Philippians 2 — KJVA
2Verse 1If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,Verse 2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.Verse 3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.Verse 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.Verse 5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:Verse 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:Verse 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:Verse 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.Verse 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:Verse 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;Verse 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.Verse 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.Verse 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.Verse 14Do all things without murmurings and disputings:Verse 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;Verse 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.Verse 17Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.Verse 18For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.Verse 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.Verse 20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.Verse 21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.Verse 22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.Verse 23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.Verse 24But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.Verse 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.Verse 26For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.Verse 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.Verse 28I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.Verse 29Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:Verse 30Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
