Philippians 2

1Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,

ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω, ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης, ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος, ει τις σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι,

2fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

πληρωσατε μου την χαραν, ινα το αυτο φρονητε, την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες, συμψυχοι, το εν φρονουντες,

3Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν, αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων.

4Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε, αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος.

5Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου,

6who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,

ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω,

7but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.

αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων, εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος,

8And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου, θανατου δε σταυρου.

9Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα,

10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,

ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων,

11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησηται οτι κυριος ιησους χριστος εις δοξαν θεου πατρος.

12Therefore, my beloved, as you 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;

ωστε, αγαπητοι μου, καθως παντοτε υπηκουσατε, μη ως εν τη παρουσια μου μονον, αλλα νυν πολλω μαλλον εν τη απουσια μου, μετα φοβου και τρομου την εαυτων σωτηριαν κατεργαζεσθε·

13for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.

ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας.

14Do all things without complaining and disputing,

παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων,

15that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

ινα γενησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι, τεκνα θεου αμωμητα εν μεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης, εν οις φαινεσθε ως φωστηρες εν κοσμω,

16holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

λογον ζωης επεχοντες, εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου, οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα.

17Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων, χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν·

18For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.

το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι.

19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.

ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν, ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων·

20For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.

ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον, οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει·

21For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.

οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν, ου τα χριστου ιησου.

22But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.

την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε, οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον.

23Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.

τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης·

24But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.

πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι.

25Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;

αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου, υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου, πεμψαι προς υμας,

26since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας, και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν.

27For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

και γαρ ησθενησεν παραπλησιον θανατου· αλλ ο θεος αυτον ηλεησεν, ουκ αυτον δε μονον, αλλα και εμε, ινα μη λυπην επι λυπην σχω.

28Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.

σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον, ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε, καγω αλυποτερος ω.

29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;

προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας, και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε,

30because for the work of Christ he came close to death, not regarding his life, to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν, παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας.
