| # Chapter 2
| If there is therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
| Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
| Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
| Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
| Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
| Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
| But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
| And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
| Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
| That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth;
| And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
| Wherefore, 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.
| For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
| Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
| That 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;
| Holding 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.
| And if I am even offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
| For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
| But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly to you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
| For I have no man like-minded, who will naturally care for your state.
| For all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
| But ye know the proof of him, that as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
| Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
| But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
| Yet 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.
| For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because ye had heard that he was sick.
| For indeed he was sick nigh to death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
| I sent him therefore the more speedily, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
| Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
| Because for the work of Christ he was nigh to death, not regarding his life, to supply the want of your service towards me.
