PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Por eso, queridos hermanos míos, a los que amo y extraño mucho, a ustedes que son mi alegría y mi corona les digo que se mantengan firmes en el Señor.
1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
1 Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοὶ καὶ ἐπιπόθητοι, χαρὰ καὶ στέφανός μου, οὕτω στήκετε ἐν Κυρίῳ, ἀγαπητοί.
2 Les ruego a Evodia y también a Síntique que se pongan de acuerdo en el Señor.
2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
2 Εὐοδίαν παρακαλῶ καὶ Συντύχην παρακαλῶ τὸ αὐτὸ φρονεῖν ἐν Κυρίῳ·
3 Y a ti, mi fiel compañero, te pido que ayudes a estas mujeres. Porque han luchado a mi lado junto con Clemente y mis demás ayudantes en la obra del evangelio. Sus nombres ya están en el libro de la vida.
3 Yes, I beg you also, true partner, help these women, for they labored with me in the Good News with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.
3 ναὶ ἐρωτῶ καὶ σέ, Σύζυγε γνήσιε, συλλαμβάνου αὐταῖς, αἵτινες ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ συνήθλησάν μοι μετὰ καὶ Κλήμεντος καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν συνεργῶν μου, ὧν τὰ ὀνόματα ἐν βίβλῳ ζωῆς.
4 Alégrense siempre en el Señor. Se lo repito: ¡Alégrense!
4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
4 Χαίρετε ἐν Κυρίῳ πάντοτε· πάλιν ἐρῶ, χαίρετε.
5 Que todos se den cuenta de que ustedes son amables. El Señor viene pronto.
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
5 τὸ ἐπιεικὲς ὑμῶν γνωσθήτω πᾶσιν ἀνθρώποις. ὁ Κύριος ἐγγύς.
6 No se angustien por nada; más bien, oren; pídanle a Dios en toda ocasión y denle gracias.
6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
6 μηδὲν μεριμνᾶτε, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν παντὶ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τὰ αἰτήματα ὑμῶν γνωριζέσθω πρὸς τὸν Θεόν.
7 Y la paz de Dios, esa paz que nadie puede comprender, cuidará sus corazones y pensamientos en Cristo.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
7 καὶ ἡ εἰρήνη τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ ὑπερέχουσα πάντα νοῦν φρουρήσει τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ νοήματα ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
8 Por último, hermanos, piensen en todo lo que es verdadero, todo lo que es respetable, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo que es digno de admiración; piensen en todo lo que se reconoce como virtud o que merezca elogio.
8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
8 Τὸ λοιπόν, ἀδελφοί, ὅσα ἐστὶν ἀληθῆ, ὅσα σεμνά, ὅσα δίκαια, ὅσα ἁγνά, ὅσα προσφιλῆ, ὅσα εὔφημα, εἴ τις ἀρετὴ καὶ εἴ τις ἔπαινος, ταῦτα λογίζεσθε·
9 Practiquen lo que han aprendido, recibido y oído de mí, y lo que han visto en mí. Y obrando así, el Dios de paz estará con ustedes.
9 Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
9 ἃ καὶ ἐμάθετε καὶ παρελάβετε καὶ ἠκούσατε καὶ εἴδετε ἐν ἐμοί, ταῦτα πράσσετε· καὶ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἔσται μεθ ὑμῶν.
10 Me alegro mucho en el Señor de que al fin se han vuelto a interesar en mí. Por supuesto que tenían interés, sólo que no habían tenido la oportunidad de demostrarlo.
10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your thought for me; in which you did indeed take thought, but you lacked opportunity.
10 Ἐχάρην δὲ ἐν Κυρίῳ μεγάλως ὅτι ἤδη ποτὲ ἀνεθάλετε τὸ ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ φρονεῖν· ἐφ᾽ ᾧ καὶ ἐφρονεῖτε, ἠκαιρεῖσθε δέ.
11 No lo digo porque esté necesitado, pues he aprendido a estar satisfecho en cualquier situación en que me encuentre.
11 Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
11 οὐχ ὅτι καθ᾽ ὑστέρησιν λέγω· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἔμαθον ἐν οἷς εἰμι αὐτάρκης εἶναι.
12 Sé lo que es vivir en la pobreza y lo que es vivir en la abundancia. He aprendido a vivir en cualquier circunstancia: tanto a quedar satisfecho como a pasar hambre, a tener de sobra como a sufrir por no tener nada.
12 I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need.
12 οἶδα καὶ ταπεινοῦσθαι, οἶδα καὶ περισσεύειν· ἐν παντὶ καὶ ἐν πᾶσι μεμύημαι καὶ χορτάζεσθαι καὶ πεινᾶν, καὶ περισσεύειν καὶ ὑστερεῖσθαι·
13 Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me da fortaleza.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
