  Philipians   chapter 2

    
   1 If there be therefore any consolation in Christ,
  if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the
  Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
   2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having
  the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
   3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
  but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better
  than themselves.
   4 Look not every man on his own things, but every
  man also on the things of others.
   5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ
  Jesus:
   6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
  robbery to be equal with God:
   7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon
  him the form of a servant, and was made in the
  likeness of men:
   8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
  himself, and became obedient unto death, even the
  death of the cross.
   9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and
  given him a name which is above every name:
  10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
  of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
  under the earth;
  11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
  Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
  12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
  not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
  absence, work out your own salvation with fear and
  trembling.
  13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will
  and to do of his good pleasure.
  14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
  15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of
  God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and
  perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the
  world;
  16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice
  in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain,
  neither laboured in vain.
  17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and
  service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you
  all.
  18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice
  with me.
  19 But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus
  shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort,
  when I know your state.
  20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally
  care for your state.
  21 For all seek their own, not the things which are
  Jesus Christ's.
  22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with
  the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
  23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as
  I shall see how it will go with me.
  24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall
  come shortly.
  25 Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
  Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour,
  and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that
  ministered to my wants.
  26 For he longed after you all, and was full of
  heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been
  sick.
  27 For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God
  had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me
  also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
  28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that,
  when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may
  be the less sorrowful.
  29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all
  gladness; and hold such in reputation:
  30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto
  death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of
  service toward me.
