Philippians 2
Php 2:1 If there is
therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if
any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
Php 2:2 make my joy
full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one
accord, of one mind;
Php 2:3 doing nothing
through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting
others better than himself;
Php 2:4 each of you not
just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of
others.
Php 2:5 Have this in
your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
Php 2:6 who, existing
in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be
grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied
himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of
men.
Php 2:8 And being found
in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes,
the death of the cross.
Php 2:9 Therefore God
also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above
every name;
Php 2:10 that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on
earth, and those under the earth,
Php 2:11 and that every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
Php 2:12 So then, my
beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but
now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear
and trembling.
Php 2:13 For it is God
who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.
Php 2:14 Do all things
without murmurings and disputes,
Php 2:15 that you may
become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the
midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen
as lights in the world,
Php 2:16 holding up the
word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of
Christ, that I didn't run in vain nor labor in vain.
Php 2:17 Yes, and if I
am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice,
and rejoice with you all.
Php 2:18 In the same
way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.
Php 2:19 But I hope in
the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be
cheered up when I know how you are doing.
Php 2:20 For I have no
one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.
Php 2:21 For they all
seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Php 2:22 But you know
the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with
me in furtherance of the Good News.
Php 2:23 Therefore I
hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.
Php 2:24 But I trust in
the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.
Php 2:25 But I counted
it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker,
fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;
Php 2:26 since he
longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that
he was sick.
Php 2:27 For indeed he
was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him
only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow.
Php 2:28 I have sent
him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you
may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Php 2:29 Receive him
therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
Php 2:30 because for
the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply
that which was lacking in your service toward me.
