GNT

1 εἴ τις οὗν παράκλησις ἐν χριστῶ, εἴ τι παραμύθιον ἀγάπης, εἴ τις κοινωνία πνεύματος, εἴ τις σπλάγχνα καὶ οἰκτιρμοί,

2 πληρώσατέ μου τὴν χαρὰν ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ φρονῆτε, τὴν αὐτὴν ἀγάπην ἔχοντες, σύμψυχοι, τὸ ἓν φρονοῦντες,

3 μηδὲν κατ᾽ ἐριθείαν μηδὲ κατὰ κενοδοξίαν, ἀλλὰ τῇ ταπεινοφροσύνῃ ἀλλήλους ἡγούμενοι ὑπερέχοντας ἑαυτῶν,

4 μὴ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ἕκαστος σκοποῦντες, ἀλλὰ [καὶ] τὰ ἑτέρων ἕκαστοι.

5 τοῦτο φρονεῖτε ἐν ὑμῖν ὃ καὶ ἐν χριστῶ ἰησοῦ,

6 ὃς ἐν μορφῇ θεοῦ ὑπάρχων οὐχ ἁρπαγμὸν ἡγήσατο τὸ εἶναι ἴσα θεῶ,

7 ἀλλὰ ἑαυτὸν ἐκένωσεν μορφὴν δούλου λαβών, ἐν ὁμοιώματι ἀνθρώπων γενόμενος· καὶ σχήματι εὑρεθεὶς ὡς ἄνθρωπος

8 ἐταπείνωσεν ἑαυτὸν γενόμενος ὑπήκοος μέχρι θανάτου, θανάτου δὲ σταυροῦ.

9 διὸ καὶ ὁ θεὸς αὐτὸν ὑπερύψωσεν καὶ ἐχαρίσατο αὐτῶ τὸ ὄνομα τὸ ὑπὲρ πᾶν ὄνομα,

10 ἵνα ἐν τῶ ὀνόματι ἰησοῦ πᾶν γόνυ κάμψῃ ἐπουρανίων καὶ ἐπιγείων καὶ καταχθονίων,

11 καὶ πᾶσα γλῶσσα ἐξομολογήσηται ὅτι κύριος ἰησοῦς χριστὸς εἰς δόξαν θεοῦ πατρός.

12 ὥστε, ἀγαπητοί μου, καθὼς πάντοτε ὑπηκούσατε, μὴ ὡς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ μου μόνον ἀλλὰ νῦν πολλῶ μᾶλλον ἐν τῇ ἀπουσίᾳ μου, μετὰ φόβου καὶ τρόμου τὴν ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίαν κατεργάζεσθε·

13 θεὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ ἐνεργῶν ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ τὸ θέλειν καὶ τὸ ἐνεργεῖν ὑπὲρ τῆς εὐδοκίας.

14 πάντα ποιεῖτε χωρὶς γογγυσμῶν καὶ διαλογισμῶν,

15 ἵνα γένησθε ἄμεμπτοι καὶ ἀκέραιοι, τέκνα θεοῦ ἄμωμα μέσον γενεᾶς σκολιᾶς καὶ διεστραμμένης, ἐν οἷς φαίνεσθε ὡς φωστῆρες ἐν κόσμῳ,

16 λόγον ζωῆς ἐπέχοντες, εἰς καύχημα ἐμοὶ εἰς ἡμέραν χριστοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ εἰς κενὸν ἔδραμον οὐδὲ εἰς κενὸν ἐκοπίασα.

17 ἀλλὰ εἰ καὶ σπένδομαι ἐπὶ τῇ θυσίᾳ καὶ λειτουργίᾳ τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν, χαίρω καὶ συγχαίρω πᾶσιν ὑμῖν·

18 τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ καὶ ὑμεῖς χαίρετε καὶ συγχαίρετέ μοι.

19 ἐλπίζω δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ἰησοῦ τιμόθεον ταχέως πέμψαι ὑμῖν, ἵνα κἀγὼ εὐψυχῶ γνοὺς τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν.

