1If there be therefore3767 any1536 consolation3874 in1722 Christ5547, if any1536 comfort3890 of love26, if any1536 fellowship2842 of the Spirit4151, if any1536 bowels4698 and2532 mercies3628,
2Fulfil ye4137 my3450 joy5479, that2443 ye be likeminded846 5426, having2192 the same846 love26, being of one accord4861, of one1520 mind5426.
3Let nothing3367 be done through2596 strife2052 or2228 vainglory2754; but235 in lowliness of mind5012 let2233 each240 esteem2233 other240 better than5242 themselves1438.
4Look4648 not3361 every man1538 on his own things1438, but235 every man1538 also2532 on the things3588 of others2087.
51063 Let5426 this5124 mind be5426 in1722 you5213, which3739 was also2532 in1722 Christ5547 Jesus2424:
6Who3739, being5225 in1722 the form3444 of God2316, thought it2233 not3756 robbery725 to be1511 equal2470 with God2316:
7But235 made2758 himself1438 of no reputation2758, and took upon him2983 the form3444 of a servant1401, and was made1096 in1722 the likeness3667 of men444:
8And2532 being found2147 in fashion4976 as5613 a man444, he humbled5013 himself1438, and became1096 obedient5255 unto3360 death2288, even1161 the death2288 of the cross4716.
9Wherefore1352 God2316 also2532 hath highly exalted5251 him846, and2532 given5483 him846 a name3686 which3588 is above5228 every3956 name3686:
10That2443 at1722 the name3686 of Jesus2424 every3956 knee1119 should bow2578, of things in heaven2032, and2532 things in earth1919, and2532 things under the earth2709;
11And2532 that every3956 tongue1100 should confess1843 that3754 Jesus2424 Christ5547 is Lord2962, to1519 the glory1391 of God2316 the Father3962.
12Wherefore5620, my3450 beloved27, as2531 ye have5219 always3842 obeyed5219, not3361 as5613 in1722 my3450 presence3952 only3440, but235 now3568 much4183 more3123 in1722 my3450 absence666, work out2716 your own1438 salvation4991 with3326 fear5401 and2532 trembling5156.
13For1063 it is2076 God2316 which3588 worketh1754 in1722 you5213 both2532 to will2309 and2532 to do1754 of5228 his good pleasure2107.
14Do4160 all things3956 without5565 murmurings1112 and2532 disputings1261:
15That2443 ye may be1096 blameless273 and2532 harmless185, the sons5043 of God2316, without rebuke298, in1722 the midst3319 of a crooked4646 and2532 perverse1294 nation1074, among1722 whom3739 ye shine5316 as5613 lights5458 in1722 the world2889;
16Holding forth1907 the word3056 of life2222; that1519 I1698 may rejoice2745 in1519 the day2250 of Christ5547, that3754 I have5143 not3756 run5143 in1519 vain2756, neither3761 laboured2872 in1519 vain2756.
17Yea235, and if1499 I be offered4689 upon1909 the sacrifice2378 and2532 service3009 of your5216 faith4102, I joy5463, and2532 rejoice with4796 you5213 all3956.
18For1161 the same cause846 also2532 do5463 ye5210 joy5463, and2532 rejoice with4796 me3427.
19But1161 I trust1679 in1722 the Lord2962 Jesus2424 to send3992 Timotheus5095 shortly5030 unto you5213, that2443 I also2504 may be of good comfort2174, when I know1097 your5216 state4012.
20For1063 I have2192 no man3762 likeminded2473, who3748 will naturally1104 care3309 for your5216 state4012.
21For1063 all3956 seek2212 their own1438, not3756 the things which are3588 Jesus2424 Christ's5547.
22But1161 ye know1097 the proof1382 of him846, that3754, as5613 a son5043 with the father3962, he hath served1398 with4862 me1698 in1519 the gospel2098.
23Him3303 5126 therefore3767 I hope1679 to send3992 presently1824, so soon as5613 I302 shall see542 how4012 it will go with me1691.
24But1161 I trust3982 in1722 the Lord2962 that3754 I2064 also2532 myself846 shall come2064 shortly5030.
25Yet1161 I supposed2233 it necessary316 to send3992 to4314 you5209 Epaphroditus1891, my3450 brother80, and2532 companion in labour4904, and2532 fellowsoldier4961, but1161 your5216 messenger652, and2532 he that ministered3011 to my3450 wants5532.
26For1894 he2258 longed after1971 you5209 all3956, and2532 was full of heaviness85, because1360 that ye had heard191 that3754 he had been sick770.
27For1063 indeed2532 he was sick770 nigh3897 unto death2288: but235 God2316 had mercy1653 on him846; and1161 not3756 on him846 only3440, but235 on me1691 also2532, lest3363 I should have2192 sorrow3077 upon1909 sorrow3077.
28I sent3992 him846 therefore3767 the more carefully4708, that2443, when ye see1492 him846 again3825, ye may rejoice5463, and that I2504 may be5600 the less sorrowful253.
29Receive4327 him846 therefore3767 in1722 the Lord2962 with3326 all3956 gladness5479; and2532 hold2192 such5108 in reputation1784:
30Because3754 for1223 the work2041 of Christ5547 he was nigh1448 unto3360 death2288, not regarding3851 his life5590, to2443 supply378 your5216 lack5303 of service3009 toward4314 me3165.
