Philippians 2 : 1 (ESV)

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

Philippians 2 : 2 (ESV)

complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Philippians 2 : 3 (ESV)

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Philippians 2 : 4 (ESV)

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Philippians 2 : 5 (ESV)

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2 : 6 (ESV)

who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Philippians 2 : 7 (ESV)

but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form,

Philippians 2 : 8 (ESV)

he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Philippians 2 : 9 (ESV)

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Philippians 2 : 10 (ESV)

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

Philippians 2 : 11 (ESV)

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

Philippians 2 : 12 (ESV)

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

Philippians 2 : 13 (ESV)

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

Philippians 2 : 14 (ESV)

Do all things without grumbling or questioning,

Philippians 2 : 15 (ESV)

that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Philippians 2 : 16 (ESV)

holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Philippians 2 : 17 (ESV)

Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Philippians 2 : 18 (ESV)

Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2 : 19 (ESV)

I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.

Philippians 2 : 20 (ESV)

For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

Philippians 2 : 21 (ESV)

They all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2 : 22 (ESV)

But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel.

Philippians 2 : 23 (ESV)

I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,

Philippians 2 : 24 (ESV)

and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

Philippians 2 : 25 (ESV)

I have thought 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 (ESV)

for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

Philippians 2 : 27 (ESV)

Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Philippians 2 : 28 (ESV)

I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

Philippians 2 : 29 (ESV)

So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men,

Philippians 2 : 30 (ESV)

for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.
