[1] If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, [2] make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; [3] doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; [4] each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. [5] Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, [6] who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, [7] but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. [8] And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross. [9] Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name, [10] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, [11] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. [12] So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. [13] For it is God who works in you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. [14] Do all things without complaining and arguing, [15] that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world, [16] holding up the word of life, that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ that I didn’t run in vain nor labor in vain. [17] Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. [18] In the same way, you also should be glad and rejoice with me. [19] But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing. [20] For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you. [21] For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. [22] But you know that he has proved himself. As a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News. [23] Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me. [24] But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly. [25] But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need, [26] since he longed for you all, and was very troubled because you had heard that he was sick. [27] For indeed he was sick nearly to death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow. [28] I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. [29] Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor, [30] because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me.

The Mind of Christ

[1] If G1487 there be therefore G3767 any G5100 consolation G3874 in G1722 Christ, G5547 if G1487 any G5100 comfort G3890 of love, G26 if G1487 any G5100 fellowship G2842 of the Spirit, G4151 if G1487 any G5100 bowels G4698 and G2532 mercies, G3628 [2] fulfil ye G4137 my G3450 joy, G5479 that G2443 ye be likeminded, G846 G5426 having G2192 the G3588 same G846 love, G26 being of one accord, G4861 of one G1520 mind. G5426 [3] Let nothing G3367 be done through G2596 strife G2052 or G2228 vainglory; G2754 but G235 in lowliness of mind G5012 let G2233 each G240 esteem G2233 other G240 better than G5242 themselves. G1438 [4] Look G4648 not G3361 every man G1538 on G4648 his own G1438 things, G3588 but G235 every man G1538 also G2532 on G4648 the things G3588 of others. G2087 [5] Let G5426 this G5124 G1063 mind be G5426 in G1722 you, G5213 which G3739 was also G2532 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus: G2424 [6] who, G3739 being G5225 in G1722 the form G3444 of God, G2316 thought it G2233 not G3756 robbery G725 to be G1511 equal G2470 with God: G2316 [7] but G235 made G2758 himself G1438 of no reputation, G2758 and took upon him G2983 the form G3444 of a servant, G1401 and was made G1096 in G1722 the likeness G3667§ of men: G444 [8] and G2532 being found G2147 in fashion G4976 as G5613 a man, G444 he humbled G5013 himself, G1438 and became G1096 obedient G5255 unto G3360 death, G2288 even G1161 the death G2288 of the cross. G4716 [9] Wherefore G1352 God G2316 also G2532 hath highly exalted G5251 him, G846 and G2532 given G5483 him G846 a name G3686 which G3588 is above G5228 every G3956 name: G3686 [10] that G2443 at G1722 the G3588 name G3686 of Jesus G2424 every G3956 knee G1119 should bow, G2578 of G2032 things in heaven, G2032 and G2532 things in earth, G1919 and G2532 things under the earth; G2709 [11] and G2532 that every G3956 tongue G1100 should confess G1843 that G3754 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 is Lord, G2962 to G1519 the glory G1391 of God G2316 the Father. G3962 [12] Wherefore, G5620 my G3450 beloved, G27 as G2531 ye have G5219 always G3842 obeyed, G5219 not G3361 as G5613 in G1722 my G3450 presence G3952 only, G3440 but G235 now G3568 much G4183 more G3123 in G1722 my G3450 absence, G666 work out G2716 your own G1438 salvation G4991 with G3326 fear G5401 and G2532 trembling. G5156 [13] For G1063 it is G2076 God G2316 which G3588 worketh G1754 in G1722 you G5213 both G2532 to will G2309 and G2532 to do G1754 of G5228 his good pleasure. G2107 [14] Do G4160 all things G3956 without G5565 murmurings G1112 and G2532 disputings: G1261 [15] that G2443 ye may be G1096 blameless G273 and G2532 harmless, G185§ the sons G5043 of God, G2316 without rebuke, G298 in G1722 the midst G3319 of a crooked G4646 and G2532 perverse G1294 nation, G1074 among G1722 whom G3739 ye shine G5316§ as G5613 lights G5458 in G1722 the world; G2889 [16] holding forth G1907 the word G3056 of life; G2222 that G1519 I G1698 may rejoice G2745 in G1519 the day G2250 of Christ, G5547 that G3754 I have G5143 not G3756 run G5143 in G1519 vain, G2756 neither G3761 laboured G2872 in G1519 vain. G2756 [17] Yea, G235 and G2532 if G1487 I be offered G4689§ upon G1909 the G3588 sacrifice G2378 and G2532 service G3009 of your G5216 faith, G4102 I joy, G5463 and G2532 rejoice with G4796 you G5213 all. G3956 [18] For G1161 the G3588 same cause G846 also G2532 do ye G5210 joy, G5463 and G2532 rejoice with G4796 me. G3427 [19] But G1161§ I trust G1679 in G1722 the Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 to send G3992 Timotheus G5095 shortly G5030 unto you, G5213 that G2443 I also G2504 may be of good comfort, G2174 when I know G1097 your G5216 state. G4012 [20] For G1063 I have G2192 no man G3762 likeminded, G2473§ who G3748 will G3309 naturally G1104 care G3309 for G4012 your G5216 state. G3588 [21] For G1063 all G3956 seek G2212 their own, G1438 not G3756 the things G3588 which are Jesus G2424 Christ’s. G5547 [22] But G1161 ye know G1097 the proof G1382 of him, G846 that, G3754 as G5613 a son G5043 with the father, G3962 he hath served G1398 with G4862 me G1698 in G1519 the G3588 gospel. G2098 [23] Him G5126 G3303 therefore G3767 I hope G1679 to send G3992 presently, G1824 so soon as G5613 G302 I G872 shall see G872 how G3588 it will go with G4012 me. G1691 [24] But G1161 I trust G3982 in G1722 the Lord G2962 that G3754 I G2064 also G2532 myself G846 shall come G2064 shortly. G5030 [25] Yet G1161 I supposed G2233 it necessary G316 to send G3992 to G4314 you G5209 Epaphroditus, G1891 my G3450 brother, G80 and G2532 companion in labour, G4904 and G2532 fellowsoldier, G4961 but G1161 your G5216 messenger, G652 and G2532 he that ministered G3011 to my G3450 wants. G5532 [26] For G1894 he longed after G1971 G2258 you G5209 all, G3956 and G2532 was full of heaviness, G85 because that G1360 ye had heard G191 that G3754 he had been sick. G770 [27] For G1063 indeed G2532 he was sick G770 nigh G3897 unto death: G2288 but G235 God G2316 had mercy G1653 on him; G846 and G1161 not G3756 on him G846 only, G3440 but G235 on me G1691 also, G2532 lest G2443 G3361 I should have G2192 sorrow G3077 upon G1909 sorrow. G3077 [28] I sent G3992 him G846 therefore G3767 the more carefully, G4708 that, G2443 when ye see G1492 him G846 again, G3825 ye may rejoice, G5463 and G2504 that I G2504 may be G5600 the less sorrowful. G253 [29] Receive G4327 him G846 therefore G3767 in G1722 the Lord G2962 with G3326 all G3956 gladness; G5479 and G2532 hold G2192 such G5108§ in reputation: G1784 [30] because G3754 for G1223 the G3588 work G2041 of Christ G5547 he was nigh G1448 unto G3360 death, G2288 not regarding G3851 his G3588 life, G5590 to G2443 supply G378 your G5216 lack G5303 of service G3009 toward G4314 me.
