Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death– even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed– not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence– continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
所以在基督里若有什么劝勉，爱心有什么安慰，圣灵有什么交通，心中有什么慈悲怜悯，你们就要意念相同，爱心相同，有一样的心思，有一样的意念，使我的喜乐可以满足。 凡事不可结党，不可贪图虚浮的荣耀。只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。 各人不要单顾自己的事，也要顾别人的事。你们当以基督耶稣的心为心。 他本有神的形像，不以自己与神同等为强夺的。 反倒虚己，取了奴仆的形像，成为人的样式。 既有人的样子，就自己卑微，存心顺服，以至于死，且死在十字架上。 所以神将他升为至高，又赐给他那超乎万名之上的名， 叫一切在天上的，地上的，和地底下的，因耶稣的名，无不屈膝， 无不口称耶稣基督为主，使荣耀归与父神。 这样看来，我亲爱的弟兄你们既是常顺服的，不但我在你们那里，就是我如今不在你们那里，更是顺服的，就当恐惧战兢，作成你们得救的工夫。 因为你们立志行事，都是神在你们心里运行，为要成就他的美意。 凡所行的，都不要发怨言，起争论， 使你们无可指摘，诚实无伪，在这弯曲悖谬的世代，作神无瑕疵的儿女。你们显在这世代中，好像明光照耀， 将生命的道表明出来，叫我在基督的日子，好夸我没有空跑，也没有徒劳。 我以你们的信心为供献的祭物。我若被浇奠在其上，也是喜乐，并且与你们众人一同喜乐。你们也要照样喜乐，并且与我一同喜乐。
