Philippians 2

Be Like Christ

1

Thereforeg3767 ifg1487 there is anyg5100 encouragementg3874 in Christg5547, ifg1487 there is anyg5100 consolationg3890 of loveg26, ifg1487 there is anyg5100  afellowshipg2842 of the Spiritg4151, ifg1487 anyg5100  1 baffectiong4698 and compassiong3628,

2

 amakeg4137 my joyg5479 completeg4137  1by  bbeing of the sameg846 mindg5426, maintainingg2192 the sameg846 loveg26, unitedg4861 in spiritg4861, intentg5426 on oneg1520 purposeg5426.

3

Do nothingg3367  1from  2 aselfishnessg2052 org3366  bemptyg2754 conceitg2754, but with humilityg5012a of mindg5012a  cregardg2233 oneg240 anotherg240 as moreg5242 importantg5242 than yourselvesg1438;

4

 ado not merely lookg4648 out for your owng1438 personalg1538 interests, but alsog2532 for the interests of othersg2087.

5

 aHaveg5426 thisg3778 attitudeg5426  1in yourselvesg4771 whichg3739 was alsog2532 in  bChristg5547 Jesusg2424,

6

whog3739, although He  aexistedg5225 in the  bformg3444 of Godg2316,  cdid not regardg2233 equalityg2470 with Godg2316 a thingg725 to be  1graspedg725,

7

but  1 aemptiedg2758 Himselfg1438, takingg2983 the formg3444 of a  bbond-servantg1401, and  cbeingg1096 madeg1096 in the likenessg3667 of meng444.

8

Being foundg2147 in appearanceg4976 as a mang444,  aHe humbledg5013 Himselfg1438 by becomingg1096  bobedientg5255 to the pointg3360 of deathg2288, eveng1161  cdeathg2288  1on a crossg4716.

9

 aFor thisg1352 reasong1352 alsog2532, Godg2316  bhighlyg5251 exaltedg5251 Him, and bestowedg5483 on Him  cthe nameg3686 which is aboveg5228 everyg3956 nameg3686,

10

sog2443 that at the nameg3686 of Jesusg2424  aEVERYg3956 KNEEg1119 WILL BOWg2578, of  bthose who are in heaveng2032 and on earthg1919 and underg2709 the earthg2709,

11

and that everyg3956 tongueg1100 will confessg1843 that Jesusg2424 Christg5547 is  aLordg2962, to the gloryg1391 of Godg2316 the Fatherg3962.

12

Sog5620 theng5620, my belovedg27,  ajustg2531a as you have alwaysg3842 obeyedg5219, not as in my presenceg3952 onlyg3440, but nowg3568 muchg4183 moreg3123 in my absenceg666, workg2716 out your  bsalvationg4991 with  cfearg5401 and tremblingg5156;

13

for it is  aGodg2316 who is at workg1754 in you, bothg2532 to willg2309 and to workg1754  bfor His goodg2107 pleasureg2107.

14

Dog4160 allg3956 thingsg3956 withoutg5565  agrumblingg1112 org2532 disputingg1261;

15

sog2443 that you will  1proveg1096 yourselves to be  ablamelessg273 and innocentg185,  bchildreng5043 of Godg2316 aboveg299b reproachg299b in the midstg3319 of a  ccrookedg4646 and perverseg1294 generationg1074, amongg1722 whomg3739 you  2 dappearg5316 as  3lightsg5458 in the worldg2889,

16

holdingg1907  1fastg1907 the wordg3056 of lifeg2222, sog1519 that in  athe dayg2250 of Christg5547 I will have reasong2745 to gloryg2745 becauseg3754 I did not  brung5143 in vaing2756 norg3761  ctoilg2872 in vaing2756.

17

But eveng2532 ifg1487 I am being  apouredg4689 out as a drinkg4689 offeringg4689 upon  bthe sacrificeg2378 and serviceg3009 of your faithg4102, I rejoiceg5463 and shareg4796 my joyg4796 with you allg3956.

18

You toog2532, I urge you, rejoiceg5463 in the sameg846 wayg846 and shareg4796 your joyg4796 with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19

But I hopeg1679  1in the Lordg2962 Jesusg2424 to  asendg3992  bTimothyg5095 to you shortlyg5030, sog2443 that I alsog2532 may be encouragedg2174 when I learng1097 of your conditiong3588g4012.

20

For I haveg2192 nog3762 oneg3762 else  aof kindredg2473 spiritg2473 whog3748 will genuinelyg1104 be concernedg3309 for your welfareg3588.

21

For they allg3956  aseekg2212 afterg2212 their owng1438 interests, not thoseg3588 of Christg5547 Jesusg2424.

22

But you knowg1097  aof his proveng1382 worthg1382, that  bhe servedg1398 with me in the furtherance of the gospelg2098  clikeg5613 a childg5043 serving his fatherg3962.

23

 aThereforeg3767 I hopeg1679 to sendg3992 him immediatelyg1824, as soon as I seeg872 howg872 thingsg3588 go with me;

24

and  aI trustg3982 in the Lordg2962 that I myselfg846 alsog2532 will be comingg2064 shortlyg5030.

25

But I thoughtg2233 it necessaryg316 to sendg3992 to you  aEpaphroditusg1891, my brotherg80 and  bfellowg4904 workerg4904 and  cfellowg4961 soldierg4961, who is alsog1161 your  1 dmessengerg652 and  aministerg3011 to my needg5532;

26

becauseg1894 he was longingg1971  1for you allg3956 and was distressedg85 becauseg1360 you had heardg191 that he was sickg770.

27

For indeedg2532 he was sickg770 to the pointg3897 of deathg2288, but Godg2316 hadg1653 mercyg1653 on him, and not on him onlyg3441 but alsog2532 on me, sog2443g3361 that I would not haveg2192 sorrowg3077 upon sorrowg3077.

28

Thereforeg3767 I have sentg3992 him allg4709 the moreg4709 eagerlyg4709 sog2443 that when you seeg3708 him againg3825 you may rejoiceg5463 and I may be lessg253 concernedg253 about you.

29

 aReceiveg4327 him theng3767 in the Lordg2962 with allg3956 joyg5479, and  bholdg2192 meng5108 likeg5108 him in highg1784 regardg1784;

30

becauseg3754 he cameg1448 closeg1448 to deathg2288  1 afor the workg2041 of Christg5547, riskingg3850a his lifeg5590 to  bcompleteg378  2whatg5303 was deficientg5303 in your serviceg3009 to me.
