Philippians 2:1-18

Philippians 2:1

So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

Philippians 2:2

complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

Philippians 2:4

Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Philippians 2:5

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

Philippians 2:6

who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

Philippians 2:7

but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

Philippians 2:8

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Philippians 2:9

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

Philippians 2:10

so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Philippians 2:11

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:12

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

Philippians 2:13

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:14

Do all things without grumbling or disputing,

Philippians 2:15

that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Philippians 2:16

holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Philippians 2:17

Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Philippians 2:18

Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.
