Philippians 2

¹If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

²fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing — having the same love — of one soul — minding the one thing,

³nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves —

⁴each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

⁵For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,

⁶who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,

⁷but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

⁸and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death — death even of a cross,

⁹wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,

¹⁰that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow — of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth —

¹¹and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹²So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

¹³for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
