Philippians 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.

Messiah’s Example of Humility
1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Messiah, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship of the Ruach, if there is any mercy and compassion,
2then make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, united in spirit, with one purpose.
3Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with humility consider others as more important than yourselves,
4looking out not only for your own interests but also for the interests of others.
5Have this attitude in yourselves, which also was in Messiah Yeshua,
6Who, though existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal to God a thing to be grasped.
7But He emptied Himself— taking on the form of a slave, becoming the likeness of men and being found in appearance as a man.
8He humbled Himself— becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name,
10that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord— to the glory of God the Father.
Work Out Your Salvation
12Therefore, my loved ones, just as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence—work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
13For the One working in you is God—both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14Do everything without grumbling or arguing,
15so that you might be blameless and innocent, children of God in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation. Among them you shine as lights in the world,
16holding fast to the word of life, so that I may boast in the day of Messiah that I did not run or labor in vain.
17But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
18The same way, you also—rejoice and share your joy with me!
Sending and Receiving Encouragement
19But I hope in the Lord Yeshua to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too might be encouraged when I know the news about you.
20I have no one else like him who will genuinely care about you—
21for all seek after their own interests, not those of Messiah Yeshua.
22But you know Timothy’s proven character, that he served with me in spreading the Good News like a son with his father.
23Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me.
24And I trust in the Lord that soon I too will come myself.
25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus—my brother and co-worker and fellow soldier, as well as your messenger and aide to my need.
26For he was longing for you all and troubled because you heard that he was sick.
27He certainly was sick, close to death. But God had mercy on him—and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28Therefore I have sent him with special urgency, so that when you see him again you might rejoice and I might be less worried about you.
29So welcome him in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard,
30because he came close to death for the work of Messiah, risking his life to make up for what was lacking in your service to me.
