KJV
King James Version
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
If
there
be
therefore any consolation
in Christ, if any comfort of
love, if any fellowship of
the Spirit, if any bowels
and mercies
,
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
,
Fulfil
ye
my joy ,
that
ye
be
likeminded
, 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
.
Let
nothing be
done
through
strife
or vainglory;
but in lowliness
of
mind
let
each
esteem
other
better
than themselves
.
Do
nothing out
of
selfish
ambition
or empty
pride,
but in humility
consider
others
more
important
than yourselves
.
Look not every
man
on
his
own things
, but every
man
also on
the things
of others.
Each
of
you
should
look not only
to
your
own interests
, but also to
the interests
of others.
Let this mind be in you ,
which was also in Christ Jesus:
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being
in the form of God, thought
it
not robbery
to
be
equal
with God :
Who, existing
in the form of God, did
not consider
equality
with God something
to
be
grasped,
But made
himself of
no
reputation
, and
took
upon
him
the form of a servant, and
was
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 ,
and became obedient unto
death ,
even 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
God also
hath
highly
exalted him ,
and given
him a
name which
is
above every
name:
Therefore
God exalted Him to
the
highest
place
and gave
Him the
name above all
names,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
things
in heaven ,
and things
in
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.
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.
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 which
worketh
in you both
to will and to do
of 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
disputings:
Do everything
without complaining
or
arguing,
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 ;
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 rejoice
in
the day of Christ ,
that I have
not run in
vain,
neither
laboured
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 be
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
.
For
the
same
cause
also
do
ye
joy,
and rejoice with me.
So
you
too
should
be
glad
and rejoice with me.
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
.
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 naturally
care for your state
.
I have nobody
else
like
him
who will genuinely
care for your needs
.
For all seek
their own, not the
things
which
are
Jesus Christ's
.
For all the
others
look
after
their own interests
, not those
of
Jesus Christ
.
But ye
know the
proof
of
him
, that ,
as a son
with the
father ,
he hath
served with me in
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 presently,
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 also
myself shall
come shortly
.
And
I trust in the Lord that I myself will
come soon
.
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
.
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
.
For he longed
after
you
all ,
and
was
full
of heaviness,
because that
ye
had
heard that
he had
been
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
, lest
I
should
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
sent
him
therefore the more carefully
, 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
gladness;
and hold
such
in
reputation:
Welcome
him in the Lord with great
joy,
and honor
men
like
him,
Because for the work of Christ he
was
nigh
unto
death
, not
regarding
his life ,
to supply
your lack
of 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.
