Philippians 2
2
1If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 3doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; 4not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 5Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; 8and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross. 9Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; 10that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, 11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12So then, my beloved, even 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 worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. 14Do all things without murmurings and questionings: 15that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world, 16holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain. 17Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all: 18and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
19But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. 20For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state. 21For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. 22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel. 23Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me: 24but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly. 25But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need; 26since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick: 27for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow. 28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, 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 in honor: 30because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

Philippians 2
2
1If, therefore, there is any idud (encouragement) in Moshiach, if any nechamah (comfort) of ahavah (love), if any deveykus (attachment to G-d) in the Messianic chavrusashaft (association) of the Ruach Hakodesh, if any warmth of affection and rachamanut (compassion, mercy),
2Then make my simcha (joy) shleimah (complete) by having the same lev, the same ahavah, being an agudah association with one neshamah, thinking the same machshavot (thoughts),
3Doing nothing according to anochiyut#2:3 Pp 1:17 (selfishness) nor according to empty ga'avah (conceit, haughtiness, arrogance), but in anavah (humility), fergin (graciously grant) each other esteem above yourselves.#2:3 Ro 12:10
4Let each of you talmidim look after not only your own interests, but also the best interests of others.#2:4 2:21; 1C 10:24,33
5Let this mind be in you which was also in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
6Who, though existing in the demut of the mode of being of Elohim,#2:6 His etzem or essential nature, Jn 1:1-2; 17:5 nevertheless Moshiach did not regard being equal with G-d as a thing to be seized,#2:6 Gn 3:5
7But poured out and emptied himself,#2:7 2C 8:9 taking the demut of the mode of being of an eved,#2:7 Isa 52:13—53:12 T.N. see the AVDI TZADDIK TZEMACH DOVID MOSHIACH Jer 23:5; Zech 3:8 and was born in the likeness of Bnei Adam,#2:7 Jn 1:14; Ro 8:3; MJ 2:14-17 and having been found in appearance as an Adam,
8Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach humbled himself and took the path of shiflut (lowliness), unto mishma'at#2:8 Pp 2:12 (obedience)#2:8 cf. Gn 3:17 even unto death,#2:8 Jn 10:17; MJ 5:8; 12:2 and that, a death on HaEtz.#2:8 the Tree, Dt 21:23; 27:26; Ga 3:13; Pp 3:18
9Therefore, also Hashem exalted#2:9 Isa 52:13; 53:12; Dan 9:26; 7:14; Ac 2:33; MJ 1:3 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and gave to him haShem#2:9 Ep 1:21; MJ 1:4 above every name,
10That at haShem of Yehoshua, KOL BERECH (every knee) will bow,#2:10 Isa 45:23 of beings b'Shomayim and ba'Aretz and mitachat la'Aretz (in the world below),
11And KOL LASHON#2:11 Isa 45:23 (every tongue) shall make hoda'ah (confession) with an Ani Ma'amin that is an open and public admission that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) is Adoneinu, to the kavod of Elohim Avinu.
12Therefore, Chaverim, just as you have always had mishma'at#2:12 Pp 2:8 (obedience) concerning me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own Yeshu'ah (Salvation)#2:12 1:19[28] B'YIR'AH (with fear) and BIRA'DAH “with trembling”.#2:12 Ps 2:11
13For Hashem is the one working in you, both to will and to work according to His chafetz (good pleasure of His will).#2:13 Ezra 1:5
14Do all things without murmurings and madon,
15That you may be innocent and without michshol of blame,#2:15 1:10 bnei haElohim TAMIM U'MUM#2:15 Ex 12:5; Lv 22:20; Isa 53:7-9 (unblemished and unspotted) in the midst of a DOR IKKESH UFETALTOL (warped and crooked generation),#2:15 Dt 32:5 among whom you shine as the ZOHAR#2:15 Dan 12:3 in the Olam Hazeh,
16Holding fast the Dvar HaChayyim. This is so that I will have reason for glorying on the Yom HaMoshiach,#2:16 Pp 1:6,10 that I neither ran nor labored L'TOHU (in vain).#2:16 Isa 49:4; 65:23
17And, indeed, if my neshamah is to be poured out as a nesekh (libation wine) offering upon the korban (sacrifice) of the avodas kodesh (kohenʼs service, ministry) of your emunah, I have simcha, rejoicing together with you all.#2:17 cf. Ro 15:16; 2Ti 4:6
18And in the same way also you have simcha, rejoicing together with me.#2:18 1:4,18; 1:25; 2:2,17
19I have tikvah b'Adoneinu Yehoshua to send Timotiyos to you soon, that I also may be cheered up in the da'as of the things concerning you.
20For I have no one like-minded who will emesdik (genuinely) care for your spiritual welfare.
21All of them are seeking their own interest,#2:21 2:4 not those of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
22But of the proven mamashus (real worth) of Timotiyos you have da'as, because as a ben with his abba, Timotiyos served with me in the Besuras HaGeulah.
23Therefore, I have tikvah to send him, as soon as I see how things will go with me.
24But I have bitachon in Hashem that indeed I will come quickly.
25But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, the Ach b'Moshiach and fellow po'el (worker) and fellow chaiyal (soldier) of mine, but your shliach and keli kodesh (minister) of my need.#2:25 4:18
26I am sending him to you, because he was yearning after you all and was under zeiyar (extremely great) stress, because you heard that he was ill.
27For indeed he was ill, coming near to death, but Hashem had mercy on him not on him only but also on me, lest I should have agmat nefesh upon agmat nefesh.
28Therefore, I am all the more eager to dispatch him to you, in order that when you have seen him again, you may have simcha and I may have less agmat nefesh.
29Therefore, receive him in Adoneinu with all simcha and hold esteem for such klei kodesh (ministers),#2:29 1C 16:8,16; 1Ti 5:17
30Because he came near to death on account of the avodas kodesh of Moshiach, performing an act of Messianic mesirat nefesh (whole-hearted devotion)#2:30 to the cause of Moshiach, even at risk of life having risked his life, that he might make up for the ministry to me that you could not give.
