Philippians 2, side by side

¹If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

¹If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

²make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

²Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

³doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

⁴each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

⁴Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

⁵Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁵Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

⁶Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

⁷but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

⁷But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

⁸And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

⁹Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

⁹Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

¹⁰That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

¹¹and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹¹And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹²So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

¹²Wherefore, 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.

¹³For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

¹³For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

¹⁴Do all things without complaining and arguing,

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁵That 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;

¹⁶holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

¹⁶Holding 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.

¹⁷Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁹But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

¹⁹But 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.

²⁰For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²¹For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

²¹For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.

²²But you know the proof of him, that as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

²³Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

²³Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

²⁵But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

²⁵Yet 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.

²⁶since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

²⁶For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

²⁷For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

²⁷For 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.

²⁸I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁸I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

³⁰because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

³⁰Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
