Philippians 2

King James Version KJV

1 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.

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Therefore, if [there is] any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

2 complete my joy, so that {you are in agreement}, having the same love, united in spirit, {having one purpose}.

3 [Do] nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves,

4 each of you not looking out for {your own interests}, but also each of you [for] {the interests} of others.

5 Think this in yourselves which [was] also in Christ Jesus,

6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God something to be grasped,

7 but emptied himself [by] taking the form of a slave, [by] becoming in the likeness of people. And being found in appearance like a man,

8 he humbled himself [by] becoming obedient to the point of death, that is, death on a cross.

9 Therefore also God exalted him and graciously granted him the name above every name,

10 so 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 every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Therefore my dear friends, just as you 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 the one at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure, is God.

14 Do all [things] without grumbling and disputing,

15 in order that you may become blameless and innocent, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as stars in the world,

16 holding fast to the word of life, for a source of pride to me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and rejoice with all of you.

18 And [in] the same [way] also you rejoice and rejoice with me.

19 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I also may be encouraged [when I] know {your circumstances}.

20 For I have no one like-minded who [will] sincerely be concerned about {your circumstances}.

21 For they all seek {their own interests}, not those of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know his proven character, that like a child with a father he served with me for the gospel.

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see {my circumstances}.

24 And I am convinced in the Lord that I myself will arrive shortly also.

25 But I considered [it] necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, but your messenger and servant of my need,

26 because he was longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

27 For indeed he was sick, coming near to death, but God had mercy on him and not [on] him only, but also [on] me, so that I would not have grief upon grief.

28 Therefore I am sending him with special urgency, in order that [when] you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

29 Therefore welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and consider such [people] highly honored,

30 because on account of the work of Christ he came near to the point of death, risking his life in order that {he might make up for your inability to serve me}.
