Philippians 2

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fel owship in the Spirit, anywarmth or sympathy -- I appeal to you,	1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2 make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind.	2 Fulfil ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3 Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should givepreference to others,	3 Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4 everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others.	4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's.
5 Make your own the mind of Christ Jesus:	5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped.	6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings are; and being in everyway like a human being,	7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8 he was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross.	8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9 And for this God raised him high, and gave him the name which is above al other names;	9 For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10 so that al beings in the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name ofJesus	10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11 and that every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father.	11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12 So, my dear friends, you have always been obedient; your obedience must not be limited to timeswhen I am present. Now that I am absent it must be more in evidence, so work out your salvation in fear andtrembling.	12 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
13 It is God who, for his own generous purpose, gives you the intention and the powers to act.	13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
14 Let your behaviour be free of murmuring and complaining	14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
15 so that you remain faultless and pure, unspoilt children of God surrounded by a deceitful andunderhand brood, shining out among them like bright stars in the world,	15 That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.
16 proffering to it the Word of life. Then I shall have reason to be proud on the Day of Christ, for it wil notbe for nothing that I have run the race and toiled so hard.	16 Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
17 Indeed, even if my blood has to be poured as a libation over your sacrifice and the offering of yourfaith, then I shal be glad and join in your rejoicing-	17 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
18 and in the same way, you must be glad and join in my rejoicing.	18 And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
19 I hope, in the Lord Jesus, to send Timothy to you soon, so that my mind may be set at rest when I hearhow you are.	19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.
20 There is nobody else that I can send who is like him and cares as sincerely for your well-being;	20 For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
21 they al want to work for themselves, not for Jesus Christ.	21 For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ's.
22 But you know what sort of person he has proved himself, working with me for the sake of the gospellike a son with his father.	22 Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
23 That is the man, then, that I am hoping to send to you immediately I can make out what is going tohappen to me;	23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 but I am confident in the Lord that I shal come myself, too, before long.	24 And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
25 Nevertheless I thought it essential to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fel ow-worker andcompanion-in-arms since he came as your representative to look after my needs;	25 But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.
26 because he was missing you al and was worrying because you had heard that he was il .	26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
27 Indeed he was seriously il and nearly died; but God took pity on him -- and not only on him but also onme, to spare me one grief on top of another.	27 For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 So I am sending him back as promptly as I can so that you wil have the joy of seeing him again, andthat wil be some comfort to me in my distress.	28 Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
29 Welcome him in the Lord, then, with al joy; hold people like him in honour,	29 Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
30 because it was for Christ's work that he came so near to dying, risking his life to do the duty to mewhich you could not do yourselves.	30 Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service.