13 πάντα ἰσχύω ἐν τῷ ἐνδυναμοῦντί με Χριστῷ.
14 Sin embargo, han hecho bien al compartir conmigo mis dificultades.
14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
14 πλὴν καλῶς ἐποιήσατε συγκοινωνήσαντές μου τῇ θλίψει.
15 Como ustedes, filipenses, bien saben, al principio, cuando salí de Macedonia y comencé a anunciar el evangelio, ninguna iglesia me ayudó en mis ingresos y gastos, excepto ustedes.
15 You yourselves also know, you Philippians, that in the beginning of the Good News, when I departed from Macedonia, no assembly shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you only.
15 οἴδατε δὲ καὶ ὑμεῖς, Φιλιππήσιοι, ὅτι ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, ὅτε ἐξῆλθον ἀπὸ Μακεδονίας, οὐδεμία μοι ἐκκλησία ἐκοινώνησεν εἰς λόγον δόσεως καὶ λήψεως εἰ μὴ ὑμεῖς μόνοι,
16 En efecto, ustedes me enviaron ayuda hasta Tesalónica, una y otra vez, para cubrir mis necesidades.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
16 ὅτι καὶ ἐν Θεσσαλονίκῃ καὶ ἅπαξ καὶ δὶς εἰς τὴν χρείαν μοι ἐπέμψατε.
17 No digo esto para que me den más ayuda económica, sino que trato de aumentar el crédito en su cuenta.
17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
17 οὐχ ὅτι ἐπιζητῶ τὸ δόμα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπιζητῶ τὸν καρπὸν τὸν πλεονάζοντα εἰς λόγον ὑμῶν.
18 He recibido todo lo que necesito y hasta más. Epafrodito me dio lo que me enviaron y ahora tengo de sobra. Su ayuda es una ofrenda de olor grato, un sacrificio que Dios acepta con agrado.
18 But I have all things and abound. I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, a sweet-smelling fragrance, an acceptable and well-pleasing sacrifice to God.
18 ἀπέχω δὲ πάντα καὶ περισσεύω· πεπλήρωμαι δεξάμενος παρὰ Ἐπαφροδίτου τὰ παρ᾽ ὑμῶν, ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, θυσίαν δεκτήν, εὐάρεστον τῷ Θεῷ.
19 Por eso, mi Dios les dará todo lo que necesiten, conforme a las gloriosas riquezas que tiene en Cristo Jesús.
19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
19 ὁ δὲ Θεός μου πληρώσει πᾶσαν χρείαν ὑμῶν κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον αὐτοῦ ἐν δόξῃ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ.
20 Denle a nuestro Dios y Padre la gloria para siempre. Amén.
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
20 Τῷ δὲ Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ ἡμῶν ἡ δόξα εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.
21 Saluden a todo el pueblo santo de Dios en Cristo Jesús. Los hermanos que están conmigo les mandan saludos.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
21 Ἀσπάσασθε πάντα ἅγιον ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ. ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς οἱ σὺν ἐμοὶ ἀδελφοί.
22 Todos los que son del pueblo santo de Dios les mandan saludos, especialmente los de la casa del emperador.
22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
22 ἀσπάζονται ὑμᾶς πάντες οἱ ἅγιοι, μάλιστα δὲ οἱ ἐκ τῆς Καίσαρος οἰκίας.
23 Que el amor del Señor Jesucristo esté con ustedes. Amén.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
23 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ πάντων ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"Blessed are they that mourn," and "woe unto them that laugh" (Matt. v. 4; Luke vi. 25.), saith Christ. How then saith Paul, "Rejoice in the Lord alway"? "Woe to them that laugh," said Christ, the laughter of this world which ariseth from the things which are present.

… the Levites shall have no part in the whole tribe of Levi, nor substance with Israel; their substance is the offerings (fructifications) of the Lord: these shall they eat." Wherefore also Paul says, "I do not seek after a gift, but I seek after fruit." To His disciples He said, who had a priesthood of the Lord, to whom it …
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Lo!

Heardest thou not what Paul saith, "Rejoice in the Lord?" He said not, "in the devil." When then wilt thou be able to hear Paul?

… the adversary, so likewise ye, after Holy Baptism and the Mystical Chrism, having put on the whole armour of the Holy Ghost, are to stand against the power of the adversary, and vanquish it, saying, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
