WEB·Philippians 2

¹If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

KJVIf there be therefore^G3767 any^G1536 consolation^G3874 in^G1722 Christ^G5547, if any^G1536 comfort^G3890 of love^G26, if any^G1536 fellowship^G2842 of the Spirit^G4151, if any^G1536 bowels^G4698 and^G2532 mercies^G3628,

² make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

KJVFulfil ye^G4137^(G5657) my^G3450 joy^G5479, that^G2443 ye be likeminded^G846^G5426^(G5725), having^G2192^(G5723) the same^G846 love^G26, being of one accord^G4861, of one^G1520 mind^G5426^(G5723).

³ doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

KJVLet nothing^G3367 be done through^G2596 strife^G2052 or^G2228 vainglory^G2754; but^G235 in lowliness of mind^G5012 let^G2233 each^G240 esteem^G2233^(G5740) other^G240 better than^G5242^(G5723) themselves^G1438.

⁴ each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

KJVLook^G4648^(G5720) not^G3361 every man^G1538 on his own things^G1438, but^G235 every man^G1538 also^G2532 on the things^G3588 of others^G2087.

⁵ Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

KJV^G1063 Let^G5426 this^G5124 mind be^G5426^(G5744) in^G1722 you^G5213, which^G3739 was also^G2532 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424:

⁶ who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

KJVWho^G3739, being^G5225^(G5723) in^G1722 the form^G3444 of God^G2316, thought it^G2233^(G5662) not^G3756 robbery^G725 to be^G1511^(G5750) equal^G2470 with God^G2316:

⁷ but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

KJVBut^G235 made^G2758 himself^G1438 of no reputation^G2758^(G5656), and took upon him^G2983^(G5631) the form^G3444 of a servant^G1401, and was made^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 the likeness^G3667 of men^G444:

⁸ And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

KJVAnd^G2532 being found^G2147^(G5685) in fashion^G4976 as^G5613 a man^G444, he humbled^G5013^(G5656) himself^G1438, and became^G1096^(G5637) obedient^G5255 unto^G3360 death^G2288, even^G1161 the death^G2288 of the cross^G4716.

⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

KJVWherefore^G1352 God^G2316 also^G2532 hath highly exalted^G5251^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 given^G5483^(G5662) him^G846 a name^G3686 which^G3588 is above^G5228 every^G3956 name^G3686:

¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

KJVThat^G2443 at^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 every^G3956 knee^G1119 should bow^G2578^(G5661), of things in heaven^G2032, and^G2532 things in earth^G1919, and^G2532 things under the earth^G2709;

¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

KJVAnd^G2532 that every^G3956 tongue^G1100 should confess^G1843^(G5672) that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 is Lord^G2962, to^G1519 the glory^G1391 of God^G2316 the Father^G3962.

¹² So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

KJVWherefore^G5620, my^G3450 beloved^G27, as^G2531 ye have^G5219 always^G3842 obeyed^G5219^(G5656), not^G3361 as^G5613 in^G1722 my^G3450 presence^G3952 only^G3440, but^G235 now^G3568 much^G4183 more^G3123 in^G1722 my^G3450 absence^G666, work out^G2716^(G5737) your own^G1438 salvation^G4991 with^G3326 fear^G5401 and^G2532 trembling^G5156.

¹³ For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

KJVFor^G1063 it is^G2076^(G5748) God^G2316 which^G3588 worketh^G1754^(G5723) in^G1722 you^G5213 both^G2532 to will^G2309^(G5721) and^G2532 to do^G1754^(G5721) of^G5228 his good pleasure^G2107.

¹⁴ Do all things without complaining and arguing,

KJVDo^G4160^(G5720) all things^G3956 without^G5565 murmurings^G1112 and^G2532 disputings^G1261:

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

KJVThat^G2443 ye may be^G1096^(G5638) blameless^G273 and^G2532 harmless^G185, the sons^G5043 of God^G2316, without rebuke^G298, in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of a crooked^G4646 and^G2532 perverse^G1294^(G5772) nation^G1074, among^G1722 whom^G3739 ye shine^G5316^(G5743) as^G5613 lights^G5458 in^G1722 the world^G2889;

¹⁶ holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.

KJVHolding forth^G1907^(G5723) the word^G3056 of life^G2222; that^G1519 I^G1698 may rejoice^G2745 in^G1519 the day^G2250 of Christ^G5547, that^G3754 I have^G5143 not^G3756 run^G5143^(G5627) in^G1519 vain^G2756, neither^G3761 laboured^G2872^(G5656) in^G1519 vain^G2756.

¹⁷ Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

KJVYea^G235, and if^G1499 I be offered^G4689^(G5743) upon^G1909 the sacrifice^G2378 and^G2532 service^G3009 of your^G5216 faith^G4102, I joy^G5463^(G5719), and^G2532 rejoice with^G4796^(G5719) you^G5213 all^G3956.

¹⁸ In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

KJVFor^G1161 the same cause^G846 also^G2532 do^G5463 ye^G5210 joy^G5463^(G5720), and^G2532 rejoice with^G4796^(G5720) me^G3427.

