Philippians 2
2
1If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,
3nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves —
4each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
5For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,
6who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,
7but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
8and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,
9wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,
10that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —
11and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,
13for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
15that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
16the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;
17but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
18because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
19And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,
20for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
21for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,
22and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;
23him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me — immediately;
24and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.
25And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus — my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need — to send unto you,
26seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,
27for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.
28The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;
29receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,
30because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.

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.
