Philippians 2 : 1 (WEB)

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,

Philippians 2 : 2 (WEB)

make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

Philippians 2 : 3 (WEB)

doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;

Philippians 2 : 4 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 5 (WEB)

Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2 : 6 (WEB)

who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider it robbery to be equal with God,

Philippians 2 : 7 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 8 (WEB)

And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.

Philippians 2 : 9 (WEB)

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;

Philippians 2 : 10 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 11 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 12 (WEB)

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.

Philippians 2 : 13 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 14 (WEB)

Do all things without murmurings and disputes,

Philippians 2 : 15 (WEB)

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,

Philippians 2 : 16 (WEB)

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.

Philippians 2 : 17 (WEB)

Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.

Philippians 2 : 18 (WEB)

In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2 : 19 (WEB)

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.

Philippians 2 : 20 (WEB)

For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.

Philippians 2 : 21 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 22 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 23 (WEB)

Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.

Philippians 2 : 24 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 25 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 26 (WEB)

since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.

Philippians 2 : 27 (WEB)

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.

Philippians 2 : 28 (WEB)

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.

Philippians 2 : 29 (WEB)

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

Philippians 2 : 30 (WEB)

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.
