Coptic New Testament
1If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,

5Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

6who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,

7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.

8And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

9Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,

11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12So 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.

17Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

18In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

22But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.

23Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,

27For 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.

28I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
