1ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 there is anyG5100 encouragementG3874 in ChristG5547, ifG1487 anyG5100 consolationG3890 of loveG26, ifG1487 anyG5100 1fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, ifG1487 anyG5100 2 3affectionG4698 and compassionG3628, 2 4makeG4137 my joyG5479 completeG4137 5by 6beingG5426 ofG5426 the sameG846 mindG5426, maintainingG2192 the sameG846 loveG26, unitedG4861 inG4861 spiritG4861, intentG5426 onG5426 oneG1520 purposeG5426. 3Do nothingG3367 7from 8 9selfishnessG2052 orG3366 10emptyG2754 conceitG2754, but with humilityG5012 11considerG2233 oneG240 anotherG240 as moreG5242 importantG5242 than yourselvesG1438; 4 12do not merely lookG4648 outG4648 forG4648 your ownG1438 personalG1538 interests, but alsoG2532 for the interests of othersG2087. 5 13HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 14in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 15ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 6whoG3739, as He already 16existedG5225 in the 17formG3444 of GodG2316, 18did not considerG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 somethingG725 toG725 beG725 19graspedG725, 7but 20 21emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438 by takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 22bond-servantG1401 and 23 24beingG1096 bornG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444. 8And being foundG2147 in appearanceG4976 as a manG444, 25He humbledG5013 HimselfG1438 by becomingG1096 26obedientG5255 to the pointG3360 of deathG2288: 27deathG2288 28on a crossG4716. 9 29For thisG1352 reasonG1352 alsoG2532 GodG2316 30highlyG5251 exaltedG5251 Him, and bestowedG5483 on Him 31the nameG3686 which is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686, 10soG2443 thatG2443 at the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 32everyG3956 kneeG1119 will bowG2578, of 33those who are inG2032 heavenG2032 and onG1919 earthG1919 and underG2709 theG2709 earthG2709, 11and that everyG3956 tongueG1100 will confessG1843 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is 34LordG2962, to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

12SoG5620 thenG5620, my belovedG27, 35justG2531 asG2531 you have alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, not as in my presenceG3952 onlyG3440, but nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 in my absenceG666, workG2716 outG2716 your ownG1438 36salvationG4991 with 37fearG5401 and tremblingG5156; 13for it is 38GodG2316 who isG1754 atG1754 workG1754 in you, bothG2532 to 39desireG2309 and to workG1754 40for His goodG2107 pleasureG2107.
