Philippians 2

1 If there is therefore any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,ERV — Philippians 2:1

2 fulfill ye my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;ERV — Philippians 2:2

3 doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;ERV — Philippians 2:3

4 not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.ERV — Philippians 2:4

5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:ERV — Philippians 2:5

6 who, being in the form of God, counted it not a prize to be on an equality with God,ERV — Philippians 2:6

7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;ERV — Philippians 2:7

8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.ERV — Philippians 2:8

9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;ERV — Philippians 2:9

10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth,ERV — Philippians 2:10

11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.ERV — Philippians 2:11

12 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;ERV — Philippians 2:12

13 for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.ERV — Philippians 2:13

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings;ERV — Philippians 2:14

15 that ye may be 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,ERV — Philippians 2:15

16 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 labour in vain.ERV — Philippians 2:16

17 Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:ERV — Philippians 2:17

18 and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.ERV — Philippians 2:18

19 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.ERV — Philippians 2:19

20 For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.ERV — Philippians 2:20

21 For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.ERV — Philippians 2:21

22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child serveth a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the gospel.ERV — Philippians 2:22

23 Him therefore I hope to send forthwith, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me:ERV — Philippians 2:23

24 but I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come shortly.ERV — Philippians 2:24

25 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;ERV — Philippians 2:25

26 since he longed after you all, and was sore troubled, because ye had heard that he was sick:ERV — Philippians 2:26

27 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.ERV — Philippians 2:27

28 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.ERV — Philippians 2:28

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy; and hold such in honour:ERV — Philippians 2:29

30 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.ERV — Philippians 2:30