¹⁹ But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.

KJVBut^G1161 I trust^G1679^(G5719) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 to send^G3992^(G5658) Timotheus^G5095 shortly^G5030 unto you^G5213, that^G2443 I also^G2504 may be of good comfort^G2174^(G5725), when I know^G1097^(G5631) your^G5216 state^G4012.

²⁰ For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

KJVFor^G1063 I have^G2192^(G5719) no man^G3762 likeminded^G2473, who^G3748 will naturally^G1104 care^G3309^(G5692) for your^G5216 state^G4012.

²¹ For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 all^G3956 seek^G2212^(G5719) their own^G1438, not^G3756 the things which are^G3588 Jesus^G2424 Christ's^G5547.

²² But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

KJVBut^G1161 ye know^G1097^(G5719) the proof^G1382 of him^G846, that^G3754, as^G5613 a son^G5043 with the father^G3962, he hath served^G1398^(G5656) with^G4862 me^G1698 in^G1519 the gospel^G2098.

²³ Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

KJVHim^G3303^G5126 therefore^G3767 I hope^G1679^(G5719) to send^G3992^(G5658) presently^G1824, so soon as^G5613 I^G302 shall see^G542^(G5632) how^G4012 it will go with me^G1691.

²⁴ But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.

KJVBut^G1161 I trust^G3982^(G5754) in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 that^G3754 I^G2064 also^G2532 myself^G846 shall come^G2064^(G5695) shortly^G5030.

²⁵ But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

KJVYet^G1161 I supposed^G2233^(G5662) it necessary^G316 to send^G3992^(G5658) to^G4314 you^G5209 Epaphroditus^G1891, my^G3450 brother^G80, and^G2532 companion in labour^G4904, and^G2532 fellowsoldier^G4961, but^G1161 your^G5216 messenger^G652, and^G2532 he that ministered^G3011 to my^G3450 wants^G5532.

²⁶ since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.

KJVFor^G1894 he^G2258^(G5713) longed after^G1971^(G5723) you^G5209 all^G3956, and^G2532 was full of heaviness^G85^(G5723), because^G1360 that ye had heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 he had been sick^G770^(G5656).

²⁷ For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.

KJVFor^G1063 indeed^G2532 he was sick^G770^(G5656) nigh^G3897 unto death^G2288: but^G235 God^G2316 had mercy^G1653^(G5656) on him^G846; and^G1161 not^G3756 on him^G846 only^G3440, but^G235 on me^G1691 also^G2532, lest^G3363 I should have^G2192^(G5632) sorrow^G3077 upon^G1909 sorrow^G3077.

²⁸ I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

KJVI sent^G3992^(G5656) him^G846 therefore^G3767 the more carefully^G4708, that^G2443, when ye see^G1492^(G5631) him^G846 again^G3825, ye may rejoice^G5463^(G5647), and that I^G2504 may be^G5600^(G5753) the less sorrowful^G253.

²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

KJVReceive^G4327^(G5737) him^G846 therefore^G3767 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 with^G3326 all^G3956 gladness^G5479; and^G2532 hold^G2192^(G5720) such^G5108 in reputation^G1784:

³⁰ because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

KJVBecause^G3754 for^G1223 the work^G2041 of Christ^G5547 he was nigh^G1448^(G5656) unto^G3360 death^G2288, not regarding^G3851^(G5666) his life^G5590, to^G2443 supply^G378^(G5661) your^G5216 lack^G5303 of service^G3009 toward^G4314 me^G3165.

WEB·Philippians 1

¹Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:

KJVPaul^G3972 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095, the servants^G1401 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, to all^G3956 the saints^G40 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 Jesus^G2424 which are^G5607^(G5752) at^G1722 Philippi^G5375, with^G4862 the bishops^G1985 and^G2532 deacons^G1249:

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVGrace^G5485 be unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962, and^G2532 from the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

³ I thank my God whenever I remember you,

KJVI thank^G2168^(G5719) my^G3450 God^G2316 upon^G1909 every^G3956 remembrance^G3417 of you^G5216,

⁴ always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,

KJVAlways^G3842 in^G1722 every^G3956 prayer^G1162 of mine^G3450 for^G5228 you^G5216 all^G3956 making^G4160^(G5734) request^G1162 with^G3326 joy^G5479,

⁵ for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;

KJVFor^G1909 your^G5216 fellowship^G2842 in^G1519 the gospel^G2098 from^G575 the first^G4413 day^G2250 until^G891 now^G3568;

⁶ being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

KJVBeing confident^G3982^(G5756) of this^G5124 very thing^G846, that^G3754 he which hath begun^G1728^(G5666) a good^G18 work^G2041 in^G1722 you^G5213 will perform^G2005^(G5692) it until^G891 the day^G2250 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

⁷ It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.

