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,
2:2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same
love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
2:3 [Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but
in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves.
2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also
on the things of others.
2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to
be equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the
form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,
and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him
a name which is above every name:
2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of
[things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under
the earth;
2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
[is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12 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.
2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to
do of [his] good pleasure.
2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
2:15 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;
2:16 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.
2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service
of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
2:18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
2:19 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.
2:20 For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care
for your state.
2:21 For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus
Christ's.
2:22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the
father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
2:23 Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I
shall see how it will go with me.
2:24 But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come
shortly.
2:25 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.
2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness,
because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
2:27 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.
2:28 I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye
see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less
sorrowful.
2:29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and
hold such in reputation:
2:30 Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death,
not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward
me.
