I know! συνέχομαι I am pressed δέ however ἐκ between τῶν the δύο, two, τήν the ἐπιθυμίαν desire ἔχων having εἰς for [myself] τό - ἀναλῦσαι to depart καί and σύν with Χριστῷ Christ εἶναι, to be, πολλῷ very much γάρ for μᾶλλον more κρεῖσσον· better; τό - δέ but ἐπιμένειν to remain ἐν in τῇ the σαρκί flesh ἀναγκαιότερον [is] more necessary δι ̓ for the sake of ὑμᾶς. you. Καί And τοῦτο this πεποιθώς having been persuaded of, οἶδα I know ὅτι that μενῶ I will remain καί and παραμενῶ will continue with πᾶσιν all ὑμῖν of you εἰς for τήν - ὑμῶν your προκοπήν progress καί and χαράν joy τῆς of the πίστεως, faith, ἵνα so that τό the καύχημα boasting ὑμῶν of you περισσεύῃ may abound ἐν to Χριστῷ Christ Ἰησοῦ Jesus ἐν in ἐμοί me διά through τῆς - ἐμῆς my παρουσίας coming πάλιν again πρός to ὑμᾶς. you.

Μόνον Only ἀξίως worthily τοῦ of the εὐαγγελίου gospel τοῦ - Χριστοῦ of Christ πολιτεύεσθε, conduct yourselves, ἵνα so that εἴτε whether ἐλθών having come καί and ἰδών having seen ὑμᾶς you, εἴτε or ἀπών being absent, ἀκούω I might hear τά the things περί concerning ὑμῶν, you, ὅτι that στήκετε you are standing firm ἐν in ἑνί one πνεύματι, spirit, μιᾷ with one ψυχῇ mind συναθλοῦντες striving together τῇ for the πίστει faith τοῦ of the εὐαγγελίου gospel, καί and μή not πτυρόμενοι being frightened ἐν in μηδενί nothing ὑπό by τῶν those ἀντικειμένων, opposing [you], ἥτις which ἐστίν is αὐτοῖς to them ἔνδειξις a demonstration ἀπωλείας, of destruction; ὑμῶν to you δέ however σωτηρίας, of salvation, καί and τοῦτο this ἀπό from Θεοῦ· God. ὅτι For ὑμῖν to you ἐχαρίσθη it has been granted τό - ὑπέρ concerning Χριστοῦ, Christ, οὐ not μόνον only τό - εἰς in αὐτόν Him πιστεύειν to believe, ἀλλά but καί also τό - ὑπέρ concerning αὐτοῦ Him πάσχειν, to suffer, τόν the αὐτόν same ἀγῶνα conflict ἔχοντες, having, οἷον such as εἴδετε you saw ἐν in ἐμοί me καί and νῦν now ἀκούετε hear of ἐν in ἐμοί. me.

Εἴ If [there is] τὶς any οὖν therefore παράκλησις encouragement ἐν in Χριστῷ, Christ, εἴ if τὶ any παραμύθιον comfort ἀγάπης, of love, εἴ if τὶς any κοινωνία fellowship Πνεύματος, of [the] Spirit, εἴ if τὶς any σπλάγχνα affections καί and οἰκτιρμοί, compassions, πληρώσατε fulfill μου my τήν - χαράν joy ἵνα so that τό the αὐτό same φρονῆτε, you may be minded, τήν the αὐτήν same ἀγάπην love ἔχοντες, having, σύμψυχοι, united in soul, τό the ἕν same thing φρονοῦντες, minding, μηδέν nothing κατ ̓ according to ἐριθείαν self-interest μηδέ or κατά according to κενοδοξίαν vain conceit, ἀλλά but τῇ - ταπεινοφροσύνῃ in humility ἀλλήλους one another ἡγούμενοι be esteeming ὑπερέχοντας surpassing ἑαυτῶν, themselves, μή not τά the things ἑαυτῶν of themselves ἕκαστος each σκοποῦντες considering, ἀλλά but καί also τά the things ἑτέρων of others ἕκαστοι. each.

