Philippians 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Therefore, if there is any consolation in Christ, any solace of charity, any fellowship of the Spirit, any feelings of commiseration:	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,
2 complete my joy by having the same understanding, holding to the same charity, being of one mind, with the same sentiment.	2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3 Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself.	3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4 Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others.	4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
5 For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus:	5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized.	6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.	7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.	8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Because of this, God has also exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name,	9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 so that, at the name of Jesus, every knee would bend, of those in heaven, of those on earth, and of those in hell,	10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 and so that every tongue would confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.	11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12 And so, my most beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but even more so now in my absence: work toward your salvation with fear and trembling.	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.
13 For it is God who works in you, both so as to choose, and so as to act, in accord with his good will.	13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 And do everything without murmuring or hesitation.	14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 So may you be without blame, simple sons of God, without reproof, in the midst of a depraved and perverse nation, among whom you shine like lights in the world,	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;
16 holding to the Word of Life, until my glory in the day of Christ. For I have not run in vain, nor have I labored in vain.	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.
17 Moreover, if I am to be immolated because of the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and give thanks with all of you.	17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
18 And over this same thing, you also should rejoice and give thanks, together with me.	18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
19 Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, in order that I may be encouraged, when I know the things concerning you.	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.
20 For I have no one else with such an agreeable mind, who, with sincere affection, is solicitous for you.	20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21 For they all seek the things that are of themselves, not the things that are of Jesus Christ.	21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22 So know this evidence of him: that like a son with a father, so has he served with me in the Gospel.	22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23 Therefore, I hope to send him to you immediately, as soon as I see what will happen concerning me.	23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself will also return to you soon.	24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
25 Now I have considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and co-worker, and fellow soldier, and an attendant to my needs, but your Apostle.	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.
26 For certainly, he has desired all of you, and he was saddened because you had heard that he was sick.	26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
27 For he was sick, even unto death, but God took pity on him, and not only on him, but truly on myself also, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.	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.
28 Therefore, I sent him more readily, in order that, by seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without 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.
29 And so, receive him with every joy in the Lord, and treat all those like him with honor.	29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
30 For he was brought close even to death, for the sake of the work of Christ, handing over his own life, so that he might fulfill what was lacking from you concerning my service.	30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
