Philippians 2 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Be Like Christ

Phl 2:1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any [fn]affection and compassion,

Phl 2:2

Phl 2:2make my joy complete [fn]by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Phl 2:3

Phl 2:3Do nothing [fn]from [fn]selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;

Phl 2:4

Phl 2:4do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

Phl 2:5

Phl 2:5Have this attitude [fn]in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

Phl 2:6

Phl 2:6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be [fn]grasped,

Phl 2:7

Phl 2:7but [fn]emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

Phl 2:8

Phl 2:8Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death [fn]on a cross.

Phl 2:9

Phl 2:9For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

Phl 2:10

Phl 2:10so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Phl 2:11

Phl 2:11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Phl 2:12

Phl 2:12So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling;

Phl 2:13

Phl 2:13for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

Phl 2:14

Phl 2:14Do all things without grumbling or disputing;

Phl 2:15

Phl 2:15so that you will [fn]prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you [fn]appear as [fn]lights in the world,

Phl 2:16

Phl 2:16holding [fn]fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.

Phl 2:17

Phl 2:17But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

Phl 2:18

Phl 2:18You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

Phl 2:19

Phl 2:19But I hope [fn]in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition.

Phl 2:20

Phl 2:20For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare.

Phl 2:21

Phl 2:21For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus.

Phl 2:22

Phl 2:22But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

Phl 2:23

Phl 2:23Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

Phl 2:24

Phl 2:24and I trust in the Lord that I myself also will be coming shortly.

Phl 2:25

Phl 2:25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your [fn]messenger and minister to my need;

Phl 2:26

Phl 2:26because he was longing [fn]for you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.

Phl 2:27

Phl 2:27For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

Phl 2:28

Phl 2:28Therefore I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you.

Phl 2:29

Phl 2:29Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

Phl 2:30

Phl 2:30because he came close to death [fn]for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete [fn]what was deficient in your service to me.
