Philippians 2

If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,

and that every tongue should 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.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

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;

For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

Do all things without complaining and arguing,

Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

that ye may become 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,

holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

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 labor in vain.

Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

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.

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.

Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:

But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.

But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

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;

since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

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.

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

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.

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

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.
