WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 إِذًا يَا إِخْوَتِي ٱلْأَحِبَّاءَ، وَٱلْمُشْتَاقَ إِلَيْهِمْ، يَا سُرُورِي وَإِكْلِيلِي، ٱثْبُتُوا هَكَذَا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ.
1 ASÍ que, hermanos míos amados y deseados, gozo y corona mía, estad así firmes en el Señor, amados.
1 Therefore, my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
2 أَطْلُبُ إِلَى أَفُودِيَةَ وَأَطْلُبُ إِلَى سِنْتِيخِي أَنْ تَفْتَكِرَا فِكْرًا وَاحِدًا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ.
2 A Euodias ruego, y á Syntychê exhorto, que sientan lo mismo en el Señor.
2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to think the same way in the Lord.
3 نَعَمْ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْتَ أَيْضًا، يَا شَرِيكِي ٱلْمُخْلِصَ، سَاعِدْ هَاتَيْنِ ٱللَّتَيْنِ جَاهَدَتَا مَعِي فِي ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ، مَعَ أَكْلِيمَنْدُسَ أَيْضًا وَبَاقِي ٱلْعَامِلِينَ مَعِي، ٱلَّذِينَ أَسْمَاؤُهُمْ فِي سِفْرِ ٱلْحَيَاةِ.
3 Asimismo te ruego también á ti, hermano compañero, ayuda á las que trabajaron juntamente conmigo en el evangelio, con Clemente también, y los demás mis colaboradores, cuyos nombres 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.
4 اِفْرَحُوا فِي ٱلرَّبِّ كُلَّ حِينٍ، وَأَقُولُ أَيْضًا: ٱفْرَحُوا.
4 Gozaos en el Señor siempre: otra vez digo: Que os gocéis.
4 Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!”
5 لِيَكُنْ حِلْمُكُمْ مَعْرُوفًا عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ. اَلرَّبُّ قَرِيبٌ.
5 Vuestra modestia sea conocida de todos los hombres. El Señor está cerca.
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 لَا تَهْتَمُّوا بِشَيْءٍ، بَلْ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِٱلصَّلَاةِ وَٱلدُّعَاءِ مَعَ ٱلشُّكْرِ، لِتُعْلَمْ طِلْبَاتُكُمْ لَدَى ٱللهِ.
6 Por nada estéis afanosos; sino sean notorias vuestras peticiones delante de Dios en toda oración y ruego, con hacimiento de gracias.
6 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
7 وَسَلَامُ ٱللهِ ٱلَّذِي يَفُوقُ كُلَّ عَقْلٍ، يَحْفَظُ قُلُوبَكُمْ وَأَفْكَارَكُمْ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.
7 Y la paz de Dios, que sobrepuja todo entendimiento, guardará vuestros corazones y vuestros entendimientos en Cristo Jesús.
7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
8 أَخِيرًا أَيُّهَا ٱلْإِخْوَةُ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ حَقٌّ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ جَلِيلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ عَادِلٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ طَاهِرٌ، كُلُّ مَا هُوَ مُسِرٌّ، كُلُّ مَا صِيتُهُ حَسَنٌ، إِنْ كَانَتْ فَضِيلَةٌ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَدْحٌ، فَفِي هَذِهِ ٱفْتَكِرُوا.
8 Por lo demás, hermanos, todo lo que es verdadero, todo lo honesto, todo lo justo, todo lo puro, todo lo amable, todo lo que es de buen nombre; si hay virtud alguna, si alguna alabanza, en esto pensad.
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.
9 وَمَا تَعَلَّمْتُمُوهُ، وَتَسَلَّمْتُمُوهُ، وَسَمِعْتُمُوهُ، وَرَأَيْتُمُوهُ فِيَّ، فَهَذَا ٱفْعَلُوا، وَإِلَهُ ٱلسَّلَامِ يَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ.
9 Lo que aprendisteis y recibisteis y oísteis y visteis en mí, esto haced; y el Dios de paz será con vosotros.
9 Do the things which you learned, received, heard, and saw in me, and the God of peace will be with you.
10 ثُمَّ إِنِّي فَرِحْتُ بِٱلرَّبِّ جِدًّا لِأَنَّكُمُ ٱلْآنَ قَدْ أَزْهَرَ أَيْضًا مَرَّةً ٱعْتِنَاؤُكُمْ بِي ٱلَّذِي كُنْتُمْ تَعْتَنُونَهُ، وَلَكِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَكُمْ فُرْصَةٌ.
10 Mas en gran manera me gocé en el Señor de que ya al fin ha reflorecido vuestro cuidado de mí; de lo cual aun estabais solícitos, pero os faltaba la oportunidad.
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.
11 لَيْسَ أَنِّي أَقُولُ مِنْ جِهَةِ ٱحْتِيَاجٍ، فَإِنِّي قَدْ تَعَلَّمْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مُكْتَفِيًا بِمَا أَنَا فِيهِ.
