Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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,
1Si qua ergo consolatio in Christo, si quod solatium caritatis, si qua societas spiritus, si qua viscera miserationis:
2make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
2implete gaudium meum ut idem sapiatis, eamdem caritatem habentes, unanimes, idipsum sentientes,
3doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
3nihil per contentionem, neque per inanem gloriam: sed in humilitate superiores sibi invicem arbitrantes,
4each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
4non quæ sua sunt singuli considerantes, sed ea quæ aliorum.
5Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
5Hoc enim sentite in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu:
6who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
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.
7sed semetipsum exinanivit, formam servi accipiens, in similitudinem hominum factus, et habitu inventus ut homo.
8And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.
8Humiliavit semetipsum factus obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis.
9Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,
9Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum, et donavit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen:
10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
10ut in nomine Jesu omne genu flectatur cælestium, terrestrium et infernorum,
11and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
11et omnis lingua confiteatur, quia Dominus Jesus Christus in gloria est Dei Patris.
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.
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 works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
13Deus est enim, qui operatur in vobis et velle, et perficere pro bona voluntate.
14Do all things without complaining and arguing,
14Omnia autem facite sine murmurationibus et hæsitationibus:
15that 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,
15ut sitis sine querela, et simplices filii Dei, sine reprehensione in medio nationis pravæ et perversæ: inter quos lucetis sicut luminaria in mundo,
16holding 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.
16verbum vitæ continentes ad gloriam meam in die Christi, quia non in vacuum cucurri, neque in vacuum laboravi.
17Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
17Sed et si immolor supra sacrificium, et obsequium fidei vestræ, gaudeo, et congratulor omnibus vobis.
18In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
18Idipsum autem et vos gaudete, et congratulamini mihi.
19But 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.
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 one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
20Neminem enim habeo tam unanimem, qui sincera affectione pro vobis sollicitus sit.
21For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
21Omnes enim quæ sua sunt quærunt, non quæ sunt Jesu Christi.
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.
22Experimentum autem ejus cognoscite, quia sicut patri filius, mecum servivit in Evangelio.
23Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
23Hunc igitur spero me mittere ad vos, mox ut videro quæ circa me sunt.
24But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
24Confido autem in Domino quoniam et ipse veniam ad vos cito.
25But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need,
25Necessarium autem existimavi Epaphroditum fratrem, et cooperatorem, et commilitonem meum, vestrum autem apostolum, et ministrum necessitatis meæ, mittere ad vos:
26since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because 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 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.
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.
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.
28Festinantius ergo misi illum, ut viso eo iterum gaudeatis, et ego sine tristitia sim.
29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,
29Excipite itaque illum cum omni gaudio in Domino, et ejusmodi cum honore habetote;
30because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
30quoniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accessit, tradens animam suam ut impleret id quod ex vobis deerat erga meum obsequium.
