| 2:1 | If there bee therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels, & mercies; |
| 2:2 | Fulfill ye my ioy, that yee be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accord, of one minde. |
| 2:3 | Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues. |
| 2:4 | Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of others. |
| 2:5 | Let this minde bee in you, which was also in Christ Iesus: |
| 2:6 | Who being in the forme of God, thought it not robbery to bee equall with God: |
| 2:7 | But made himselfe of no reputation, and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant, and was made in the likenesse of men. |
| 2:8 | And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto death, euen the death of the Crosse. |
| 2:9 | Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name which is aboue euery name: |
| 2:10 | That at the Name of Iesus euery knee should bow, of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth: |
| 2:11 | And that euery tongue should confesse, that Iesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
| 2:12 | Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence onely, but now much more in my absence; worke out your owne saluation with feare, and trembling. |
| 2:13 | For it is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to doe, of his good pleasure. |
| 2:14 | Doe all things without murmurings, and disputings: |
| 2:15 | That yee may bee blamelesse and harmelesse, the sonnes of God, without rebuke, in the middes of a crooked and peruerse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world: |
| 2:16 | Holding foorth the word of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither laboured in vaine. |
| 2:17 | Yea, and if I bee offered vpon the sacrifice and seruice of your faith, I ioy, and reioyce with you all. |
| 2:18 | For the same cause also doe ye ioy, and reioyce with me. |
| 2:19 | But I trust in the Lord Iesus, to send Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may bee of good comfort, when I know your state. |
| 2:20 | For I haue no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state. |
| 2:21 | For all seeke their owne, not the things which are Iesus Christs. |
| 2:22 | But ye know the proofe of him, That as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me, in the Gospel. |
| 2:23 | Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soone as I shall see how it wil goe with me. |
| 2:24 | But I trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly. |
| 2:25 | Yet I supposed it necessary, to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and companion in labour, and fellow souldiour, but your messenger, and hee that ministred to my wants. |
| 2:26 | For hee longed after you all, and was full of heauinesse, because that yee had heard that he had bene sicke. |
| 2:27 | For indeed he was sicke nigh vnto death, but God had mercy on him: and not on him onely, but on mee also, lest I should haue sorow vpon sorow. |
| 2:28 | I sent him therefore the more carefully, that when ye see him againe, ye may reioyce, and that I may bee the lesse sorrowfull. |
| 2:29 | Receiue him therfore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and hold such in reputation: |
| 2:30 | Because for the worke of Christ he was nigh vnto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lacke of seruice toward me. |
| 2:1 | Yf there be amonge you eny consolacion in Christ, yf there be eny comforte of loue, yf there be eny fellishippe off the sprete, yf there be eny compassion and mercy, |
| 2:2 | fulfyll my ioye, that ye drawe one waye, hauynge one loue, beynge of one accorde, and of one mynde: |
| 2:3 | that there be nothinge done thorow stryfe and vayne glory, but that thorow mekenesse of mynde euery man esteme another better then himselfe: |
| 2:4 | and let euery ma loke not for his awne profet, but for the profet of other. |
| 2:5 | Let the same mynde be in you, that was in Christ Iesu: |
| 2:6 | which beyinge in the shappe of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God, |
| 2:7 | but made him selfe of no reputacion, and toke vpon him the shappe of a seruaunt, became like another man, |
| 2:8 | and was founde in his apparell as a man: he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen vnto the death of the crosse. |
| 2:9 | Therfore hath God also exalted him, and geuen him a name, which is aboue all names, |
| 2:10 | that in the name of Iesus euery kne shulde bowe, both of thinges in heauen of thinges vpo earth, and of thinges vnder the earth, |
| 2:11 | and that all tunges shulde confesse, that Iesus Christ is the LORDE vnto the prayse of God the father. |
| 2:12 | Wherfore my dearly beloued, as ye haue allwayes obeyed (not onely in my presence, but now also moch more in my absence) euen so worke out youre awne saluacion with feare and tremblynge. |
| 2:13 | For it is God which worketh in you both the wyll and the deed, euen of his owne good wyll. |
| 2:14 | Do all thinges without murmurynges and disputinges, |
| 2:15 | that ye maye be fautles and pure, and the childre of God without rebuke, in the myddes of ye croked and peruerse nacion, amonge whom se that ye shyne as lightes in the worlde, |
