Philippians 2

1 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,NHEB — Philippians 2:1

2 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;NHEB — Philippians 2:2

3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;NHEB — Philippians 2:3

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

5 Have this in your attitude, which was also in Christ Jesus,NHEB — Philippians 2:5

6 who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,NHEB — Philippians 2:6

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

8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.NHEB — Philippians 2:8

9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;NHEB — Philippians 2:9

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

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

12 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 awe and reverence.NHEB — Philippians 2:12

13 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.NHEB — Philippians 2:13

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,NHEB — Philippians 2:14

15 that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,NHEB — Philippians 2:15

16 holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.NHEB — Philippians 2:16

17 Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all.NHEB — Philippians 2:17

18 In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me.NHEB — Philippians 2:18

19 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.NHEB — Philippians 2:19

20 For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you.NHEB — Philippians 2:20

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

22 But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News.NHEB — Philippians 2:22

23 Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me.NHEB — Philippians 2:23

24 But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly.NHEB — Philippians 2:24

25 But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need;NHEB — Philippians 2:25

26 since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick.NHEB — Philippians 2:26

27 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.NHEB — Philippians 2:27

28 I have sent him all the more eagerly, therefore, so that when you see him again you may rejoice, and that I may be less anxious.NHEB — Philippians 2:28

29 Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,NHEB — Philippians 2:29

30 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.NHEB — Philippians 2:30
