Philippians - ch 2 v 1 - 20
- If, then, any exhortation `is' in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
- fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,
- nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --
- each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.
- For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,
- who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,
- but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,
- and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,
- wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that `is' above every name,
- that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --
- and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ `is' Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
- 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,
- for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
- All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
- 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,
- 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;
- but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
- because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
- 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,
- for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,