11 No lo digo en razón de indigencia, pues he aprendido á contentarme con lo que tengo.
11 Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it.
12 أَعْرِفُ أَنْ أَتَّضِعَ وَأَعْرِفُ أَيْضًا أَنْ أَسْتَفْضِلَ. فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَفِي جَمِيعِ ٱلْأَشْيَاءِ قَدْ تَدَرَّبْتُ أَنْ أَشْبَعَ وَأَنْ أَجُوعَ، وَأَنْ أَسْتَفْضِلَ وَأَنْ أَنْقُصَ.
12 Sé estar humillado, y sé tener abundancia: en todo y por todo estoy enseñado, así para hartura como para hambre, así para tener abundancia como para padecer necesidad.
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.
13 أَسْتَطِيعُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي يُقَوِّينِي.
13 Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece.
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
14 غَيْرَ أَنَّكُمْ فَعَلْتُمْ حَسَنًا إِذِ ٱشْتَرَكْتُمْ فِي ضِيقَتِي.
14 Sin embargo, bien hicisteis que comunicasteis juntamente á mi tribulación.
14 However you did well that you shared in my affliction.
15 وَأَنْتُمْ أَيْضًا تَعْلَمُونَ أَيُّهَا ٱلْفِيلِبِّيُّونَ أَنَّهُ فِي بَدَاءَةِ ٱلْإِنْجِيلِ،لَمَّا خَرَجْتُ مِنْ مَكِدُونِيَّةَ، لَمْ تُشَارِكْنِي كَنِيسَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فِي حِسَابِ ٱلْعَطَاءِ وَٱلْأَخْذِ إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ وَحْدَكُمْ.
15 Y sabéis también vosotros, oh Filipenses, que al principio del evangelio, cuando partí de Macedonia, ninguna iglesia me comunicó en razón de dar y recibir, sino vosotros solos.
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.
16 فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي تَسَالُونِيكِي أَيْضًا أَرْسَلْتُمْ إِلَيَّ مَرَّةً وَمَرَّتَيْنِ لِحَاجَتِي.
16 Porque aun á Tesalónica me enviasteis lo necesario una y dos veces.
16 For even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to my need.
17 لَيْسَ أَنِّي أَطْلُبُ ٱلْعَطِيَّةَ، بَلْ أَطْلُبُ ٱلثَّمَرَ ٱلْمُتَكَاثِرَ لِحِسَابِكُمْ.
17 No porque busque dádivas; mas busco fruto que abunde en vuestra cuenta.
17 Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.
18 وَلَكِنِّي قَدِ ٱسْتَوْفَيْتُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَٱسْتَفْضَلْتُ. قَدِ ٱمْتَلَأْتُ إِذْ قَبِلْتُ مِنْ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ ٱلْأَشْيَاءَ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ عِنْدِكُمْ، نَسِيمَ رَائِحَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ، ذَبِيحَةً مَقْبُولَةً مَرْضِيَّةً عِنْدَ ٱللهِ.
18 Empero todo lo he recibido, y tengo abundancia: estoy lleno, habiendo recibido de Epafrodito lo que enviasteis, olor de suavidad, sacrificio acepto, agradable á Dios.
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.
19 فَيَمْلَأُ إِلَهِي كُلَّ ٱحْتِيَاجِكُمْ بِحَسَبِ غِنَاهُ فِي ٱلْمَجْدِ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ.
19 Mi Dios, pues, suplirá todo lo que os falta conforme á sus riquezas en gloria en Cristo Jesús.
19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
20 وَلِلهِ وَأَبِينَا ٱلْمَجْدُ إِلَى دَهْرِ ٱلدَّاهِرِينَ. آمِينَ.
20 Al Dios pues y Padre nuestro [sea] gloria por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.
20 Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever! Amen.
21 سَلِّمُوا عَلَى كُلِّ قِدِّيسٍ فِي ٱلْمَسِيحِ يَسُوعَ. يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْإِخْوَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعِي.
21 Saludad á todos los santos en Cristo Jesús. Los hermanos que están conmigo os saludan.
21 Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me greet you.
22 يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعُ ٱلْقِدِّيسِينَ وَلَا سِيَّمَا ٱلَّذِينَ مِنْ بَيْتِ قَيْصَرَ.
22 Todos los santos os saludan, y mayormente los que son de casa de César.
22 All the saints greet you, especially those who are of Caesar’s household.
23 نِعْمَةُ رَبِّنَا يَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ مَعَ جَمِيعِكُمْ. آمِينَ. -كُتِبَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِ فِيلبيِّ مِنْ رُومِيَةِ عَلَى يَدِ أَبَفْرُودِتُسَ-
23 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con todos vosotros. Amén. Escrita de Roma con Epafrodito.
23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

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.
