1 ει τις ουν παρακλησις εν χριστω, ει τι παραμυθιον αγαπης, ει τις κοινωνια πνευματος, ει τις σπλαγχνα και οικτιρμοι, 2 πληρωσατε μου την χαραν, ινα το αυτο φρονητε, την αυτην αγαπην εχοντες, συμψυχοι, το εν φρονουντες, 3 μηδεν κατα εριθειαν η κενοδοξιαν, αλλα τη ταπεινοφροσυνη αλληλους ηγουμενοι υπερεχοντας εαυτων. 4 μη τα εαυτων εκαστος σκοπειτε, αλλα και τα ετερων εκαστος. 5 τουτο γαρ φρονεισθω εν υμιν ο και εν χριστω ιησου, 6 ος εν μορφη θεου υπαρχων ουχ αρπαγμον ηγησατο το ειναι ισα θεω, 7 αλλ εαυτον εκενωσεν μορφην δουλου λαβων, εν ομοιωματι ανθρωπων γενομενος, 8 και σχηματι ευρεθεις ως ανθρωπος εταπεινωσεν εαυτον γενομενος υπηκοος μεχρι θανατου, θανατου δε σταυρου. 9 διο και ο θεος αυτον υπερυψωσεν και εχαρισατο αυτω ονομα το υπερ παν ονομα, 10 ινα εν τω ονοματι ιησου παν γονυ καμψη επουρανιων και επιγειων και καταχθονιων, 11 και πασα γλωσσα εξομολογησηται οτι κυριος ιησους χριστος εις δοξαν θεου πατρος. 12 ωστε, αγαπητοι μου, καθως παντοτε υπηκουσατε, μη ως εν τη παρουσια μου μονον, αλλα νυν πολλω μαλλον εν τη απουσια μου, μετα φοβου και τρομου την εαυτων σωτηριαν κατεργαζεσθε· 13 ο θεος γαρ εστιν ο ενεργων εν υμιν και το θελειν και το ενεργειν υπερ της ευδοκιας. 14 παντα ποιειτε χωρις γογγυσμων και διαλογισμων, 15 ινα γενησθε αμεμπτοι και ακεραιοι, τεκνα θεου αμωμητα εν μεσω γενεας σκολιας και διεστραμμενης, εν οις φαινεσθε ως φωστηρες εν κοσμω, 16 λογον ζωης επεχοντες, εις καυχημα εμοι εις ημεραν χριστου, οτι ουκ εις κενον εδραμον ουδε εις κενον εκοπιασα. 17 αλλ ει και σπενδομαι επι τη θυσια και λειτουργια της πιστεως υμων, χαιρω και συγχαιρω πασιν υμιν· 18 το δ αυτο και υμεις χαιρετε και συγχαιρετε μοι. 19 ελπιζω δε εν κυριω ιησου τιμοθεον ταχεως πεμψαι υμιν, ινα καγω ευψυχω γνους τα περι υμων· 20 ουδενα γαρ εχω ισοψυχον, οστις γνησιως τα περι υμων μεριμνησει· 21 οι παντες γαρ τα εαυτων ζητουσιν, ου τα χριστου ιησου. 22 την δε δοκιμην αυτου γινωσκετε, οτι ως πατρι τεκνον συν εμοι εδουλευσεν εις το ευαγγελιον. 23 τουτον μεν ουν ελπιζω πεμψαι ως αν απιδω τα περι εμε εξαυτης· 24 πεποιθα δε εν κυριω οτι και αυτος ταχεως ελευσομαι. 25 αναγκαιον δε ηγησαμην επαφροδιτον τον αδελφον και συνεργον και συστρατιωτην μου, υμων δε αποστολον και λειτουργον της χρειας μου, πεμψαι προς υμας, 26 επειδη επιποθων ην παντας υμας, και αδημονων διοτι ηκουσατε οτι ησθενησεν. 27 και γαρ ησθενησεν παραπλησιον θανατου· αλλ ο θεος αυτον ηλεησεν, ουκ αυτον δε μονον, αλλα και εμε, ινα μη λυπην επι λυπην σχω. 28 σπουδαιοτερως ουν επεμψα αυτον, ινα ιδοντες αυτον παλιν χαρητε, καγω αλυποτερος ω. 29 προσδεχεσθε ουν αυτον εν κυριω μετα πασης χαρας, και τους τοιουτους εντιμους εχετε, 30 οτι δια το εργον του χριστου μεχρι θανατου ηγγισεν, παραβουλευσαμενος τη ψυχη ινα αναπληρωση το υμων υστερημα της προς με λειτουργιας.

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).

  1. Commentary 2:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Philippians (Homily V)

    There is nothing better, there is nothing more affectionate, than a spiritual teacher; such an one surpasses the kindness of any natural father. Do but consider, how this blessed one entreats the Philippians concerning the things which were to their own advantage. What says he, in exhorting them concerning concord, that cause of all good things?

  4. Quotes verse 2:7 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily IV)

    how was He of David's seed? how did he "take the form of a servant?" how "was the Word made flesh?" and how saith Paul to the Romans, "Of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is God over all?" Therefore that He was of us, and of our substance, and of the Virgin's womb, is manifest from these …
