1 Ako ima dakle koje poučenje u Hristu, ili ako ima koja uteha ljubavi, ako ima koja zajednica duha, ako ima koje srce žalostivo i milost, 2 ispunite moju radost, da jedno mislite, jednu ljubav imate, jednodušni i jednomisleni: 3 Ništa ne činite usprkos ili za praznu slavu; nego poniznošću činite jedan drugog većeg od sebe. 4 Ne gledajte svaki za svoje, nego i za drugih. 5 Jer ovo da se misli među vama šta je i u Hristu Isusu, 6 koji, ako je i bio u obličju Božijem, nije se otimao da se uporedi s Bogom; 7 nego je ponizio sam sebe uzevši obličje sluge, postavši kao i drugi ljudi i na oči nađe se kao čovek. 8 Ponizio sam sebe postavši poslušan do same smrti, a smrti krstove. 9 Zato i Bog Njega povisi, i darova Mu ime koje je veće od svakog imena. 10 Da se u ime Isusovo pokloni svako koleno onih koji su na nebu i na zemlji i pod zemljom; 11 i svaki jezik da prizna da je Gospod Isus Hristos na slavu Boga Oca. 12 Tako, ljubazni moji, kao što me svagda slušaste, ne samo kad sam kod vas, nego i sad mnogo većma kad nisam kod vas, gradite spasenje svoje sa strahom i drhtanjem. 13 Jer je Bog što čini u vama da hoćete i učinite kao što Mu je ugodno. 14 Sve činite bez vike i premišljanja. 15 Da budete pravi i celi, deca Božja bez mane usred roda nevaljalog i pokvarenog, u kome svetlite kao videla na svetu, 16 pridržavajući reč života, na moju hvalu za dan Hristov, da mi ne bude uzalud trčanje i trud. 17 No ako i žrtvovan budem na žrtvu i službu vere vaše, radujem se, i radujem se s vama svima. 18 Tako i vi radujte se i budite sa mnom radosni. 19 A nadam se u Gospoda Isusa da ću skoro poslati k vama Timotija, da se i ja razveselim razabravši kako ste vi. 20 Jer nijednog nemam jednake misli sa sobom koji se upravo brine za vas. 21 Jer svi traže šta je njihovo, a ne šta je Hrista Isusa. 22 A njegovo poštenje poznajete, jer kao dete ocu sa mnom je poslužio u jevanđelju. 23 Njega, dakle, nadam se da ću poslati odmah kako razberem šta je za mene. 24 A nadam se u Gospodu da ću i sam skoro doći k vama. 25 Ali nađoh za potrebno da pošaljem k vama brata Epafrodita, svog pomagača i drugara u vojevanju, a vašeg poslanika i slugu moje potrebe; 26 jer željaše od srca vas sve da vidi, i žaljaše što ste čuli da je bolovao. 27 Jer beše bolestan do smrti; no Bog pomilova ga, ne samo njega nego i mene, da mi ne dođe žalost na žalost. 28 Zato ga poslah skorije, da se obradujete kad ga opet vidite, i meni da olakša malo. 29 Primite ga, dakle, u Gospodu sa svakom radosti, i takve poštujte; 30 jer za delo Hristovo dođe do same smrti, ne marivši za svoj život da naknadi u službi mojoj što vas nemam.

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).
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?

… in order that to Christ Jesus, our Lord, and God, and Saviour, and King, according to the will of the invisible Father, "every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess" to Him, and that He should execute just judgment towards all; that He may send …

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 …

… heaven and on earth is named: glorifying Him with the Only-begotten: for he that denieth the Father, denieth the Son also: and again, He that confesseth the Son, hath the Father also; knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
