Philippians 2:1
If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,
Philippians 2:2
fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;
Philippians 2:3
let nothing be in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;
Philippians 2:4
regarding not each his own qualities , but each those of others also.
Philippians 2:5
For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus;
Philippians 2:6
who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;
Philippians 2:7
but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in the likeness of men;
Philippians 2:8
and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9
Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
Philippians 2:10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal beings ,
Philippians 2:11
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to God the Father's glory.
Philippians 2:12
So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
Philippians 2:13
for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to his good pleasure.
Philippians 2:14
Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,
Philippians 2:15
that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in the world,
Philippians 2:16
holding forth the word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.
Philippians 2:17
But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.
Philippians 2:18
In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
Philippians 2:19
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.
Philippians 2:20
For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.
Philippians 2:21
For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:22
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.
Philippians 2:23
Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:
Philippians 2:24
but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall soon come;
Philippians 2:25
but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,
Philippians 2:26
since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;
Philippians 2:27
for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Philippians 2:28
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful.
Philippians 2:29
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;
Philippians 2:30
because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.
