Philippians 2
2
CHAPTER 2
1Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing,
2 [ful] fill ye my joy, that ye under-stand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing;
3nothing [doing] by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher [in virtue] than himself;
4not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men.
5And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;
6which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God [or himself to be even to God],
7but he lowed [or meeked] himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,
8and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross.
9For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name;
10that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell’s;
11and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.
12Therefore, my most dearworthy brethren, as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.
13For it is God that worketh in you, both to will, and to perform, for good will.
14And do ye all things without grutchings, and doubtings;
15that ye be without complaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a shrewd nation and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world.
16And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain.
17But though I be offered or slain on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all.
18And for the same thing have ye joy, and [together] thank ye me.
19And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you, that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.
20For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.
21For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.
22But know ye the assay of him, for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.
23Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, anon as I see what things be about me.
24And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.
25And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.
26For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.
27For he was sick to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness.
28Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.
29Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.
30For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service.
