1If [there be] therefore any consolation in Moshiach [Messiah], if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit [Ruach], if any bowels (inward parts; affections) and mercies, 2Fulfill you^2f my joy, that you^2f be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind. 3[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]: 6Who, being in the form of God-The Father, thought it not robbery to be equal with God-The Father: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a slave, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the stake (cross). 9For what reason God-The Father also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Yeshua [God is Salvation]every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth; 11And [that] every tongue should confess that Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [is] Lord - Kurios, to the glory of God-The Father the Father.

12For what reason, my beloved, as you^2f have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God-The Father which works in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

14Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15That you^2f may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God-The Father, without rebuke (reprimand; strongly warn; restrain), in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom you^2f shine as lights in the world; 16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Moshiach [Messiah], that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17Yes, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 18For the same cause also do you^2f joy, and rejoice with me.

19But I trust in the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation]to send Timothy [honoring God] shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. 20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 21For all seek their own, not the things which are Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]'s. 22But you^2f know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he has served with me in the Gospel (joyful message). 23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. 24But I trust in the Lord - Kurios that I also myself shall come shortly. 25Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus [lovely], my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 26For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that you^2f had heard that he had been sick. 27For indeed he was sick near unto death: but God-The Father had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when you^2f see him again, you^2f may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 29Receive him therefore in the Lord - Kurios with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: 30Because for the work of Moshiach [Messiah] he was near unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
