Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
1Si qua ergo consolatio in Christo, si quod solatium caritatis, si qua societas spiritus, si qua viscera miserationis:
2Fulfill ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
2implete gaudium meum ut idem sapiatis, eamdem caritatem habentes, unanimes, idipsum sentientes,
3Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
3nihil per contentionem, neque per inanem gloriam: sed in humilitate superiores sibi invicem arbitrantes,
4Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men’s.
4non quæ sua sunt singuli considerantes, sed ea quæ aliorum.
5For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
5Hoc enim sentite in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu:
6Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
6qui cum in forma Dei esset, non rapinam arbitratus est esse se æqualem Deo:
7But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
7sed semetipsum exinanivit, formam servi accipiens, in similitudinem hominum factus, et habitu inventus ut homo.
8He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
8Humiliavit semetipsum factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.
9For which cause God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above all names:
9Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum, et donavit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen:
10That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth:
10ut in nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur cælestium, terrestrium et infernorum,
11And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
11et omnis lingua confiteatur, quia Dominus Jesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris.
12Wherefore, 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.
12Itaque carissimi mei (sicut semper obedistis), non ut in præsentia mei tantum, sed multo magis nunc in absentia mea, cum metu et tremore vestram salutem operamini.
13For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
13Deus est enim, qui operatur in vobis et velle, et perficere pro bona voluntate.
14And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations;
14Omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et hæsitationibus:
15That 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.
15ut sitis sine querela, et simplices filii Dei, sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravæ et perversæ: inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo,
16Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ, because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
16verbum vitæ continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi, quia non in vacuum cucurri, neque in vacuum laboravi.
17Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and congratulate with you all.
17Sed et si immolor supra sacrificium, et obsequium fidei vestræ, gaudeo, et congratulor omnibus vobis.
18And for the selfsame thing do you also rejoice, and congratulate with me.
18Idipsum autem et vos gaudete, et congratulamini mihi.
19And 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.
19Spero autem in Domino Jesu, Timotheum me cito mittere ad vos: ut et ego bono animo sim, cognitis quæ circa vos sunt.
20For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you.
20Neminem enim habeo tam unanimem, qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit.
21For all seek the things that are their own; not the things that are Jesus Christ’s.
21Omnes enim quæ sua sunt quærunt, non quæ sunt Jesu Christi.
22Now know ye the proof of him, that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel.
22Experimentum autem ejus cognoscite, quia sicut patri filius, mecum servivit in Evangelio.
23Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
23Hunc igitur spero me mittere ad vos, mox ut videro quæ circa me sunt.
24And I trust in the Lord, that I myself also shall come to you shortly.
24Confido autem in Domino quoniam et ipse veniam ad vos cito.
25But 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.
25Necessarium autem existimavi Epaphroditum fratrem, et cooperatorem, et commilitonem meum, vestrum autem apostolum, et ministrum necessitatis meæ, mittere ad vos:
26For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick.
26quoniam quidem omnes vos desiderabat: et mœstus erat, propterea quod audieratis illum infirmatum.
27For 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.
27Nam et infirmatus est usque ad mortem: sed Deus misertus est ejus: non solum autem ejus, verum etiam et mei, ne tristitiam super tristitiam haberem.
28Therefore I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.
28Festinantius ergo misi illum, ut viso eo iterum gaudeatis, et ego sine tristitia sim.
29Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord; and treat with honour such as he is.
29Excipite itaque illum cum omni gaudio in Domino, et ejusmodi cum honore habetote;
30Because 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.
30quoniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accessit, tradens animam suam ut impleret id quod ex vobis deerat erga meum obsequium.
