Philippians 2 (WEBP)

[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.

Philippians 2 (KJVS)

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