chapter_Philippians_2
Philippians 2:1: If, then, any exhortation is in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Philippians 2:2: fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing &#8212; having the same love &#8212; of one soul &#8212; minding the one thing, Philippians 2:3: nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves &#8212; Philippians 2:4: each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others. Philippians 2:5: For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus, Philippians 2:6: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God, Philippians 2:7: but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, Philippians 2:8: and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death &#8212; death even of a cross, Philippians 2:9: wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, Philippians 2:10: that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow &#8212; of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth &#8212; Philippians 2:11: and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:12: So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out, Philippians 2:13: for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure. Philippians 2:14: All things do without murmurings and reasonings, Philippians 2:15: that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, Philippians 2:16: the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour; Philippians 2:17: but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all, Philippians 2:18: because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me. Philippians 2:19: And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you, Philippians 2:20: for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care, Philippians 2:21: for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus, Philippians 2:22: and the proof of him ye know, that as a child serveth a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news; Philippians 2:23: him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me &#8212; immediately; Philippians 2:24: and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come. Philippians 2:25: And I thought it necessary Epaphroditus &#8212; my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need &#8212; to send unto you, Philippians 2:26: seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed, Philippians 2:27: for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have. Philippians 2:28: The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may 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 on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
