Filipenses 2
La Biblia de las Américas
Humillación y exaltación de Cristo
2 Por tanto, si hay algún estímulo en Cristo, si hay algún consuelo de amor, si hay alguna comunión del Espíritu(A), si algún afecto[a] y compasión(B), 2 haced completo mi gozo(C), siendo[b] del mismo sentir(D), conservando el mismo amor, unidos en espíritu, dedicados a un mismo propósito. 3 Nada hagáis por egoísmo[c](E) o por vanagloria(F), sino que con actitud humilde cada uno de vosotros considere al otro como más importante que a sí mismo(G), 4 no buscando cada uno sus propios intereses, sino más bien los intereses de los demás(H). 5 Haya, pues, en[d] vosotros esta actitud[e] que hubo también en Cristo Jesús(I), 6 el cual, aunque existía en forma de Dios(J), no consideró el ser igual a Dios(K) como algo a qué aferrarse, 7 sino que se despojó a sí mismo[f](L) tomando forma de siervo(M), haciéndose[g] semejante a los hombres(N). 8 Y hallándose en forma de hombre, se humilló a sí mismo(O), haciéndose obediente hasta la muerte(P), y muerte de cruz(Q). 9 Por lo cual Dios también le exaltó(R) hasta lo sumo, y le confirió el nombre que es sobre todo nombre(S), 10 para que al[h] nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla(T) de los que están en el cielo, y en la tierra(U), y debajo de la tierra, 11 y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es Señor(V), para gloria de Dios Padre.
Exhortación a la obediencia
12 Así que, amados míos, tal como siempre habéis obedecido(W), no solo en[i] mi presencia, sino ahora mucho más en mi ausencia, ocupaos en vuestra salvación(X) con temor y temblor(Y); 13 porque Dios es quien obra en vosotros(Z) tanto el querer como el hacer, para[j] su beneplácito(AA). 14 Haced todas las cosas sin murmuraciones(AB) ni discusiones, 15 para que seáis irreprensibles y sencillos, hijos de Dios(AC) sin tacha(AD) en medio de una generación torcida y perversa[k](AE), en medio de la cual resplandecéis como luminares[l] en el mundo(AF), 16 sosteniendo firmemente la palabra de vida, a fin de que yo tenga motivo para gloriarme en el día de Cristo(AG), ya que no habré corrido en vano(AH) ni habré trabajado en vano(AI). 17 Pero aunque yo sea derramado como libación(AJ) sobre el sacrificio(AK) y servicio de vuestra fe, me regocijo y comparto mi gozo con todos vosotros. 18 Y también vosotros, os ruego, regocijaos de la misma manera, y compartid vuestro gozo conmigo.
Timoteo y Epafrodito, soldados fieles
19 Mas espero en[m] el Señor Jesús enviaros pronto a Timoteo(AL), a fin de que yo también sea alentado al saber de vuestra condición. 20 Pues a nadie más tengo del mismo sentir mío(AM) y que esté sinceramente interesado en vuestro bienestar. 21 Porque todos buscan sus propios intereses(AN), no los de Cristo Jesús. 22 Pero vosotros conocéis sus probados méritos(AO), que sirvió conmigo en la propagación del evangelio(AP) como un hijo(AQ) sirve a su padre. 23 Por tanto, a este espero enviarlo inmediatamente(AR) tan pronto vea cómo van las cosas conmigo; 24 y confío en el Señor(AS) que también yo mismo iré pronto. 25 Pero creí necesario enviaros a Epafrodito(AT), mi hermano, colaborador(AU) y compañero de milicia(AV), quien también es vuestro mensajero[n](AW) y servidor[o] para mis necesidades(AX); 26 porque él os añoraba[p] a todos vosotros, y estaba angustiado porque habíais oído que se había enfermado. 27 Pues en verdad estuvo enfermo, a punto de morir; pero Dios tuvo misericordia de él, y no solo de él, sino también de mí, para que yo no tuviera tristeza sobre tristeza. 28 Así que lo he enviado con mayor solicitud, para que al verlo de nuevo, os regocijéis y yo esté más tranquilo en cuanto a vosotros. 29 Recibidlo, pues, en el Señor(AY) con todo gozo, y tened en alta estima a los que son como él(AZ); 30 porque estuvo al borde de la muerte por la obra de Cristo(BA), arriesgando su vida para completar lo que faltaba en vuestro servicio hacia mí(BB).

New King James Version
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.