20 οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχω ἰσόψυχον ὅστις γνησίως τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν μεριμνήσει,

21 οἱ πάντες γὰρ τὰ ἑαυτῶν ζητοῦσιν, οὐ τὰ ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.

22 τὴν δὲ δοκιμὴν αὐτοῦ γινώσκετε, ὅτι ὡς πατρὶ τέκνον σὺν ἐμοὶ ἐδούλευσεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον.

23 τοῦτον μὲν οὗν ἐλπίζω πέμψαι ὡς ἂν ἀφίδω τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐξαυτῆς·

24 πέποιθα δὲ ἐν κυρίῳ ὅτι καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἐλεύσομαι.

25 ἀναγκαῖον δὲ ἡγησάμην ἐπαφρόδιτον τὸν ἀδελφὸν καὶ συνεργὸν καὶ συστρατιώτην μου, ὑμῶν δὲ ἀπόστολον καὶ λειτουργὸν τῆς χρείας μου, πέμψαι πρὸς ὑμᾶς,

26 ἐπειδὴ ἐπιποθῶν ἦν πάντας ὑμᾶς, καὶ ἀδημονῶν διότι ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἠσθένησεν.

27 καὶ γὰρ ἠσθένησεν παραπλήσιον θανάτῳ· ἀλλὰ ὁ θεὸς ἠλέησεν αὐτόν, οὐκ αὐτὸν δὲ μόνον ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμέ, ἵνα μὴ λύπην ἐπὶ λύπην σχῶ.

28 σπουδαιοτέρως οὗν ἔπεμψα αὐτὸν ἵνα ἰδόντες αὐτὸν πάλιν χαρῆτε κἀγὼ ἀλυπότερος ὦ.

29 προσδέχεσθε οὗν αὐτὸν ἐν κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης χαρᾶς, καὶ τοὺς τοιούτους ἐντίμους ἔχετε,

30 ὅτι διὰ τὸ ἔργον χριστοῦ μέχρι θανάτου ἤγγισεν, παραβολευσάμενος τῇ ψυχῇ ἵνα ἀναπληρώσῃ τὸ ὑμῶν ὑστέρημα τῆς πρός με λειτουργίας.

1  If there be therefore any^{1536 3767} consolation³⁸⁷⁴ in¹⁷²² Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ if any¹⁵³⁶ comfort³⁸⁹⁰ of love,²⁶ if any¹⁵³⁶ fellowship²⁸⁴² of the Spirit,⁴¹⁵¹ if any¹⁵³⁶ bowels⁴⁶⁹⁸ and²⁵³² mercies,³⁶²⁸

2  Fulfill⁴¹³⁷ ye my³⁴⁵⁰ joy,⁵⁴⁷⁹ that²⁴⁴³ ye be likeminded,^{5426 846} having²¹⁹² the³⁵⁸⁸ same⁸⁴⁶ love,²⁶ being of one accord,⁴⁸⁶¹ of one¹⁵²⁰ mind.⁵⁴²⁶

3  Let nothing³³⁶⁷ be done through²⁵⁹⁶ strife²⁰⁵² or²²²⁸ vainglory;²⁷⁵⁴ but²³⁵ in lowliness of mind⁵⁰¹² let each esteem other^{240 2233} better⁵²⁴² than themselves.¹⁴³⁸

4  Look⁴⁶⁴⁸ not³³⁶¹ every man¹⁵³⁸ on his own things,¹⁴³⁸ but²³⁵ every man¹⁵³⁸ also²⁵³² on the things of others.²⁰⁸⁷

5  ¹⁰⁶³ Let this mind be^{5426 5124} in¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ which³⁷³⁹ was also²⁵³² in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus:²⁴²⁴

6  Who,³⁷³⁹ being⁵²²⁵ in¹⁷²² the form³⁴⁴⁴ of God,²³¹⁶ thought²²³³ it not³⁷⁵⁶ robbery⁷²⁵ to be¹⁵¹¹ equal²⁴⁷⁰ with God:²³¹⁶

