14Panteim poiavōr chōris gongusmoiu kai dialogismoiu,Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15hina geneveia amemptois kai akeraiois, tekneim theou ⸂amōmeim mesem⸃ geneau skoliau kai diastreforēntau, en hoi fanovō hōs fōstērois en kosmoso that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world 16logon zōau epecharōntois, eis kauchēmem mi eis hēmeran Christou, hoti ouk eis kenem trechama oude eis kenem kopiama.as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain. 17alla ei kai spendomō epi ta thusia kai leitourgia tau pistiau vu, chairamō kai sunchairamō pantoi vi;But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. 18tem de autem kai vis chairavōr kai sunchairavōr mi.So you too should be glad and rejoice with me.
19Elpizamō de en kurio Iēso Timotheon tacheōs pempara vi, hina kamis eupsuchameiō gnōskarantos teim peri vu.Now I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I learn how you are doing. 20oudenon gar echamō isopsuchon hotinos gnēsiōs teim peri vu merimnati,I have nobody else like him who will genuinely care for your needs. 21tois pantois gar teim heautoiu zētalō, ouk teim ⸂Iēsu Christou.⸃For all the others look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22tan de dokiman autou gnōskavō, hoti hōs patro teknem sun mi douleuata eis tem euangeliem.But you know Timothy’s proven worth, that as a child with his father he has served with me to advance the gospel. 23houton men oun elpizamō pempara hōs an aforameia teim peri min exautēs;So I hope to send him as soon as I see what happens with me. 24peithamē de en kurio hoti kai autos tacheōs erchemi.And I trust in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25Anankaiem de hēgema Epafroditon ton adelfon kai sunergon kai sustratiōton mu, vu de apostolon kai leitourgon tau chreiau mu, pempara pros vin,But I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my needs. 26epeidē epipotharōntos ate pantoin ⸀vin, kai adēmonarōntos dioti akouava hoti asthenata.For he has been longing for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27kai gar asthenata paraplēsiem ⸀thanato; alla tos theos ⸂elēata auton,⸃ ouk auton de monon alla kai min, hina mē lupan epi lupan echameia.He was sick indeed, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28spoudaiōs oun pempama auton hina horarantois auton palin chairiveia kamis alupoteros ameiō.Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less anxious. 29prosdechovōr oun auton en kurio meta pantau charau, kai toin toioutoin entimoin echavōr,Welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor men like him, 30hoti dia tem ergem ⸀Christou mechris thanatou engizata, ⸀paraboleuerantos ta psucha hina anaplērateia tem vu husterēmem tau pros min leitourgiau.because he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to make up for your deficit of service to me.
