Philippians 2 : 1 (ASV)

If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

Philippians 2 : 2 (ASV)

make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Philippians 2 : 3 (ASV)

doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

Philippians 2 : 4 (ASV)

not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

Philippians 2 : 5 (ASV)

Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Philippians 2 : 6 (ASV)

who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Philippians 2 : 7 (ASV)

but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

Philippians 2 : 8 (ASV)

and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

Philippians 2 : 9 (ASV)

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

Philippians 2 : 10 (ASV)

that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,

Philippians 2 : 11 (ASV)

and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2 : 12 (ASV)

So then, my beloved, even 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;

Philippians 2 : 13 (ASV)

for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

Philippians 2 : 14 (ASV)

Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

Philippians 2 : 15 (ASV)

that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

Philippians 2 : 16 (ASV)

holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

Philippians 2 : 17 (ASV)

Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

Philippians 2 : 18 (ASV)

and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2 : 19 (ASV)

But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

Philippians 2 : 20 (ASV)

For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.

Philippians 2 : 21 (ASV)

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2 : 22 (ASV)

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.

Philippians 2 : 23 (ASV)

Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:

Philippians 2 : 24 (ASV)

but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.

Philippians 2 : 25 (ASV)

But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-worker and fellow-soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need;

Philippians 2 : 26 (ASV)

since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:

Philippians 2 : 27 (ASV)

for indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

Philippians 2 : 28 (ASV)

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

Philippians 2 : 29 (ASV)

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honor:

Philippians 2 : 30 (ASV)

because for the work of Christ he came nigh unto death, hazarding his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.
