Ang Halimbawa ni Cristo
2 Kaya nga, yamang mayroong kasiglahan ang buhay kay Cristo, mayroong kaaliwan ng pag-ibig, mayroong pakikiisa ng Espiritu Santo, at mayroong kagandahang-loob at malasakit para sa isa't isa, 2 lubusin ninyo ang aking kagalakan; magkaroon kayo ng iisang kaisipan, mabuklod kayo sa iisang pag-ibig, at magkaisa kayo sa puso't diwa. 3 Huwag kayong gumawa ng anuman dahil sa pansariling layunin o pagyayabang; sa halip, bilang tanda ng pagpapakumbaba, ituring ninyong higit ang iba kaysa inyong mga sarili. 4 Pagmalasakitan ninyo ang kapakanan ng iba, at hindi lamang ang sa inyong sarili. 5 Nawa'y magkaroon kayo ng kaisipan na tulad ng kay Cristo Jesus.
6 Kahit taglay niya ang kalikasan ng Diyos,
hindi niya ipinagpilitang manatiling kapantay ng Diyos.
7 Sa halip, kusa niyang binitawan ang pagiging kapantay ng Diyos,
at namuhay na isang alipin.
Ipinanganak siya bilang tao.
At nang siya'y maging tao,
8 nagpakumbaba siya at naging masunurin hanggang kamatayan,
maging ito man ay kamatayan sa krus.
9 Dahil dito, siya'y lubusang itinaas ng Diyos,
at binigyan ng pangalang higit sa lahat ng pangalan.
10 Sa(A) gayon, sa pangalan ni Jesus
ay luluhod at magpupuri ang lahat
ng nasa langit, nasa lupa, at nasa ilalim ng lupa.[a]
11 At ang lahat ay magpapahayag na si Jesu-Cristo ay Panginoon,
sa ikaluluwalhati ng Diyos Ama.
Maging Ulirang Anak ng Diyos
12 Kaya nga, mga minamahal, tulad ng inyong buong-pusong pagsunod noong ako'y kasama pa ninyo, lalo kayong maging masunurin ngayong ako'y malayo sa inyo. Pagsumikapan ninyong maging ganap ang inyong kaligtasan nang may lubusang paggalang at pag-ibig sa Diyos, 13 sapagkat ang Diyos ang kumikilos sa inyo upang inyong naisin at isagawa ang kanyang kalooban.
14 Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng bagay nang walang reklamo at pagtatalo, 15 upang(B) kayo'y maging mga ulirang anak ng Diyos, matuwid at walang kapintasan sa gitna ng sanlibutang baluktot at masama. Sa gayon, magsisilbi kayong mga ilaw sa kanila, tulad ng mga bituing nagniningning sa kalangitan, 16 habang ipinapahayag ninyo ang salitang nagbibigay-buhay. Sa gayon, sa Araw ni Cristo ay maipagmamalaki kong hindi nawalan ng kabuluhan ang mga hirap at pagod ko sa inyo.
17 Kung ang buhay ko ma'y ibuhos bilang handog para sa inyong paglilingkod at pananampalataya sa Diyos, ako'y natutuwa at ang puso ko'y nakikigalak sa inyo. 18 Kaya magalak din kayo at bahaginan ninyo ako ng inyong kagalakan.
Sina Timoteo at Epafrodito
19 Umaasa ako sa Panginoong Jesus na mapapapunta ko agad riyan si Timoteo upang mapanatag ang aking loob kapag aking malaman mula sa kanya ang inyong kalagayan. 20 Wala nang hihigit sa kanya sa pakikiisa sa aking damdamin at pagmamalasakit para sa inyong kapakanan. 21 Ang inaatupag lamang ng iba ay ang sarili nilang kapakanan at hindi ang kay Jesu-Cristo. 22 Kayo na rin ang nakakaalam sa katapatan ni Timoteo. Kasama ko siya sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita. Tinulungan niya ako tulad ng pagtulong ng isang anak sa kanyang ama. 23 Kaya, binabalak kong papuntahin siya riyan pagkatapos kong matiyak ang magiging kalagayan ko rito. 24 Subalit ako'y umaasa, sa tulong ng Panginoon, na ako rin ay makakapunta riyan sa lalong madaling panahon.
25 Inisip kong kailangan nang papuntahin diyan ang ating kapatid na si Epafrodito, na aking kamanggagawa at kapwa kawal ng Diyos na isinugo ninyo upang magdala ng inyong kaloob, at upang makatulong sa akin. 26 Sabik na sabik na siya sa inyong lahat.[b] Nag-aalala siya dahil nabalitaan ninyong nagkasakit siya. 27 Totoong siya'y nagkasakit at muntik nang mamatay. Subalit kinahabagan siya ng Diyos, at hindi lamang siya kundi pati ako, upang huwag nang madagdagan pa ang aking kalungkutan.
28 Kaya nga, nais kong makapunta na siya riyan sapagkat alam kong matutuwa kayong makita siyang muli. Sa gayon, mawawala na ang aking kalungkutan. 29 Kaya, tanggapin ninyo siya nang buong galak bilang isang tunay na lingkod ng Panginoon. Igalang ninyo ang mga taong tulad niya. 30 Sapagkat muntik na siyang namatay alang-alang sa gawain para kay Cristo; itinaya niya ang kanyang buhay sa paglilingkod sa akin upang mapunuan ang hindi ninyo kayang gampanan.

