Pilipiyim (Philippians) 2

1If, then, there is any encouragement in Messiah, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
2make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, one in being and of purpose,
3doing none at all through selfishness or self-conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.
4Each one should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
5For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah יהושע,
6who, being in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped,
7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men.
8And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.
9Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name,
10that at the Name of יהושע every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
11and every tongue should confess# Isa. 45:23 that יהושע Messiah is Master, to the esteem of Elohim the Father.
12So that, my beloved, as you always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much rather in my absence – work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling,# Psa. 2:11
13for it is Elohim who is working in you both to desire and to work for his good pleasure.
14Do all matters without grumblings and disputings,
15in order that you be blameless and faultless, children of Elohim without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation,# Deu. 32:5 among whom you shine as lights in the world,
16holding on to the Word of life, for a boast to me in the day of Messiah, that I have not run in vain or laboured in vain.
17In fact, even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the offering and service of your belief, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
18So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
19But I trust in the Master יהושע to send Timotiyos to you shortly, so that I too am encouraged by news from you.
20For I have no one else of the same mind, who takes a genuine interest in your welfare.
21For all seek their own interests, not those of Messiah יהושע.
22But you know he has proven himself, that as a son with his father he served with me for the Good News.
23So I expect to send him as soon as I see how it goes with me,
24and I trust in the Master that I myself shall also come shortly.
25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditos, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, and your emissary and servant to my need,
26since he was longing for you all, and being troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
27For indeed he was sick, near to death, but Elohim had compassion on him, and not only on him but on me as well, lest I should have sadness upon sadness.
28Therefore I sent him more eagerly, so that on seeing him again you might rejoice, and I be less sad.
29Receive him therefore in the Master with all joy, and hold such as he in esteem,
30because for the work of Messiah he was near death, risking his life, to fill up what was lacking in your service toward me.

Philippians 2
2
Be Like Christ
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 affection and compassion, 2make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 3Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; 4do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but #I.e. laid aside His privilegesemptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
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; 13for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, 16holding 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. 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. 18You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I learn of your condition. 20For I have no one else of kindred spirit who will genuinely be concerned for your welfare. 21For they all seek after their own interests, not those of Christ Jesus. 22But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving 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 I myself also will be coming shortly. 25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need; 26because he was longing #One early ms reads to see you allfor you all and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 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. 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. 29Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard; 30because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.
