| Phil. 2:1 |
If there is therefore any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any tenderheartedness and compassions, |
| Phil. 2:2 |
Make my joy full, that you think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking the one thing, |
| Phil. 2:3 |
[Doing] nothing by way of selfish ambition nor by way of vainglory, but in lowliness of mind considering one another more excellent than yourselves; |
| Phil. 2:4 |
Not regarding each his own virtues, but each the virtues of others also. |
| Phil. 2:5 |
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus, |
| Phil. 2:6 |
Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, |
| Phil. 2:7 |
But emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; |
| Phil. 2:8 |
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that] the death of a cross. |
| Phil. 2:9 |
Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, |
| Phil. 2:10 |
That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, |
| Phil. 2:11 |
And every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. |
| Phil. 2:12 |
So then, my beloved, even as you 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; |
| Phil. 2:13 |
For it is God who operates in you both the willing and the working for [His] good pleasure. |
| Phil. 2:14 |
Do all things without murmurings and reasonings |
| Phil. 2:15 |
That you may be blameless and guileless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom you shine as luminaries in the world, |
| Phil. 2:16 |
Holding forth the word of life, so that I may have a boast in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain. |
| Phil. 2:17 |
But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with you all. |
| Phil. 2:18 |
And in like manner you also rejoice, and you rejoice together with me. |
| Phil. 2:19 |
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, that I also may be encouraged by knowing the things concerning you. |
| Phil. 2:20 |
For I have no one like-souled who will genuinely care for what concerns you; |
| Phil. 2:21 |
For all seek their own things, not the things of Christ Jesus. |
| Phil. 2:22 |
But you know his approvedness, that as a child with a father he has served with me unto the gospel. |
| Phil. 2:23 |
Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me. |
| Phil. 2:24 |
But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly. |
| Phil. 2:25 |
But I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your apostle and minister to my need, |
| Phil. 2:26 |
Since he longed after you all and was greatly distressed because you heard that he had become sick; |
| Phil. 2:27 |
For indeed he had become sick, near to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow. |
| Phil. 2:28 |
I have sent him therefore the more eagerly, so that when you see him again, you may rejoice and I may be less sorrowful. |
| Phil. 2:29 |
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor, |
| Phil. 2:30 |
Because for the work of Christ he drew near unto death, risking his life, that he might fill up your lack of service toward me. |