KJVEven as^G2531 it is^G2076^(G5748) meet^G1342 for me^G1698 to think^G5426^(G5721) this^G5124 of^G5228 you^G5216 all^G3956, because^G1223 I have^G2192^(G5721) you^G5209 in^G1722 my^G3165 heart^G2588; inasmuch as both^G5037 in^G1722 my^G3450 bonds^G1199, and^G2532 in the defence^G627 and^G2532 confirmation^G951 of the gospel^G2098, ye^G5209 all^G3956 are^G5607^(G5752) partakers^G4791 of my^G3450 grace^G5485.

⁸ For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.

KJVFor^G1063 God^G2316 is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 record^G3144, how^G5613 greatly I long after^G1971^(G5719) you^G5209 all^G3956 in^G1722 the bowels^G4698 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

⁹ This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

KJVAnd^G2532 this^G5124 I pray^G4336^(G5736), that^G2443 your^G5216 love^G26 may abound^G4052^(G5725) yet^G2089 more^G3123 and^G2532 more^G3123 in^G1722 knowledge^G1922 and^G2532 in all^G3956 judgment^G144;

¹⁰ so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,

KJVThat^G1519 ye^G5209 may approve^G1381^(G5721) things that are excellent^G1308^(G5723); that^G2443 ye may be^G5600^(G5753) sincere^G1506 and^G2532 without offence^G677 till^G1519 the day^G2250 of Christ^G5547;

¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

KJVBeing filled^G4137^(G5772) with the fruits^G2590 of righteousness^G1343, which^G3588 are by^G1223 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, unto^G1519 the glory^G1391 and^G2532 praise^G1868 of God^G2316.

¹² Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,

KJVBut^G1161 I would^G1014^(G5736) ye^G5209 should understand^G1097^(G5721), brethren^G80, that^G3754 the things which happened unto^G2596 me^G1691 have fallen out^G2064^(G5754) rather^G3123 unto^G1519 the furtherance^G4297 of the gospel^G2098;

¹³ so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,

KJVSo that^G5620 my^G3450 bonds^G1199 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 are^G1096^(G5635) manifest^G5318 in^G1722 all^G3650 the palace^G4232, and^G2532 in all^G3956 other^G3062 places;

¹⁴ and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.

KJVAnd^G2532 many^G4119 of the brethren^G80 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, waxing confident^G3982^(G5756) by my^G3450 bonds^G1199, are much more^G4056 bold^G5111^(G5721) to speak^G2980^(G5721) the word^G3056 without fear^G870.

¹⁵ Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.

KJVSome^G5100 indeed^G3303 preach^G2784^(G5719) Christ^G5547 even^G2532 of^G1223 envy^G5355 and^G2532 strife^G2054; and^G1161 some^G5100 also^G2532 of^G1223 good will^G2107:

¹⁶ The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;

KJVThe one^G3303 preach^G2605^(G5719) Christ^G5547 of^G1537 contention^G2052, not^G3756 sincerely^G55, supposing^G3633^(G5740) to add^G2018^(G5721) affliction^G2347 to my^G3450 bonds^G1199:

¹⁷ but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.

KJVBut^G1161 the other of^G1537 love^G26, knowing^G1492^(G5761) that^G3754 I am set^G2749^(G5736) for^G1519 the defence^G627 of the gospel^G2098.

¹⁸ What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.

KJVWhat^G5101 then^G1063? notwithstanding^G4133, every^G3956 way^G5158, whether^G1535 in pretence^G4392, or^G1535 in truth^G225, Christ^G5547 is preached^G2605^(G5743); and^G2532 I^G5463 therein^G1722^G5129 do rejoice^G5463^(G5719), yea^G235, and^G2532 will rejoice^G5463^(G5690).

¹⁹ For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,

KJVFor^G1063 I know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 this^G5124 shall turn^G576^(G5695) to^G1519 my^G3427 salvation^G4991 through^G1223 your^G5216 prayer^G1162, and^G2532 the supply^G2024 of the Spirit^G4151 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547,

²⁰ according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.

KJVAccording^G2596 to my^G3450 earnest expectation^G603 and^G2532 my hope^G1680, that^G3754 in^G1722 nothing^G3762 I shall be ashamed^G153^(G5701), but^G235 that with^G1722 all^G3956 boldness^G3954, as^G5613 always^G3842, so now^G3568 also^G2532 Christ^G5547 shall be magnified^G3170^(G5701) in^G1722 my^G3450 body^G4983, whether^G1535 it be by^G1223 life^G2222, or^G1535 by^G1223 death^G2288.

²¹ For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

KJVFor^G1063 to me^G1698 to live^G2198^(G5721) is Christ^G5547, and^G2532 to die^G599^(G5629) is gain^G2771.

²² But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 I live^G2198^(G5721) in^G1722 the flesh^G4561, this^G5124 is the fruit^G2590 of my labour^G2041^G3427: yet^G2532 what^G5101 I shall choose^G138^(G5698) I wot^G1107^(G5719) not^G3756.

²³ But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.

KJVFor^G1063 I am in a strait^G4912^(G5743) betwixt^G1537 two^G1417, having^G2192^(G5723) a desire^G1939 to^G1519 depart^G360^(G5658), and^G2532 to be^G1511^(G5750) with^G4862 Christ^G5547; which is far^G4183^G3123 better^G2908:

²⁴ Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
