Berean Standard Bible
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
,
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
,
make full
my joy ,
that
ye
be
of
the
same
mind
, having the same love, being of
one
accord,
of
one
mind;
then
make my joy complete
by
being
like-minded
, having the same love, being united
in
spirit
and
purpose.
`doing'
nothing through
faction
or through
vainglory
, but in lowliness
of
mind
each
counting
other
better
than himself;
Do
nothing out
of
selfish
ambition
or empty
pride
, but in humility
consider
others
more
important
than yourselves.
not
looking
each of you to his
own things
, but each
of
you
also to the things
of others.
Each of you should
look
not
only
to your
own interests
, but also to the interests
of others.
Have
this mind in you ,
which was also in Christ Jesus:
Let
this mind be
in you which was also in Christ Jesus:
who, existing in the form of God, counted
not the
being
on
an
equality with God a
thing
to be grasped,
Who, existing in the form of God, did
not consider
equality with God something
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 human
likeness .
and being found in fashion
as a man, he humbled himself ,
becoming
obedient `even'
unto
death ,
yea,
the
death of
the
cross.
And being found in appearance
as a man, He humbled Himself and
became
obedient to
death —
even
death on
a
cross.
Wherefore
also
God highly
exalted him ,
and gave unto
him the name which
is
above every
name;
Therefore
God exalted Him to
the
highest
place
and gave Him the name above all
names,
that in
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
`things'
in heaven and `things'
on earth and `things'
under the earth,
that at
the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and that
every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
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 ;
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 .
for it is God who worketh
in you both
to will and to work,
for
his good pleasure
.
For it is God who works
in you to will and to act
on
behalf
of
His good purpose
.
Do all
things
without murmurings
and
questionings:
Do everything
without complaining
or
arguing,
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 ,
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
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.
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.
Yea,
and
if I am offered
upon
the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy,
and rejoice with you
all :
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.
and
in
the
same
manner
do
ye
also
joy,
and rejoice with me.
So
you
too
should
be
glad
and rejoice with me.
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
.
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
.
For
I have no
man
likeminded,
who will care truly
for your state
.
I have nobody
else
like
him
who will genuinely
care for your needs
.
For they
all seek
their own, not the
things
of Jesus Christ.
For all the
others
look
after
their own interests
, not those
of Jesus Christ.
But ye
know the
proof
of
him
, that ,
as a child `serveth'
a
father ,
`so'
he served with me in
furtherance
of
the gospel.
But you
know Timothy’s
proven
worth
, that as a child with
his
father he has
served with me to
advance
the gospel.
Him
therefore
I hope to send forthwith,
so
soon as I shall
see how
it
will
go
with me :
So
I hope to send him
as
soon as I see what
happens
with me .
but
I trust in the Lord that I myself also
shall
come shortly
.
And
I trust in the Lord that I myself will
come soon
.
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;
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.
since
he longed
after
you
all ,
and was
sore
troubled,
because ye
had
heard that
he was sick:
For
he has
been
longing
for
all of
you
and is
distressed
because you
heard he was ill.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
Receive
him therefore
in the Lord with all
joy ;
and hold
such
in
honor :
Welcome
him in the Lord with great
joy ,
and honor men
like
him,
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.
because he
nearly
died
for the work of Christ, risking
his life to make
up
for
your deficit
of
service to
me.
