腓2

腓立比書-Philippians 第 2 章

2:1	所以在基督裏若有什麼鼓勵，若有什麼愛的安慰，若有什麼靈的交通，若有什麼慈心、憐恤， If there is therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tenderheartedness and compassions,
2:2	你們就要使我的喜樂滿足，就是要思念相同的事，有相同的愛，魂裏聯結，思念同一件事， Make my joy full, that you think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking the one thing,
2:3	凡事都不私圖好爭，也不貪圖虛榮，隻要心思卑微，各人看別人比自己強； Doing nothing by way of selfish ambition nor by way of vainglory, but in lowliness of mind considering one another more excellent than yourselves;
2:4	各人不單看重自己的長處，也看重別人的。 Not regarding each his own virtues, but each the virtues of others also.
2:5	你們裏麵要思念基督耶穌裏麵所思念的： Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,
2:6	祂本有神的形狀，不以自己與神同等為強奪之珍，緊持不放， Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped,
2:7	反而倒空自己，取了奴仆的形狀，成為人的樣式； But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men;
2:8	既顯為人的樣子，就降卑自己，順從至死，且死在十字架上。 And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross.
2:9	所以神將祂升為至高，又賜給祂那超乎萬名之上的名， Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
2:10	叫天上的、地上的和地底下的，在耶穌的名裏，萬膝都要跪拜， That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
2:11	萬口都要公開承認耶穌基督為主，使榮耀歸與父神。 And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
2:12	這樣，我親愛的，你們既是常順從的，不但我與你們同在的時候，就是我如今不在的時候，更是順從的，就當恐懼戰兢，作成你們自己的救恩， So then, my beloved, even as you 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;
2:13	因為乃是神為著祂的美意，在你們裏麵運行，使你們立誌並行事。 For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for His good pleasure.
2:14	凡所行的，都不要發怨言，起爭論， Do all things without murmurings and reasonings
2:15	使你們無可指摘、純潔無雜，在彎曲悖謬的世代中，作神無瑕疵的兒女；你們在其中好像發光之體顯在世界裏， That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world,
2:16	將生命的話表明出來，叫我在基督的日子，好誇我沒有空跑，也沒有徒勞。 Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
2:17	然而，即使我成為奠祭，澆奠在你們信心的祭物和供奉上，也是喜樂，並且與你們眾人一同喜樂。 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with you all.
2:18	你們也要同樣喜樂，並且與我一同喜樂。 And in like manner you also rejoice, and you rejoice together with me.
2:19	我在主耶穌裏，盼望快打發提摩太到你們那裏去，叫我知道關於你們的事，也可魂中快慰。 But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged by knowing the things concerning you.
2:20	因我沒有人與我同魂，真正關心你們的事， For I have no one like-souled who will genuinely care for what concerns you;
2:21	因為眾人都尋求自己的事，並不尋求基督耶穌的事。 For all seek their own things, not the things of Christ Jesus.
2:22	但你們知道提摩太蒙稱許的明證，他為著福音與我一同事奉，像兒子待父親一樣。 But you know his approvedness, that as a child with a father he has served with me unto the gospel.
2:23	所以我一旦看出我的事要怎樣了結，就盼望立刻打發他去； Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me.
2:24	但我在主裏深信，我自己也必快去。 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
2:25	然而，我認為必須打發以巴弗提到你們那裏去，他是我的弟兄、同工、並一同當兵的，也是你們的使徒，和供應我需用的供奉者。 But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your apostle and minister to my need,
2:26	他很想念你們眾人，並且極其難過，因你們聽見他病了， Since he longed after you all and was greatly distressed because you heard that he had become sick;
2:27	他實在是病了，幾乎要死；然而神憐憫他，不但憐憫他，也憐憫我，免得我憂上加憂。 For indeed he had become sick, near to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
2:28	所以我越發急切打發他去，叫你們再見到他，就可以喜樂，我也可以少些憂愁。 I have sent him therefore the more eagerly, so that when you see him again, you may rejoice and I may be less sorrowful.
2:29	因此你們要在主裏歡歡喜喜的接待他，並且要尊重這樣的人， Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
2:30	因他為基督的工作，冒著性命的危險，幾乎至死，要補足你們在供奉我的事上所有的短缺。 Because for the work of Christ he drew near unto death, risking his life, that he might fill up your lack of service toward me.