7  But²³⁵ made himself of no reputation,^{2758 1438} and took²⁹⁸³ upon him the form³⁴⁴⁴ of a servant,¹⁴⁰¹ and was made¹⁰⁹⁶ in¹⁷²² the likeness³⁶⁶⁷ of men:⁴⁴⁴

8  And²⁵³² being found²¹⁴⁷ in fashion⁴⁹⁷⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ a man,⁴⁴⁴ he humbled⁵⁰¹³ himself,¹⁴³⁸ and became¹⁰⁹⁶ obedient⁵²⁵⁵ unto³³⁶⁰ death,²²⁸⁸ even¹¹⁶¹ the death²²⁸⁸ of the cross.⁴⁷¹⁶

9  Wherefore¹³⁵² God²³¹⁶ also²⁵³² hath highly exalted⁵²⁵¹ him,⁸⁴⁶ and²⁵³² given⁵⁴⁸³ him⁸⁴⁶ a name³⁶⁸⁶ which³⁵⁸⁸ is above⁵²²⁸ every³⁹⁵⁶ name:³⁶⁸⁶

10  That²⁴⁴³ at¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ name³⁶⁸⁶ of Jesus²⁴²⁴ every³⁹⁵⁶ knee¹¹¹⁹ should bow,²⁵⁷⁸ of things in heaven,²⁰³² and²⁵³² things in earth,¹⁹¹⁹ and²⁵³² things under the earth;²⁷⁰⁹

11  And²⁵³² that every³⁹⁵⁶ tongue¹¹⁰⁰ should confess¹⁸⁴³ that³⁷⁵⁴ Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ is Lord,²⁹⁶² to¹⁵¹⁹ the glory¹³⁹¹ of God²³¹⁶ the Father.³⁹⁶²

12  Wherefore,⁵⁶²⁰ my³⁴⁵⁰ beloved,²⁷ as²⁵³¹ ye have always³⁸⁴² obeyed,⁵²¹⁹ not³³⁶¹ as⁵⁶¹³ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ presence³⁹⁵² only,³⁴⁴⁰ but²³⁵ now³⁵⁶⁸ much⁴¹⁸³ more³¹²³ in¹⁷²² my³⁴⁵⁰ absence,⁶⁶⁶ work out²⁷¹⁶ your own¹⁴³⁸ salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ with³³²⁶ fear⁵⁴⁰¹ and²⁵³² trembling.⁵¹⁵⁶

13  For¹⁰⁶³ it is²⁰⁷⁶ God²³¹⁶ which worketh¹⁷⁵⁴ in¹⁷²² you⁵²¹³ both²⁵³² to will²³⁰⁹ and²⁵³² to do¹⁷⁵⁴ of his⁵²²⁸ good pleasure.²¹⁰⁷

14  Do⁴¹⁶⁰ all things³⁹⁵⁶ without⁵⁵⁶⁵ murmurings¹¹¹² and²⁵³² disputings:¹²⁶¹

15  That²⁴⁴³ ye may be¹⁰⁹⁶ blameless²⁷³ and²⁵³² harmless,¹⁸⁵ the sons⁵⁰⁴³ of God,²³¹⁶ without rebuke,²⁹⁸ in¹⁷²² the midst³³¹⁹ of a crooked⁴⁶⁴⁶ and²⁵³² perverse¹²⁹⁴ nation,¹⁰⁷⁴ among¹⁷²² whom³⁷³⁹ ye shine⁵³¹⁶ as⁵⁶¹³ lights⁵⁴⁵⁸ in¹⁷²² the world;²⁸⁸⁹

16  Holding forth¹⁹⁰⁷ the word³⁰⁵⁶ of life;²²²² that³⁷⁵⁴ I¹⁶⁹⁸ may rejoice^{1519 2745} in¹⁵¹⁹ the day²²⁵⁰ of Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷ that³⁷⁵⁴ I have not³⁷⁵⁶ run⁵¹⁴³ in¹⁵¹⁹ vain,²⁷⁵⁶ neither³⁷⁶¹ labored²⁸⁷² in¹⁵¹⁹ vain.²⁷⁵⁶

