If you have any encouragement from being
united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with 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 purpose.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in
humility consider others
better than yourselves.
Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but
also to the interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ
Jesus:
그러므로 그리스도
안에서 여러분에게 무슨 격려나, 사랑의 무슨 위로나,
성령의 무슨 교제나, 무슨 동정심과 자비가
있거든,
여러분은 같은 생각을 품고, 같은 사랑을 가지고, 뜻을 합하여 한 마음이 되어서, 내 기쁨이 넘치게 해 주십시오.
무슨 일을 하든지, 경쟁심이나 허영으로 하지 말고, 겸손한 마음으로 하고, 자기보다 서로 남을 낫게 여기십시오.
and every tongue confess 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 according
to his good purpose.
Do everything without complaining or arguing,
so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God
without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universe
I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that
I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
I have no one else like him, who takes a genuine interest
in your welfare.
생명의 말씀을 굳게
잡으십시오. 그리하면 내가 달음질한 것과 수고한 것이 헛되지 아니하여서, 그리스도의 날에 내가 자랑할 수 있을 것입니다.
그리고 여러분의 믿음의 제사와 예배에 나의 피를 붓는 일이 있을지라도, 나는 기뻐하고, 여러분 모두와 함께
기뻐하겠습니다.
여러분도 이와 같이 기뻐하고, 나와 함께 기뻐하십시오.
나는 주 예수 안에서 디모데를 여러분에게 곧 보내고 싶습니다. 그것은 나도 여러분의
형편을 앎으로써 격려를 받으려는 것입니다.
나에게는, 디모데와 같은 마음으로 진심으로 여러분의 형편을 염려하여 줄 사람이 아무도
없습니다.
For everyone looks out for his own interests, not those of
Jesus Christ.
But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a
son with his father he has
served with me in the work of the gospel.
I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things
go with me.
And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come
soon.
But I think it is necessary to send back to you
Epaphroditus, my brother,
fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to
take care of my needs.
