Philippians 2

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