17  Yea,²³⁵ and if¹⁴⁹⁹ I be offered⁴⁶⁸⁹ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ sacrifice²³⁷⁸ and²⁵³² service³⁰⁰⁹ of your⁵²¹⁶ faith,⁴¹⁰² I joy,⁵⁴⁶³ and²⁵³² rejoice with⁴⁷⁹⁶ you⁵²¹³ all.³⁹⁵⁶

18  ¹¹⁶¹ For the³⁵⁸⁸ same cause⁸⁴⁶ also²⁵³² do ye⁵²¹⁰ joy,⁵⁴⁶³ and²⁵³² rejoice with⁴⁷⁹⁶ me.³⁴²⁷

19  But¹¹⁶¹ I trust¹⁶⁷⁹ in¹⁷²² the Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ to send³⁹⁹² Timothy⁵⁰⁹⁵ shortly⁵⁰³⁰ unto you,⁵²¹³ that²⁴⁴³ I also²⁵⁰⁴ may be of good comfort,²¹⁷⁴ when I know¹⁰⁹⁷ your state.^{4012 5216}

20  For¹⁰⁶³ I have²¹⁹² no man³⁷⁶² likeminded,²⁴⁷³ who³⁷⁴⁸ will naturally¹¹⁰⁴ care³³⁰⁹ for your state.^{4012 5216}

21  For¹⁰⁶³ all³⁹⁵⁶ seek²²¹² their own,¹⁴³⁸ not³⁷⁵⁶ the things³⁵⁸⁸ which are Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ's.⁵⁵⁴⁷

22  But¹¹⁶¹ ye know¹⁰⁹⁷ the³⁵⁸⁸ proof¹³⁸² of him,⁸⁴⁶ that,³⁷⁵⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ a son⁵⁰⁴³ with the father,³⁹⁶² he hath served¹³⁹⁸ with⁴⁸⁶² me¹⁶⁹⁸ in¹⁵¹⁹ the³⁵⁸⁸ gospel.²⁰⁹⁸

23  Him⁵¹²⁶ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ I hope¹⁶⁷⁹ to send³⁹⁹² presently,¹⁸²⁴ so soon as⁵⁶¹³ I shall see^{542 302} how it will go with⁴⁰¹² me.¹⁶⁹¹

24  But¹¹⁶¹ I trust³⁹⁸² in¹⁷²² the Lord²⁹⁶² that³⁷⁵⁴ I also²⁵³² myself⁸⁴⁶ shall come²⁰⁶⁴ shortly.⁵⁰³⁰

25  Yet¹¹⁶¹ I supposed²²³³ it necessary³¹⁶ to send³⁹⁹² to⁴³¹⁴ you⁵²⁰⁹ Epaphroditus,¹⁸⁹¹ my³⁴⁵⁰ brother,⁸⁰ and²⁵³² companion in labor,⁴⁹⁰⁴ and²⁵³² fellow soldier,⁴⁹⁶¹ but¹¹⁶¹ your⁵²¹⁶ messenger,⁶⁵² and²⁵³² he that ministered³⁰¹¹ to my³⁴⁵⁰ wants.⁵⁵³²

26  For¹⁸⁹⁴ he longed after^{2258 1971} you⁵²⁰⁹ all,³⁹⁵⁶ and²⁵³² was full of heaviness,⁸⁵ because¹³⁶⁰ that ye had heard¹⁹¹ that³⁷⁵⁴ he had been sick.⁷⁷⁰

27  For¹⁰⁶³ indeed²⁵³² he was sick⁷⁷⁰ nigh unto³⁸⁹⁷ death:²²⁸⁸ but²³⁵ God²³¹⁶ had mercy¹⁶⁵³ on him;⁸⁴⁶ and¹¹⁶¹ not³⁷⁵⁶ on him⁸⁴⁶ only,³⁴⁴⁰ but²³⁵ on me¹⁶⁹¹ also,²⁵³² lest³³⁶³ I should have²¹⁹² sorrow³⁰⁷⁷ upon¹⁹⁰⁹ sorrow.³⁰⁷⁷

