1 G3767 If there be therefore G1536 any G3874 consolation G1722 in G5547 Christ G1536 , if any G3890 comfort G26 of love G1536 , if any G2842 fellowship G4151 of the Spirit G1536 , if any G4698 bowels G2532 and G3628 mercies,

2 G4137 Fulfil ye [G5657] G3450 my G5479 joy G2443 , that G846 ye be likeminded G5426 [G5725] G2192 , having [G5723] G846 the same G26 love G4861 , being of one accord G1520 , of one G5426 mind [G5723] .

3 G3367 Let nothing G2596 be done through G2052 strife G2228 or G2754 vainglory G235 ; but G5012 in lowliness of mind G2233 let G240 each G2233 esteem [G5740] G240 other G5242 better than [G5723] G1438 themselves.

4 G4648 Look [G5720] G3361 not G1538 every man G1438 on his own things G235 , but G1538 every man G2532 also G3588 on the things G2087 of others.

5 G1063 G5426 Let G5124 this G5426 mind be [G5744] G1722 in G5213 you G3739 , which G2532 was also G1722 in G5547 Christ G2424 Jesus:

6 G3739 Who G5225 , being [G5723] G1722 in G3444 the form G2316 of God G2233 , thought it [G5662] G3756 not G725 robbery G1511 to be [G5750] G2470 equal G2316 with God:

7 G235 But G2758 made G1438 himself G2758 of no reputation [G5656] G2983 , and took upon him [G5631] G3444 the form G1401 of a servant G1096 , and was made [G5637] G1722 in G3667 the likeness G444 of men:

8 G2532 And G2147 being found [G5685] G4976 in fashion G5613 as G444 a man G5013 , he humbled [G5656] G1438 himself G1096 , and became [G5637] G5255 obedient G3360 unto G2288 death G1161 , even G2288 the death G4716 of the cross.

9 G1352 Wherefore G2316 God G2532 also G5251 hath highly exalted [G5656] G846 him G2532 , and G5483 given [G5662] G846 him G3686 a name G3588 which G5228 is above G3956 every G3686 name:

10 G2443 That G1722 at G3686 the name G2424 of Jesus G3956 every G1119 knee G2578 should bow [G5661] G2032 , of things in heaven G2532 , and G1919 things in earth G2532 , and G2709 things under the earth;

11 G2532 And G3956 that every G1100 tongue G1843 should confess [G5672] G3754 that G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ G2962 is Lord G1519 , to G1391 the glory G2316 of God G3962 the Father.

12 G5620 Wherefore G3450 , my G27 beloved G2531 , as G5219 ye have G3842 always G5219 obeyed [G5656] G3361 , not G5613 as G1722 in G3450 my G3952 presence G3440 only G235 , but G3568 now G4183 much G3123 more G1722 in G3450 my G666 absence G2716 , work out [G5737] G1438 your own G4991 salvation G3326 with G5401 fear G2532 and G5156 trembling.

13 G1063 For G2076 it is [G5748] G2316 God G3588 which G1754 worketh [G5723] G1722 in G5213 you G2532 both G2309 to will [G5721] G2532 and G1754 to do [G5721] G5228 of G2107 his good pleasure.

14 G4160 Do [G5720] G3956 all things G5565 without G1112 murmurings G2532 and G1261 disputings:

15 G2443 That G1096 ye may be [G5638] G273 blameless G2532 and G185 harmless G5043 , the sons G2316 of God G298 , without rebuke G1722 , in G3319 the midst G4646 of a crooked G2532 and G1294 perverse [G5772] G1074 nation G1722 , among G3739 whom G5316 ye shine [G5743] G5613 as G5458 lights G1722 in G2889 the world;

16 G1907 Holding forth [G5723] G3056 the word G2222 of life G1519 ; that G1698 I G2745 may rejoice G1519 in G2250 the day G5547 of Christ G3754 , that G5143 I have G3756 not G5143 run [G5627] G1519 in G2756 vain G3761 , neither G2872 laboured [G5656] G1519 in G2756 vain.

