Lettera ai Filippesi - Philippians 2

GREEK BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Εαν λοιπον υπαρχη τις παρηγορια εν Χριστω η τις παραμυθια αγαπης, η τις κοινωνια Πνευματος η σπλαγχνα τινα και οικτιρμοι,	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 καμετε πληρη την χαραν μου, να φρονητε το αυτο, εχοντες την αυτην αγαπην, οντες ομοψυχοι και ομοφρονες,	2 Fulfil ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3 μη πραττοντες μηδεν εξ αντιζηλιας η κενοδοξιας, αλλ' εν ταπεινοφροσυνη θεωρουντες αλληλους υπερεχοντας εαυτων.	3 Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4 Μη αποβλεπετε εκαστος τα εαυτου, αλλ' εκαστος και τα των αλλων.	4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's.
5 Το αυτο δε φρονημα εστω εν υμιν, το οποιον ητο και εν τω Χριστω Ιησου,	5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 οστις εν μορφη Θεου υπαρχων, δεν ενομισεν αρπαγην το να ηναι ισα με τον Θεον,	6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 αλλ' εαυτον εκενωσε λαβων δουλου μορφην, γενομενος ομοιος με τους ανθρωπους,	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 και ευρεθεις κατα το σχημα ως ανθρωπος, εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου, θανατου δε σταυρου.	8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9 Δια τουτο και ο Θεος υπερυψωσεν αυτον και εχαρισεν εις αυτον ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα,	9 For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10 δια να κλινη εις το ονομα του Ιησου παν γονυ επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων,	10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11 και πασα γλωσσα να ομολογηση οτι ο Ιησους Χριστος ειναι Κυριος εις δοξαν Θεου Πατρος.	11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12 Ωστε, αγαπητοι μου, καθως παντοτε υπηκουσατε, ουχι ως εν τη παρουσια μου μονον, αλλα τωρα πολυ περισσοτερον εν τη απουσια μου, μετα φοβου και τρομου εργαζεσθε την εαυτων σωτηριαν?	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 διοτι ο Θεος ειναι ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν κατα την ευδοκιαν αυτου.	13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
14 Πραττετε τα παντα χωρις γογγυσμων και αμφισβητησεων,	14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
15 δια να γινησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι, τεκνα Θεου αμωμητα εν μεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης, μεταξυ των οποιων λαμπετε ως φωστηρες εν τω κοσμω,	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 κρατουντες τον λογον της ζωης, δια καυχημα μου εν τη ημερα του Χριστου, οτι δεν ετρεξα εις ματην ουδε εις ματην εκοπιασα.	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 Αλλ' εαν και προσφερω εμαυτον σπονδην επι της θυσιας και λειτουργιας της πιστεως σας, χαιρω και συγχαιρω μετα παντων υμων?	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 ωσαυτως δε και σεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μετ' εμου.	18 And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
19 Ελπιζω δε επι τον Κυριον Ιησουν να πεμψω προς εσας ταχεως τον Τιμοθεον, δια να ευφραινωμαι και εγω μαθων την καταστασιν σας?	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 διοτι δεν εχω ουδενα ισοψυχον, οστις να μεριμνηση γνησιως περι της καταστασεως σας?	20 For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
21 επειδη παντες ζητουσι τα εαυτων, ουχι τα του Ιησου Χριστου?	21 For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ's.
22 γνωριζετε δε την δοκιμασιαν αυτου, οτι ως τεκνον μετα του πατρος εδουλευσε μετ' εμου εις το ευαγγελιον.	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 Τουτον λοιπον ελπιζω να πεμψω ευθυς, καθως ιδω το τελος των υποθεσεων μου?	23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24 πεποιθα δε επι τον Κυριον οτι και εγω θελω ελθει ταχεως.	24 And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
25 Εστοχασθην ομως αναγκαιον να πεμψω προς εσας τον Επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου, απεσταλμενον δε απο σας και υπηρετησαντα εις την χρειαν μου,	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 επειδη επεποθει ολους εσας και ελυπειτο, διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησε.	26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
27 Και τωοντι ησθενησε μεχρι θανατου? αλλ' ο Θεος ηλεησεν αυτον, ουχι δε αυτον μονον, αλλα και εμε, δια να μη λαβω λυπην επι λυπην.	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 Οθεν επεμψα αυτον μετα περισσοτερας σπουδης, δια να χαρητε ιδοντες αυτον παλιν, και εγω να εχω ολιγωτεραν λυπην.	28 Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
29 Δεχθητε λοιπον αυτον εν Κυριω μετα πασης χαρας και τιματε τους τοιουτους,	29 Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
30 επειδη δια το εργον του Χριστου επλησιασε μεχρι θανατου, καταφρονησας την ζωην αυτου, δια να αναπληρωση την ελλειψιν υμων της εις εμε υπηρεσιας.	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.
