The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians

Douay-Rheims :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 2 -

(Ephesians 2:11–18)
1
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2
Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3
Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4
Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.

The Mind of Christ

(Isaiah 52:13–15)
5
For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6
Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7
But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8
He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
9
For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
10
That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
11
And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

Lights in the World

(Matthew 5:13–16)
12
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence,) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
13
For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
14
And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
15
That you may be blameless, and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation; among whom you shine as lights in the world.
16
Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
17
Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
18
And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

(1 Corinthians 16:10–12)
19
And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you.
20
For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
21
For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ’s.
22
Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
23
Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24
And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
25
But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer, and fellow soldier, but your apostle, and he that hath ministered to my wants.
26
For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
27
For indeed he was sick, nigh 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 speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
29
Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
30
Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfill that which on your part was wanting towards my service.
(Ephesians 2:11–18)
1
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
2
make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
3
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
4
each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

The Mind of Christ

(Isaiah 52:13–15)
5
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
6
who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
8
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
9
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Lights in the World

(Matthew 5:13–16)
12
So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
14
Do all things without complaining and arguing,
15
that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,
16
holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain.
17
Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
18
In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

(1 Corinthians 16:10–12)
19
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing.
20
For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
21
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
22
But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.
23
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
24
But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
25
But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
26
since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick.
27
For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
28
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
30
because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
