1 If then {there be} any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of {the} Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
2 fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
3 {let} nothing {be} in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
4 regarding not each his own {qualities}, but each those of others also.
5 For let this mind be in you which {was} also in Christ Jesus;
6 who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
7 but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in {the} likeness of men;
8 and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and {that the} death of {the} cross.
9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal {beings},
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ {is} Lord to God {the} Father's glory.
12 So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
13 for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to {his} good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
15 that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in {the} world,
16 holding forth {the} word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.
17 But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.
18 In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
19 But I hope in {the} Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
20 For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
21 For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
23 Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
24 but I trust in {the} Lord that I myself also shall soon come;
25 but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,
26 since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
27 for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
28 I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful.
29 Receive him therefore in {the} Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
30 because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.
1 所以， 你们在基督里若有什么劝勉， 有什么爱心的安慰， 有什么灵里的契通， 有什么慈悲和怜悯，
2 就应当有同样的思想， 同样的爱心， 要心志相同， 思想一致， 使我充满喜乐。
3 不要自私自利， 也不要贪图虚荣， 只要谦卑， 看别人比自己强；
4 各人不要单顾自己的事， 也要顾别人的事。
5 你们应当有这样的意念， 这也是基督耶稣的意念。（全节或译： "你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。"）
6 他本来有 神的形象， 却不坚持自己与 神平等的地位，
7 反而倒空自己， 取了奴仆的形象， 成为人的样式；
8 既然有人的样子， 就自甘卑微， 顺服至死， 而且死在十字架上。
9 因此 神把他升为至高， 并且赐给他超过万名之上的名。
10 使天上、地上和地底下的一切， 因着耶稣的名， 都要屈膝，
11 并且口里承认耶稣基督为主， 使荣耀归给父 神。
12 这样看来， 我所亲爱的， 你们素来是顺服的， （不但我在你们那里的时候是这样， 现今我不在， 你们更要顺服， ）就应当恐惧战兢地作成自己的救恩。
13 神为了成全自己的美意， 就在你们里面动工， 使你们可以立志和行事。
14 无论作什么， 都不要发怨言、起争论，
15 好使你们无可指摘、纯真无邪， 在这弯曲乖谬的世代中， 作 神没有瑕疵的儿女； 你们要在这世代中发光， 好像天上的光体一样，
16 把生命的道显扬出来， 使我在基督的日子可以夸耀我没有空跑， 也没有徒劳。
17 即使把我浇奠在你们信心的祭物和供奉上， 我也喜乐， 并且和你们大家一同喜乐。
18 照样， 你们也要喜乐， 并且要和我一同喜乐。
19 我靠着主耶稣， 希望不久就会差提摩太到你们那里去， 使我们知道你们的情况， 可以得到鼓励。
20 没有人与我同心， 真正关心你们的事，
21 因为大家只顾自己的事， 而不理耶稣基督的事。
22 不过， 提摩太的为人是你们知道的， 他和我一同为了福音服事主， 就像儿子跟父亲一样。
23 所以， 等我看出自己的事会怎样了结之后， 我希望立刻差他去；
24 而且靠着主， 我相信自己不久也会去。
25 然而我认为必须差以巴弗提到你们那里去， 他是我的弟兄， 与我一同作工一同作战的， 也是你们为我的需要差来服事我的。
26 他一直在想念你们众人， 并且因为你们听见他病了， 他就非常难过。
27 事实上他病得几乎要死， 然而 神怜悯了他； 不但怜悯他， 也怜悯我， 免得我忧上加忧。
28 所以， 我更急着差他去， 让你们再见到他， 就可以喜乐， 也可以减少我的挂虑。
29 因此， 你们要在主里欢欢喜喜地接待他， 也要尊重这样的人，
30 因他为了基督的工作， 冒着生命的危险， 差一点丧了命， 为的是要补满你们服事我不足的地方。