Unity Through Humility
2 Therefore if there is any [a]consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any (A)affection and mercy, 2 (B)fulfill my joy (C)by being like-minded, having the same love, being of (D)one accord, of one mind. 3 (E)Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but (F)in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 (G)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of (H)others.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5 (I)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, (J)being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, 7 (K)but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form (L)of a bondservant, and (M)coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and (N)became (O)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 (P)Therefore God also (Q)has highly exalted Him and (R)given Him the name which is above every name, 10 (S)that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and (T)that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Light Bearers
12 Therefore, my beloved, (U)as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, (V)work out your own salvation with (W)fear and trembling; 13 for (X)it is God who works in you both to will and to do (Y)for His good pleasure.
14 Do all things (Z)without [d]complaining and (AA)disputing,[e] 15 that you may become blameless and [f]harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as (AB)lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that (AC)I may rejoice in the day of Christ that (AD)I have not run in vain or labored in (AE)vain.
17 Yes, and if (AF)I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice (AG)and service of your faith, (AH)I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy Commended
19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send (AI)Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged when I know your [g]state. 20 For I have no one (AJ)like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state. 21 For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus. 22 But you know his proven character, (AK)that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel. 23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me. 24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
Epaphroditus Praised
25 Yet I considered it necessary to send to you (AL)Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and (AM)fellow soldier, (AN)but your messenger and (AO)the one who ministered to my need; 26 (AP)since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. 27 For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful. 29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem; 30 because for the work of Christ he came close to death, [h]not regarding his life, (AQ)to supply what was lacking in your service toward me.

Christ's Example of Humility
2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from (A)love, any (B)participation in the Spirit, any (C)affection and sympathy, 2 (D)complete my joy by being (E)of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from (F)selfish ambition or (G)conceit, but in (H)humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you (I)look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 (J)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 (K)who, though he was in (L)the form of God, did not count equality with God (M)a thing to be grasped,[b] 7 but (N)emptied himself, by taking the form of a (O)servant,[c] (P)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by (Q)becoming obedient to the point of death, (R)even death on a cross. 9 (S)Therefore (T)God has (U)highly exalted him and bestowed on him (V)the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (W)every knee should bow, (X)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and (Y)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is (Z)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, (AA)as you have always (AB)obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for (AC)it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for (AD)his good pleasure.
14 Do all things (AE)without grumbling or (AF)disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, (AG)children of God (AH)without blemish (AI)in the midst of (AJ)a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine (AK)as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to (AL)the word of life, so that in (AM)the day of Christ (AN)I may be proud that (AO)I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be (AP)poured out as a drink offering upon (AQ)the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus (AR)to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one (AS)like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all (AT)seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's[d] (AU)proven worth, how (AV)as a son[e] with a father (AW)he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and (AX)I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.
25 I have thought it necessary to send to you (AY)Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and (AZ)fellow soldier, and your messenger and (BA)minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So (BB)receive him in the Lord with all joy, and (BC)honor such men, 30 for he nearly died[f] (BD)for the work of Christ, risking his life (BE)to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

Imitating Christ’s Humility
2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,(A) if any tenderness and compassion,(B) 2 then make my joy complete(C) by being like-minded,(D) having the same love, being one(E) in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(F) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(G) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(H)
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(I)
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(J)
did not consider equality with God(K) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(L)
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(M)
being made in human likeness.(N)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death(O)—
even death on a cross!(P)
9 Therefore God exalted him(Q) to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,(R)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(S)
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(T)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(U)
to the glory of God the Father.
Do Everything Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,(V) 13 for it is God who works in you(W) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.(X)
14 Do everything without grumbling(Y) or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless(Z) and pure, “children of God(AA) without fault in a warped and crooked generation.”[c](AB) Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky 16 as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ(AC) that I did not run(AD) or labor in vain.(AE) 17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering(AF) on the sacrifice(AG) and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.(AH) 18 So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy(AI) to you soon,(AJ) that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him,(AK) who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests,(AL) not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father(AM) he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.(AN) 24 And I am confident(AO) in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker(AP) and fellow soldier,(AQ) who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.(AR) 26 For he longs for all of you(AS) and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him,(AT) so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him,(AU) 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.(AV)