Τοῦτο This φρονεῖτε let mind be ἐν in ὑμῖν you ὅ which καί also ἐν in Χριστῷ Christ Ἰησοῦ, Jesus [was]: Ὅς Who ἐν in μορφῇ [the] form Θεοῦ of God ὑπάρχων existing, οὐ not ἁρπαγμόν something to be grasped ἡγήσατο considered τό - εἶναι to be ἴσα equal Θεῷ, with God, ἀλλά but ἑαυτόν Himself ἐκένωσεν emptied, μορφήν [the] form δούλου of a servant λαβών, having taken, ἐν in ὁμοιώματι [the] likeness ἀνθρώπων of men γενόμενος· having been made. καί And σχήματι in appearance εὑρεθείς having been found ὡς as ἄνθρωπος a man, ἐταπείνωσεν He humbled ἑαυτόν Himself, γενόμενος having become ὑπήκοος obedient μέχρι unto θανάτου, death, θανάτου [the] death δέ even σταυροῦ. of [the] cross.

Πάντα All things ποιεῖτε do χωρίς without γογγυσμῶν murmurings καί and διαλογισμῶν, disputings, ἵνα so that γένησθε you may be ἄμεμπτοι blameless καί and ἀκέραιοι, innocent, τέκνα children Θεοῦ of God, ἄμωμα unblemished μέσον in [the] midst γενεᾶς of a generation σκολιᾶς crooked καί and διεστραμμένης, perverted, ἐν among οἷς whom φαίνεσθε you shine ὡς as φωστῆρες lights ἐν in κόσμῳ, [the] world, λόγον [the] word ζωῆς of life ἐπέχοντες, holding forth, εἰς unto καύχημα a boast ἐμοί to me εἰς in ἡμέραν [the] day Χριστοῦ, of Christ ὅτι that οὐ not εἰς in κενόν vain ἔδραμον I did run οὐδέ nor εἰς in κενόν vain ἐκοπίασα. toil. Ἀλλά But εἰ if καί even σπένδομαι I am being poured out as a drink offering ἐπί on τῇ the θυσίᾳ sacrifice καί and λειτουργίᾳ service τῆς of the πίστεως faith ὑμῶν, of you, χαίρω I am glad καί and συνχαίρω rejoice with πᾶσιν all ὑμῖν· you. τό - δέ And αὐτό likewise καί also ὑμεῖς you χαίρετε be glad καί and συνχαίρετε rejoice with μοι. me.

Χριστοῦ. of Christ τήν - δέ But δοκιμήν the proven worth αὐτοῦ of him γινώσκετε, you know, ὅτι that ὡς as πατρί a father [with] τέκνον a child, σύν with ἐμοί me ἐδούλευσεν he has served εἰς in τό the εὐαγγέλιον. gospel. Τοῦτον Him μέν indeed οὖν therefore ἐλπίζω I hope πέμψαι to send, ὡς when ἄν - ἀφίδω I shall have seen τά the things περί concerning ἐμέ me, ἐξαυτῆς· immediately. πέποιθα I am persuaded δέ now ἐν in Κυρίῳ [the] Lord ὅτι that καί also αὐτός I myself ταχέως soon ἐλεύσομαι.

Σπουδαιοτέρως All the more speedily οὖν therefore ἔπεμψα I have sent αὐτόν, him, ἵνα that ἰδόντες having seen αὐτόν him πάλιν again, χαρῆτε you may rejoice, κἀγώ and I ἀλυπότερος less anxious ὦ. might be. προσδέχεσθε Receive οὖν therefore αὐτόν him ἐν in Κυρίῳ [the] Lord μετά with πάσης all χαρᾶς joy, καί and τούς - τοιούτους such ἐντίμους in honor ἔχετε, hold, ὅτι because διά for the sake of τό the ἔργον work Χριστοῦ of Christ, μέχρι unto θανάτου death ἤγγισεν he came near, παραβολευσάμενος having disregarded τῇ [his] ψυχῇ, life ἵνα so that ἀναπληρώσῃ he might fill up τό the ὑμῶν of you ὑστέρημα deficit τῆς of πρός toward με me λειτουργίας. service.
