Phl2:1 Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing [if any entrails of mercy doing],
Phl2:2 fill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing; [fulfill ye my joy, that ye understand the same thing, having the same charity, of one will, feeling the same thing;]
Phl2:3 nothing by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher than himself; [ a ]
Phl2:4 not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men. [not each by themselves beholding what things be their own, but those things that be of others.]
Phl2:5 And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;
Phl2:6 which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God; [which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God;]
Phl2:7 but he lowed himself [but he meeked himself], taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,
Phl2:8 and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death [ b ] , yea, to the death of the cross.
Phl2:9 For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name; [For which thing and God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all names;]
Phl2:10 that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell's;
Phl2:11 and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
Phl2:12 Therefore, my most dear-worthy brethren [my most dear-worthy], as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.
Phl2:13 For it is God that worketh in you, both to will [both to desire], and to perform, for good will.
Phl2:14 And do ye all things without grumblings and doubtings; [Forsooth do ye all things without grutchings and doubtings;]
Phl2:15 that ye be without plaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a depraved nation [in the middle of a shrewd nation] and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world [among whom ye shine as givers of light in the world;].
Phl2:16 And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain. [holding together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither in vain travailed.]
Phl2:17 But though I be offered, or slain , on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all. [But and if I be offered, or slain , upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and together thank you all.]
Phl2:18 And for the same thing have ye joy, and thank ye me. [The same thing forsooth and ye have joy, and together thank me.]
Phl2:19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you [Forsooth I hope in the Lord Jesus, me to send Timothy soon to you], that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.
Phl2:20 For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.
Phl2:21 For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.
Phl2:22 But know ye the assay of him [Forsooth know ye the experiment, or assay , of him], for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.
Phl2:23 Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, at once as I see what things be about me. [Forsooth I hope me to send him to you, anon as I shall see what things be about me.]
Phl2:24 And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.
Phl2:25 And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.
Phl2:26 For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.
Phl2:27 For he was sick [till] to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness [lest I had heaviness upon heaviness].
Phl2:28 Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.
Phl2:29 Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.
Phl2:30 For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service. [For why for the work of Christ unto the death he went, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed to you with my service.]
