| [1]If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, |
[1]IF, therefore, you have consolation in the Meshiha, and if there be comfort in love,ⓘ and if communion of the Spirit, and if compassions and mercies, |
| [2]Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. |
[2]Complete my gladness by having one sentiment and one love, and one soul and one mind. |
| [3]Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. |
[3]And do nothing in contention or vainglorying, but in meekness of mind let a man consider his neighbour as better than himself. |
| [4]Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. |
[4]And let no one care for himself [only], but every one for his neighbour also. |
| [5]Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: |
[5]And feelⓘ this in yourselves, which Jeshu the Meshiha [did] also: |
| [6]Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: |
[6]Who, when he was in the form of Aloha, considered this not to be robbery, (this, namely,) that he was the co-equal of Aloha: |
| [7]But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: |
[7]Yet emptied he himself, and took the form of a servant, and was made in the form of men; and in fashion was found as a man, |
| [8]And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. |
[8]And humbled himself, and was obedient unto death, but the death of the cross. |
| [9]Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: |
[9]Wherefore also Aloha greatly exalted him, and gave him a name that is more excellent than all names, |
| [10]That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; |
[10]That at the name of Jeshu every knee should kneel, of those in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth; |
| [11]And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
[11]And that every tongue should confess that Jeshu the Meshiha is the Lord, to the glory of Aloha his Father. |
| [12]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. |
[12]WHEREFORE, my beloved, as you have all time obeyed, not while I am near you only, but now that I am far from you, the more with fear and trembling work the work of your salvation; |
| [13]For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. |
[13]For Aloha himself effectuatesⓘ in you also to will, also to do, the thing which you will.ⓘ |
| [14]Do all things without murmurings and disputings: |
[14]Do every thing without murmuring and without division; |
| [15]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; |
[15]That you may be perfect and without spot, as the pure children of Aloha, who dwell in a generation depraved and perverse; and be manifest among them as luminaries in the world, |
| [16]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. |
[16]To be unto them for a place of salvation, for my exultation in the day of the Meshiha, that I may not have run in vain, nor laboured to no purpose. |
| [17]Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. |
[17]But, also,ⓘ offered on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad, and rejoice with you all; |
| [18]For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. |
[18]So also you be glad and rejoice with me. |
| [19]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. |
[19]But I hope in our Lord Jeshu to send Timotheos to you soon, that I also may have quietness when I learn concerning you. |
| [20]For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. |
[20]For I have no other who is so as my [own] soul, who will diligently take care for yours. |
| [21]For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. |
[21]For all are seeking what is theirs, and not what is of Jeshu Meshiha. |
| [22]But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. |
[22]But the proof of this [evangelist] you know, that as a son with his father, so hath he wrought with me in the gospel. Him, therefore, |
| [23]Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. |
[23]I hope to send to you speedily, when I shall have seen what [will be done] with me. |
| [24]But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. |
[24]And I confide on my Lord, that I also speedily shall come unto you. |
| [25]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. |
[25]But now the matter hath pressed me to send to you the brother Epaphroditos, who is a helper and labourer with me, but your messenger and minister to my necessity; |
| [26]For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. |
[26]For he desired to see you all, and was anxious, because he knew that you had heard that he was sick. |
| [27]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. |
[27]Yes, he was sick, unto death; but Aloha had mercy upon him; but not upon him only, but upon me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. |
| [28]I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. |
[28]Urgently, therefore, have I sent him to you, that when you have seen him again you may rejoice, and that I may have a little breathing. |
| [29]Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: |
[29]Receive him, then, in the Lord with all joy; and those who are such, hold in estimation: |
| [30]Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. |
[30]Because for the work of the Meshiha he had come nigh unto death, and was disregardful of his life, that he might accomplish that which you had wanted in the service which concerned me. |
