The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
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
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 Deus est enim qui operatur in vobis et velle et perficere pro bona voluntate
13
for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
14 omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et haesitationibus
14
Do everything without grumbling or arguing,
15 ut sitis sine querella et simplices filii Dei sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravae et perversae inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo
15
so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky
16 verbum vitae continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi quia non in vacuum cucurri neque in vacuum laboravi
16
as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
17 sed et si immolor supra sacrificium et obsequium fidei vestrae gaudeo et congratulor omnibus vobis
17
But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
18 id ipsum autem et vos gaudete et congratulamini mihi
18
So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
19 spero autem in Domino Iesu Timotheum cito me mittere ad vos ut et ego bono animo sim cognitis quae circa vos sunt
19
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
20 neminem enim habeo tam unianimem qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit
20
I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare.
21 omnes enim sua quaerunt non quae sunt Christi Iesu
21
For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
22 experimentum autem eius cognoscite quoniam sicut patri filius mecum servivit in evangelium
22
But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel.