| 2:16 | holdinge fast the worde of life, vnto my reioysinge in the daye of Christ, that I haue not runne in vayne, nether laboured in vayne. |
| 2:17 | Yee and though I be offred vp vpo the offerynge & sacrifice of youre faith, I am glad, and reioyce with you all: |
| 2:18 | be ye glad also, and reioyce ye with me. |
| 2:19 | I trust in the LORDE Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also maye be of good comforte, whan I knowe what case ye stonde in. |
| 2:20 | For I haue no man that is so like mynded to me, which with so pure affeccio careth for you: |
| 2:21 | for all other seke their awne, not that which is Iesus Christes. |
| 2:22 | But ye knowe the profe of him: for as a childe vnto the father, so hath he mynistred vnto me in the Gospell. |
| 2:23 | Him I hope to sende, as soone as I knowe how it wyll go with me. |
| 2:24 | But I trust in the LORDE, that I also my selfe shal come shortly. |
| 2:25 | Neuertheles I thoughte it necessary to sende vnto you the brother Ephraditus, which is my companyon in laboure and felowe soudyer, and youre Apostell, and my mynister at my nede, |
| 2:26 | for so moch as he longed after you all, and was full of heuynes, because ye had herde that he was sicke. |
| 2:27 | And no doute he was sicke, and that nye vnto death: but God had mercy on him, and not on him onely, but on me also, lest I shulde haue had sorowe vpon sorowe. |
| 2:28 | I haue sent him therfore the more haistely, that ye mighte se him, and reioyce agayne, and that I also mighte haue the lesse sorowe. |
| 2:29 | Receaue him therfore in the LORDE with all gladnes, and make moch of soche: |
| 2:30 | for because of the worke of Christ, he wente so farre, that he came nye vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfyll that seruyce which was lackynge on youre parte towarde me. |
| 2:1 | Therfor if ony coumfort is in Crist, if ony solace of charite, if ony felouschipe of spirit, if ony inwardnesse of merci doyng, |
| 2:2 | fille ye my ioye, that ye vndurstonde the same thing, and haue the same charite, of o wille, and feelen the same thing; |
| 2:3 | no thing bi strijf, nether by veyn glorie, but in mekenesse, demynge eche othere to be heiyer than hym silf; |
| 2:4 | not biholdinge ech bi hym silf what thingis ben his owne, but tho thingis that ben of othere men. |
| 2:5 | And fele ye this thing in you, which also in Crist Jhesu; |
| 2:6 | that whanne he was in the forme of God, demyde not raueyn, that hym silf were euene to God; |
| 2:7 | but he lowide hym silf, takinge the forme of a seruaunt, and was maad in to the licknesse of men, and in abite was foundun as a man. |
| 2:8 | He mekide hym silf, and was maad obedient to the deth, yhe, to the deth of the cross. |
| 2:9 | For which thing God enhaunside hym, and yaf to hym a name that is aboue al name; |
| 2:10 | that in the name of Jhesu ech kne be bowid, of heuenli thingis, of ertheli thingis, and of hellis; |
| 2:11 | and ech tunge knouleche, that the Lord Jhesu Crist is in the glorie of God the fadir. |
| 2:12 | Therfor, my most dereworthe britheren, as euere more ye han obeischid, not in my presence onely, but myche more now in myn absence, worche ye with drede and trembling youre heelthe. |
| 2:13 | For it is God that worchith in you, bothe to wilne, and to performe, for good wille. |
| 2:14 | And do ye alle thingis with out grutchingis and doutyngis; |
| 2:15 | that ye be with out playnt, and symple as the sones of God, with out repreef, in the myddil of a schrewid nacioun and a weiward; among whiche ye schynen as yyueris of liyt in the world. |
| 2:16 | And holde ye togidere the word of lijf to my glorie in the day of Crist; for Y haue not runnen in veyn, nether Y haue trauelid in veyn. |
| 2:17 | But thouy Y be offrid or slayn on the sacrifice and seruyce of youre feith, Y haue ioye, and Y thanke you alle. |
| 2:18 | And the same thing haue ye ioye, and thanke ye me. |
| 2:19 | And Y hope in the Lord Jhesu, that Y schal sende Tymothe soone to you, that Y be of good coumfort, whanne tho thingis ben knowun that ben aboute you. |
| 2:20 | For Y haue no man so of o wille, that is bisi for you with clene affeccioun. |
| 2:21 | For alle men seken tho thingis that ben her owne, not tho that ben of Crist Jhesu. |
| 2:22 | But knowe ye the asaie of hym, for as a sone to the fadir he hath seruyd with me in the gospel. |
| 2:23 | Therfor Y hope that Y schal sende hym to you, anoon as Y se what thingis ben aboute me. |
| 2:24 | And Y triste in the Lord, that also my silf schal come to you soone. |
| 2:25 | And Y gesside it nedeful to sende to you Epafrodite, my brother and euene worchere, and myn euene knyyt, but youre apostle, and the mynystre of my nede. |
| 2:26 | For he desiride you alle, and he was sorewful, therfor that ye herden that he was sijk. |
| 2:27 | For he was sijk to the deth, but God hadde merci on him; and not oneli on hym, but also on me, lest Y hadde heuynesse on heuynesse. |
| 2:28 | Therfor more hastili Y sente hym, that whanne ye han seyn hym, ye haue ioye eft, and Y be withouten heuynesse. |
| 2:29 | Therfor resseyue ye hym with al ioye in the Lord, and haue ye suche with al onour. |
| 2:30 | For the werk of Crist he wente to deth, yyuynge his lijf, that he schulde fulfille that that failide of you anentis my seruyce. |
