Εἴ τις οὖν παράκλησις ἐν Χριστῷ εἴ τι παραμύθιον ἀγάπης εἴ τις κοινωνία Πνεύματος εἴ τις σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί |
Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, |
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 |
πληρώσατέ μου τὴν χαρὰν ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην ἔχοντες σύμψυχοι τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες |
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose. |
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. |
|
| 3 |
μηδὲν κατ’ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν |
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. |
[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
|
| 4 |
μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστοι σκοποῦντες ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι |
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. |
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. |
|
| 5 |
Τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ |
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: |
<1063> Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: |
|
| 6 |
Ὃς ἐν μορφῇ Θεοῦ ὑπάρχων οὐχ ἁρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι ἴσα Θεῷ |
Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, |
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: |
|
| 7 |
ἀλλὰ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν μορφὴν δούλου λαβών ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος |
but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness. |
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: |
|
| 8 |
καὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτὸν γενόμενος ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ |
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross. |
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. |
|
| 9 |
Διὸ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς αὐτὸν ὑπερύψωσεν καὶ ἐχαρίσατο αὐτῷ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα |
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, |
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: |
|
| 10 |
ἵνα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων |
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, |
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; |
|
| 11 |
καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται ὅτι ΚΥΡΙΟΣ ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ εἰς δόξαν Θεοῦ Πατρός |
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
|
| 12 |
Ὥστε ἀγαπητοί μου καθὼς πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε μὴ ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου μόνον ἀλλὰ νῦν πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε |
Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. |
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 |
Θεὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐνεργῶν ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ τὸ θέλειν καὶ τὸ ἐνεργεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐδοκίας |
For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose. |
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure. |
|
| 14 |
Πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν |
Do everything without complaining or arguing, |
Do all things without murmurings and disputings: |
|
| 15 |
ἵνα γένησθε ἄμεμπτοι καὶ ἀκέραιοι τέκνα Θεοῦ ἄμωμα μέσον γενεᾶς σκολιᾶς καὶ διεστραμμένης ἐν οἷς φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ |
so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world |
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 |
λόγον ζωῆς ἐπέχοντες εἰς καύχημα ἐμοὶ εἰς ἡμέραν Χριστοῦ ὅτι οὐκ εἰς κενὸν ἔδραμον οὐδὲ εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασα |
as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. |
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 |
Ἀλλὰ εἰ καὶ σπένδομαι ἐπὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ λειτουργίᾳ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν χαίρω καὶ συνχαίρω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν |
But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. |
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. |
|
| 18 |
τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ ὑμεῖς χαίρετε καὶ συνχαίρετέ μοι |
So you too should be glad and rejoice with me. |
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. |
|
| 19 |
Ἐλπίζω δὲ ἐν Κυρίῳ Ἰησοῦ Τιμόθεον ταχέως πέμψαι ὑμῖν ἵνα κἀγὼ εὐψυχῶ γνοὺς τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν |
Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing. |
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 |
οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχω ἰσόψυχον ὅστις γνησίως τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν μεριμνήσει |
I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs. |
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. |
|
| 21 |
οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν οὐ τὰ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ |
For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. |
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. |
|
| 22 |
τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον |
But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel. |
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. |
|
| 23 |
Τοῦτον μὲν οὖν ἐλπίζω πέμψαι ὡς ἂν ἀφίδω τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐξαυτῆς |
So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me. |
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. |
|
| 24 |
πέποιθα δὲ ἐν Κυρίῳ ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἐλεύσομαι |
And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon. |
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. |
|
| 25 |
Ἀναγκαῖον δὲ ἡγησάμην Ἐπαφρόδιτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συνεργὸν καὶ συστρατιώτην μου ὑμῶν δὲ ἀπόστολον καὶ λειτουργὸν τῆς χρείας μου πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς |
But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs. |
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 |
ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς (ἰδεῖν) καὶ ἀδημονῶν διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν |
For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. |
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. |
|
| 27 |
καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον θανάτῳ ἀλλὰ ὁ Θεὸς ἠλέησεν αὐτόν οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην σχῶ |
He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. |
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 |
Σπουδαιοτέρως οὖν ἔπεμψα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ |
Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious. |
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 |
προσδέχεσθε οὖν αὐτὸν ἐν Κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἐντίμους ἔχετε |
Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, |
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: |
|
| 30 |
ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον Χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν παραβολευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας |
because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me. |
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. |
|
