Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 2:1 | If, then, any exhortation is in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, |
| 2:2 | fulfil you my joy, that you may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing, |
| 2:3 | nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves -- |
| 2:4 | each not to your own look you, but each also to the things of others. |
| 2:5 | For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus, |
| 2:6 | who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God, |
| 2:7 | but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, |
| 2:8 | and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross, |
| 2:9 | wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, |
| 2:10 | that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth -- |
| 2:11 | and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
| 2:12 | So that, my beloved, as you always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out, |
| 2:13 | for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure. |
| 2:14 | All things do without murmurings and reasonings, |
| 2:15 | that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom you do appear as luminaries in the world, |
| 2:16 | the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour; |
| 2:17 | but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all, |
| 2:18 | because of this do you also rejoice and joy with me. |
| 2:19 | And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you, |
| 2:20 | for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care, |
| 2:21 | for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus, |
| 2:22 | and the proof of him you know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news; |
| 2:23 | him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately; |
| 2:24 | and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come. |
| 2:25 | And I thought it necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need -- to send unto you, |
| 2:26 | seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because you heard that he ailed, |
| 2:27 | for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have. |
| 2:28 | The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again you may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful; |
| 2:29 | receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour, |
| 2:30 | because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me. |