28  I sent³⁹⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ the more carefully,⁴⁷⁰⁸ that,²⁴⁴³ when ye see¹⁴⁹² him⁸⁴⁶ again,³⁸²⁵ ye may rejoice,⁵⁴⁶³ and that I²⁵⁰⁴ may be⁵⁶⁰⁰ the less sorrowful.²⁵³

29  Receive⁴³²⁷ him⁸⁴⁶ therefore³⁷⁶⁷ in¹⁷²² the Lord²⁹⁶² with³³²⁶ all³⁹⁵⁶ gladness;⁵⁴⁷⁹ and²⁵³² hold²¹⁹² such⁵¹⁰⁸ in reputation:¹⁷⁸⁴

30  Because³⁷⁵⁴ for¹²²³ the³⁵⁸⁸ work²⁰⁴¹ of Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ he was nigh¹⁴⁴⁸ unto³³⁶⁰ death,²²⁸⁸ not regarding³⁸⁵¹ his life,⁵⁵⁹⁰ to²⁴⁴³ supply³⁷⁸ your⁵²¹⁶ lack⁵³⁰³ of service³⁰⁰⁹ toward⁴³¹⁴ me.³¹⁶⁵

Vul

1 Si qua ergo consolatio in Christo, si quod solatium caritatis, si qua societas spiritus, si qua viscera miserationis:

2 implete gaudium meum ut idem sapiatis, eamdem caritatem habentes, unanimes, idipsum sentientes,

3 nihil per contentionem, neque per inanem gloriam: sed in humilitate superiores sibi invicem arbitrantes,

4 non quæ sua sunt singuli considerantes, sed ea quæ aliorum.

5 Hoc enim sentite in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu:

6 qui cum in forma Dei esset, non rapinam arbitratus est esse se æqualem Deo:

7 sed semetipsum exinanivit, formam servi accipiens, in similitudinem hominum factus, et habitu inventus ut homo.

8 Humiliavit semetipsum factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.

9 Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum, et donavit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen:

10 ut in nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur cælestium, terrestrium et infernorum,

11 et omnis lingua confiteatur, quia Dominus Jesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris.

12 Itaque carissimi mei (sicut semper obedistis), non ut in præsentia mei tantum, sed multo magis nunc in absentia mea, cum metu et tremore vestram salutem operamini.

13 Deus est enim, qui operatur in vobis et velle, et perficere pro bona voluntate.

14 Omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et hæsitationibus:

15 ut sitis sine querela, et simplices filii Dei, sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravæ et perversæ: inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo,

16 verbum vitæ continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi, quia non in vacuum cucurri, neque in vacuum laboravi.

17 Sed et si immolor supra sacrificium, et obsequium fidei vestræ, gaudeo, et congratulor omnibus vobis.

18 Idipsum autem et vos gaudete, et congratulamini mihi.

19 Spero autem in Domino Jesu, Timotheum me cito mittere ad vos: ut et ego bono animo sim, cognitis quæ circa vos sunt.

20 Neminem enim habeo tam unanimem, qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit.

21 Omnes enim quæ sua sunt quærunt, non quæ sunt Jesu Christi.

22 Experimentum autem ejus cognoscite, quia sicut patri filius, mecum servivit in Evangelio.

23 Hunc igitur spero me mittere ad vos, mox ut videro quæ circa me sunt.

24 Confido autem in Domino quoniam et ipse veniam ad vos cito.

25 Necessarium autem existimavi Epaphroditum fratrem, et cooperatorem, et commilitonem meum, vestrum autem apostolum, et ministrum necessitatis meæ, mittere ad vos:

26 quoniam quidem omnes vos desiderabat: et mœstus erat, propterea quod audieratis illum infirmatum.

27 Nam et infirmatus est usque ad mortem: sed Deus misertus est ejus: non solum autem ejus, verum etiam et mei, ne tristitiam super tristitiam haberem.

28 Festinantius ergo misi illum, ut viso eo iterum gaudeatis, et ego sine tristitia sim.

29 Excipite itaque illum cum omni gaudio in Domino, et ejusmodi cum honore habetote;

30 quoniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accessit, tradens animam suam ut impleret id quod ex vobis deerat erga meum obsequium.
