Philippians 2

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Are you cheerful because you belong to Christ? Does his love comfort you? Is the Holy Spirit your companion? Has Christ been gentle and loving toward you?

2 Then make my joy complete by agreeing with each other. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and purpose.

3 Don't do anything only to get ahead. Don't do it because you are proud. Instead, be free of pride. Think of others as better than yourselves.

4 None of you should look out just for your own good. You should also look out for the good of others.

5 You should think in the same way Christ Jesus does.

6 In his very nature he was God. But he did not think that being equal with God was something he should hold on to.

7 Instead, he made himself nothing. He took on the very nature of a servant. He was made in human form.

8 He appeared as a man. He came down to the lowest level. He obeyed God completely, even though it led to his death.

9 So God lifted him up to the highest place. He gave him the name that is above every name.

10 When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone's knee will bow to worship him. Every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow to worship him.

11 Everyone's mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory.

12 My dear friends, you have always obeyed God. You obeyed while I was with you. And you have obeyed even more while I am not with you. So continue to work out your own salvation. Do it with fear and trembling.

13 God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to be in keeping with his good purpose.

14 Do everything without finding fault or arguing.

15 Then you will be pure and without blame. You will be children of God without fault in a sinful and evil world. Among the people of the world you shine like stars in the heavens.

16 You shine as you hold out to them the word of life. So I can brag about you on the day Christ returns. I can be happy that I didn't run or work for nothing.

17 But my life might even be poured out like a drink offering on your sacrifices. I'm talking about the way you serve because you believe. Even so, I am glad. I am joyful with all of you.

18 So you too should be glad and joyful with me.

19 I hope to send Timothy to you soon if the Lord Jesus allows it. Then I will be cheered up when I receive news about you.

20 I have no one else like Timothy. He truly cares about how you are doing.

21 All the others are looking out for their own interests. They are not looking out for the interests of Jesus Christ.

22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself. He has served with me like a son with his father in spreading the good news.

23 So I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

24 And I'm sure I myself will come soon if the Lord allows it.

25 But I think it's necessary to send Epaphroditus back to you. He is my brother in the Lord. He is a worker and a soldier of Christ together with me. He is also your messenger. You sent him to take care of my needs.

26 He longs for all of you. He is troubled because you heard he was sick.

27 He was very sick. In fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him. He also had mercy on me. God spared me sadness after sadness.

28 So I want even more to send him to you. Then when you see him again, you will be glad. And I won't worry so much.

29 Welcome him as a brother in the Lord with great joy. Honor people like him.

30 He almost died for the work of Christ. He put his life in danger to make up for the help you couldn't give me.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 si qua ergo consolatio in Christo si quod solacium caritatis si qua societas spiritus si quid viscera et miserationes

2 implete gaudium meum ut idem sapiatis eandem caritatem habentes unianimes id ipsum sentientes

3 nihil per contentionem neque per inanem gloriam sed in humilitate superiores sibi invicem arbitrantes

4 non quae sua sunt singuli considerantes sed et ea quae aliorum

5 hoc enim sentite in vobis quod et in Christo Iesu

6 qui cum in forma Dei esset non rapinam arbitratus est esse se aequalem Deo

7 sed semet ipsum exinanivit formam servi accipiens in similitudinem hominum factus et habitu inventus ut homo

8 humiliavit semet ipsum factus oboediens usque ad mortem mortem autem crucis

9 propter quod et Deus illum exaltavit et donavit illi nomen super omne nomen

10 ut in nomine Iesu omne genu flectat caelestium et terrestrium et infernorum

11 et omnis lingua confiteatur quia Dominus Iesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris

12 itaque carissimi mei sicut semper oboedistis non ut in praesentia mei tantum sed multo magis nunc in absentia mea cum metu et tremore vestram salutem operamini

13 Deus est enim qui operatur in vobis et velle et perficere pro bona voluntate

14 omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et haesitationibus

15 ut sitis sine querella et simplices filii Dei sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravae et perversae inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo

16 verbum vitae continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi quia non in vacuum cucurri neque in vacuum laboravi

17 sed et si immolor supra sacrificium et obsequium fidei vestrae gaudeo et congratulor omnibus vobis

18 id ipsum autem et vos gaudete et congratulamini mihi

19 spero autem in Domino Iesu Timotheum cito me mittere ad vos ut et ego bono animo sim cognitis quae circa vos sunt

20 neminem enim habeo tam unianimem qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit

21 omnes enim sua quaerunt non quae sunt Christi Iesu

22 experimentum autem eius cognoscite quoniam sicut patri filius mecum servivit in evangelium

23 hunc igitur spero me mittere mox ut videro quae circa me sunt

24 confido autem in Domino quoniam et ipse veniam ad vos cito

25 necessarium autem existimavi Epafroditum fratrem et cooperatorem et commilitonem meum vestrum autem apostolum et ministrum necessitatis meae mittere ad vos

26 quoniam quidem omnes vos desiderabat et maestus erat propterea quod audieratis illum infirmatum

27 nam et infirmatus est usque ad mortem sed Deus misertus est eius non solum autem eius verum etiam et mei ne tristitiam super tristitiam haberem

28 festinantius ergo misi illum ut viso eo iterum gaudeatis et ego sine tristitia sim

29 excipite itaque illum cum omni gaudio in Domino et eiusmodi cum honore habetote

30 quoniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accessit tradens animam suam ut impleret id quod ex vobis deerat erga meum obsequium
