Other people are interested only in their own lives, not in the work of Jesus Christ.

22 You know the kind of person Timothy is. You know he has served with me in telling the Good News, as a son serves his father.

23 I plan to send him to you quickly when I know what will happen to me.

24 I am sure that the Lord will help me to come to you soon.

25 Epaphroditus, my brother in Christ, works and serves with me in the army of Christ. When I needed help, you sent him to me. I think now that I must send him back to you,

26 because he wants very much to see all of you. He is worried because you heard that he was sick.

27 Yes, he was sick, and nearly died, but God had mercy on him and me too so that I would not have more sadness.

28 I want very much to send him to you so that when you see him you can be happy, and I can stop worrying about you.

29 Welcome him in the Lord with much joy. Give honor to people like him,

30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to give me the help you could not give in your service to me.
