1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,⇆ compare2Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.⇆ compare3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.⇆ compare4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.⇆ compare5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:⇆ compare6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:⇆ compare7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:⇆ compare8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.⇆ compare9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:⇆ compare10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;⇆ compare11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.⇆ compare12Wherefore, my beloved, 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.⇆ compare13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.⇆ compare14Do all things without murmurings and disputings:⇆ compare15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;⇆ compare16Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.⇆ compare17Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.⇆ compare18For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.⇆ compare19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.⇆ compare20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.⇆ compare21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.⇆ compare22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.⇆ compare23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.⇆ compare24But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.⇆ compare25Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labor, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.⇆ compare26For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.⇆ compare27For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.⇆ compare28I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.⇆ compare29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:⇆ compare30Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.⇆ compare
