Chapter 2

1


 

  If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,  

 

 

-

2


 

  fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,  

 

 

-

3


 

  nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --  

 

 

-

4


 

  each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.  

 

 

-

5


 

  For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,  

 

 

-

6


 

  who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,  

 

 

-

7


 

  but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,  

 

 

-

8


 

  and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,  

 

 

-

9


 

  wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,  

 

 

-

10


 

  that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --  

 

 

-

11


 

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

 

 

-

12


 

  So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,  

 

 

-

13


 

  for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.  

 

 

-

14


 

  All things do without murmurings and reasonings,  

 

 

-

15


 

  that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,  

 

 

-

16


 

  the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;  

 

 

-

17


 

  but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,  

 

 

-

18


 

  because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.  

 

 

-

19


 

  And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you,  

 

 

-

20


 

  for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things concerning you will care,  

 

 

-

21


 

  for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the Christ Jesus,  

 

 

-

22


 

  and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news;  

 

 

-

23


 

  him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see through the things concerning me -- immediately;  

 

 

-

24


 

  and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly come.  

 

 

-

25


 

  And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother, and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and servant to my need -- to send unto you,  

 

 

-

26


 

  seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness, because ye heard that he ailed,  

 

 

-

27


 

  for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow upon sorrow I might not have.  

 

 

-

28


 

  The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less sorrowful;  

 

 

-

29


 

  receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold such in honour,  

 

 

-

30


 

  because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your deficiency of service unto me.
