Philippians 2 : King James Version

2 1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ,
if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
bowels and mercies, 2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be
likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on
the things of others. 5Let this mind be in you, which was
also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God,
thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant,
and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in
fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto
death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also
hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every
name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12Wherefore,
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. 13For it is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14Do all
things without murmurings and disputings: 15That 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; 16Holding forth the word of life;
that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in
vain, neither laboured in vain. 17Yea, and if I be
offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and
rejoice with you all. 18For the same cause also do ye
joy, and rejoice with me. 19But I trust in the Lord Jesus
to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good
comfort, when I know your state. 20For I have no man
likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. 21For
all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. 22But
ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath
served with me in the gospel. 23Him therefore I hope to
send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
24But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come
shortly. 25Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier,
but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. 26For
he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye
had heard that he had been sick. 27For 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. 28I
sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again,
ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 29Receive
him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in
reputation: 30Because for the work of Christ he was nigh
unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service
toward me.
