1If, then, any exhortation <FI>is<Fi> in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
1If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,
2fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing--having the same love--of one soul--minding the one thing,
2make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
3nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves--
3doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;
4each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
4not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
5For, let this mind be in you that <FI>is<Fi> also in Christ Jesus,
5Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6who, being in the form of God, thought <FI>it<Fi> not robbery to be equal to God,
6who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;
8and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death--death even of a cross,
8and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.
9wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that <FI>is<Fi> above every name,
9Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;
10that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow--of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth--
10that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,
11and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ <FI>is<Fi> Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12So 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,
12So 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;
13for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
13for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
14All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
14Do all things without murmurings and questionings:
15that 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,
15that 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,
16the 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;
16holding 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.
17but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
17Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:
18because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
18and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19And 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,
19But 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.
20for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
20For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.
21for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
21For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22and the proof of him ye know, that as a child <FI>serveth<Fi> a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.
23him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me--immediately;
23Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:
24and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
24but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.
25And I thought <FI>it<Fi> necessary Epaphroditus--my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need--to send unto you,
25But 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;
26seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
26since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:
27for 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.
27for 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.
28The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
