Philippians Chapter 2 Young's Literal Translation

Philippians 2:1

If, then, any exhortation `is' in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Philippians 2:2

fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

Philippians 2:3

nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

Philippians 2:4

each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

Philippians 2:5

For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:6

who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,

Philippians 2:7

but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

Philippians 2:8

and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,

Philippians 2:9

wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that `is' above every name,

Philippians 2:10

that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

Philippians 2:11

and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:12

So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

Philippians 2:13

for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

Philippians 2:14

All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

Philippians 2:15

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

Philippians 2:16

the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

Philippians 2:17

but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,

Philippians 2:18

because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.

Philippians 2:19

And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,

Philippians 2:20

for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,

Philippians 2:21

for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:22

and the proof of him ye know, that as a child `serveth' a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;

Philippians 2:23

him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;

Philippians 2:24

and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.

Philippians 2:25

And I thought `it' necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need -- to send unto you,

Philippians 2:26

seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,

Philippians 2:27

for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.

Philippians 2:28

The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;

Philippians 2:29

receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,

Philippians 2:30

because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
