Sha'ul's Letter to the Philippians, Chapter 2
{2:1} If there is therefore any exhortation in Messiah, if any
consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender
mercies and compassion, {2:2} make my joy full, by being like-minded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; {2:3} doing
nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each
counting others better than himself; {2:4} each of you not just
looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of
others.
{2:5} Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah Yeshua,
{2:6} who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to
be equal with God, {2:7} but emptied himself, taking the form of a
servant, being made in the likeness of men. {2:8} And being found in
human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the
death of the cross. {2:9} Therefore God also highly exalted him, and
gave to him the name which is above every name; {2:10} that at the
name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on
[1>]eretz[<1], and those under the [2>]eretz[<2], {2:11} and that
every tongue should confess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
{2:12} So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only
in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own
salvation with fear and trembling. {2:13} For it is God who works in
you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. {2:14} Do all
things without murmurings and disputes, {2:15} that you may become
blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst
of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as
lights in the world, {2:16} holding up the word of life; that I may
have something to boast in the day of Messiah, that I didn't run in
vain nor labor in vain. {2:17} Yes, and if I am poured out on the
sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you
all. {2:18} In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
{2:19} But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon,
that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing. {2:20}
For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
{2:21} For they all seek their own, not the things of Yeshua the
Messiah. {2:22} But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves
a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News. {2:23}
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go
with me. {2:24} But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come
shortly. {2:25} But I counted it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your
apostle and minister to my need; {2:26} since he longed for you all,
and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick. {2:27}
For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and
not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on
sorrow. {2:28} I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that,
when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less
sorrowful. {2:29} Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and
hold such in honor, {2:30} because for the work of Messiah he came
near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in
your service toward me.