17 G235 Yea G1499 , and if G4689 I be offered [G5743] G1909 upon G2378 the sacrifice G2532 and G3009 service G5216 of your G4102 faith G5463 , I joy [G5719] G2532 , and G4796 rejoice with [G5719] G5213 you G3956 all.

18 G1161 For G846 the same cause G2532 also G5463 do G5210 ye G5463 joy [G5720] G2532 , and G4796 rejoice with [G5720] G3427 me.

19 G1161 But G1679 I trust [G5719] G1722 in G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus G3992 to send [G5658] G5095 Timotheus G5030 shortly G5213 unto you G2443 , that G2504 I also G2174 may be of good comfort [G5725] G1097 , when I know [G5631] G5216 your G4012 state.

20 G1063 For G2192 I have [G5719] G3762 no man G2473 likeminded G3748 , who G1104 will naturally G3309 care [G5692] G5216 for your G4012 state.

21 G1063 For G3956 all G2212 seek [G5719] G1438 their own G3756 , not G3588 the things which are G2424 Jesus G5547 Christ's.

22 G1161 But G1097 ye know [G5719] G1382 the proof G846 of him G3754 , that G5613 , as G5043 a son G3962 with the father G1398 , he hath served [G5656] G4862 with G1698 me G1519 in G2098 the gospel.

23 G3303 Him G5126 G3767 therefore G1679 I hope [G5719] G3992 to send [G5658] G1824 presently G5613 , so soon as G302 I G542 shall see [G5632] G4012 how G1691 it will go with me.

24 G1161 But G3982 I trust [G5754] G1722 in G2962 the Lord G3754 that G2064 I G2532 also G846 myself G2064 shall come [G5695] G5030 shortly.

25 G1161 Yet G2233 I supposed [G5662] G316 it necessary G3992 to send [G5658] G4314 to G5209 you G1891 Epaphroditus G3450 , my G80 brother G2532 , and G4904 companion in labour G2532 , and G4961 fellowsoldier G1161 , but G5216 your G652 messenger G2532 , and G3011 he that ministered G3450 to my G5532 wants.

26 G1894 For G2258 he [G5713] G1971 longed after [G5723] G5209 you G3956 all G2532 , and G85 was full of heaviness [G5723] G1360 , because G191 that ye had heard [G5656] G3754 that G770 he had been sick [G5656] .

27 G1063 For G2532 indeed G770 he was sick [G5656] G3897 nigh G2288 unto death G235 : but G2316 God G1653 had mercy [G5656] G846 on him G1161 ; and G3756 not G846 on him G3440 only G235 , but G1691 on me G2532 also G3363 , lest G2192 I should have [G5632] G3077 sorrow G1909 upon G3077 sorrow.

28 G3992 I sent [G5656] G846 him G3767 therefore G4708 the more carefully G2443 , that G1492 , when ye see [G5631] G846 him G3825 again G5463 , ye may rejoice [G5647] G2504 , and that I G5600 may be [G5753] G253 the less sorrowful.

29 G4327 Receive [G5737] G846 him G3767 therefore G1722 in G2962 the Lord G3326 with G3956 all G5479 gladness G2532 ; and G2192 hold [G5720] G5108 such G1784 in reputation:

30 G3754 Because G1223 for G2041 the work G5547 of Christ G1448 he was nigh [G5656] G3360 unto G2288 death G3851 , not regarding [G5666] G5590 his life G2443 , to G378 supply [G5661] G5216 your G5303 lack G3009 of service G4314 toward G3165 me.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ If there is therefore any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, ² fulfill ye my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; ³ [doing] nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; ⁴ not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. ⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶ who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God, ⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; ⁸ and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient [even] unto death, yea, the death of the cross. ⁹ Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] on 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 So then, my beloved, even 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 work, for his good pleasure. ¹⁴ Do all things without murmurings and disputings; ¹⁵ that ye may be blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labour in vain. ¹⁷ Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all: ¹⁸ and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me. ¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy 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 care truly for your state. ²¹ For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. ²² But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child [serveth] a father, [so] he served with me in furtherance of the gospel. ²³ Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me: ²⁴ but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly. ²⁵ But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need; ²⁶ since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was 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, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow. ²⁸ I have sent him therefore the more diligently, 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 joy; and hold such in honour: ³⁰ because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
