Philippians 2

1 Therefore if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

1 所以，你们如果在基督里受到鼓励，得到爱的安慰，与圣灵相通，有慈悲和怜悯之心，

2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose.

2 就要同心合意，彼此相爱，灵里合一，思想一致，好让我的喜乐满溢。

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

3 凡事不可自私自利、爱慕虚荣，要心存谦卑，看别人比自己强。

4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

4 各人不要只顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

5 你们应当有基督耶稣那样的心意。

6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

6 祂虽然本质上是上帝， 却不紧抓与上帝同等之位，

7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.

7 反而甘愿放下一切， 取了奴仆的形象， 降生为人的样子。

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross.

8 祂以人的样子出现后， 就自愿卑微，顺服至死， 而且死在十字架上。

9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

9 因此，上帝将祂升为至尊， 赐给祂超乎万名之上的名，

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

10 使一切天上的、 地上的和地底下的， 无不屈膝跪拜在耶稣的名下，

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

11 无不口称耶稣基督是主， 将荣耀归于父上帝。

12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

12 所以，我亲爱的弟兄姊妹，你们一向都很顺服，不只是当着我的面时才顺服，我不在时你们更加顺服，要战战兢兢地活出你们的救恩。

13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

13 因为你们立志和行事都是上帝在你们心中工作，为要成就祂美好的旨意。

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,

14 无论做什么事，都不要抱怨，也不要与人争论，

15 so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

15 好使你们在这个扭曲乖谬的时代中清白无过，做上帝纯洁无瑕的儿女， 如同明光照耀在世上，

16 as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

16 坚守生命之道。这样，到了基督再来的时候，我可以夸口自己没有空跑一场，也没有白费功夫。

17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.

17 你们的信心就是献给上帝的祭物，即使在上面浇奠我的生命，我也很喜乐，并且和大家一同喜乐。

18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.

18 同样，你们也要喜乐，要和我一同喜乐。

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

19 靠着主耶稣，我希望尽快派提摩太去你们那里，好知道你们的近况，使我也感到欣慰。

20 I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs.

20 因为没有人像他那样跟我一同真正关心你们的事。

21 For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

21 别人都只顾自己的事，不顾耶稣基督的事。

22 But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel.

22 但你们知道提摩太的为人，他与我在福音事工上一起服侍，情同父子。

23 So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me.

23 所以，我的案子一旦明朗了，我会立刻派他去见你们。

24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.

24 我靠主深信自己很快也会去你们那里。

25 But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs.

25 另外，我觉得有必要让以巴弗提回到你们那里。他是我的弟兄、同工和战友，也是你们差遣来服侍我、供应我需用的。

26 For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill.

26 他很想念你们各位，并且感到不安，因为你们听说了他患病的事。

27 He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.

27 他确实病了，几乎丧命，但上帝怜悯了他，不但怜悯他，也怜悯了我，没让我忧上加忧。

28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.

28 所以，我想尽快派他回去与你们相聚，好让你们喜乐，也可以减少我的挂虑。

29 Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him,

29 你们要在主里欢欢喜喜地接待他，而且要敬重像他这样的人，

30 because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.

30 因为他冒着生命危险弥补你们服侍我的不足之处，为了基督的工作几乎丧命。
