Philippians 2

1IfG1487 there be thereforeG3767 anyG5100 consolationG3874 inG1722 ChristG5547, ifG1487 anyG5100 comfortG3890 of loveG26, ifG1487 anyG5100 fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, ifG1487 anyG5100 bowelsG4698 andG2532 merciesG3628, 2Fulfil yeG4137 myG1473 joyG3588G5479, thatG2443 ye be likemindedG3588G846G5426, havingG2192 theG26 sameG3588G846 loveG26, being of one accordG4861, of oneG3588G1520 mindG5426.

3Let nothingG3367 be done throughG2596 strifeG2052 orG2228 vaingloryG2754; butG235 in lowliness of mindG3588G5012 letG2233 eachG240 esteemG2233 otherG240 betterG5242 than themselvesG1438.

4LookG4648 notG3361 every manG1538 on his own thingsG1438, butG235 every manG1538 alsoG2532 on the things of othersG2087. 5LetG1063 thisG3778 mind beG5426 inG1722 youG4771, which wasG3739 alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424: 6WhoG3739, beingG5225 inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233 notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1510 equalG2470 with GodG2316: 7ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758, and took upon himG2983 the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444: 8AndG2532 being foundG2147 in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013 himselfG1438, and becameG1096 obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716.

9WhereforeG1352 GodG3588G2316 alsoG2532 hath highly exaltedG5251 himG846, andG2532 givenG5483 himG846 a nameG3686 which isG3588 aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686: 10ThatG2443 atG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of JesusG2424 everyG3956 kneeG1119 should bowG2578, ofG2032 things in heavenG2032, andG2532 things in earthG1919, andG2532 things under the earthG2709; 11AndG2532 that everyG3956 tongueG1100 should confessG1843 thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is LordG2962, toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.

12WhereforeG5620, myG1473 belovedG27, asG2531 ye haveG5219 alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, notG3361 asG5613 inG1722 myG1473 presenceG3588G3952 onlyG3440, butG235 nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 inG1722 myG1473 absenceG3588G666, work outG2716 your ownG1438 salvationG4991 withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156. 13ForG1063 it isG1510 GodG3588G2316 whichG3588 workethG1754 inG1722 youG4771 bothG2532 to willG2309 andG2532 to doG1754 ofG5228 his good pleasureG3588G2107.

14DoG4160 all thingsG3956 withoutG5565 murmuringsG1112 andG2532 disputingsG1261: 15ThatG2443 ye may beG1096 blamelessG273 andG2532 harmlessG185, the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, without rebukeG298, inG1722 the midstG3319 of aG1074 crookedG4646 andG2532 perverseG1294 generationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 ye shineG5316 asG5613 lightsG5458 inG1722 the worldG2889;

16Holding forthG1907 the wordG3056 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 IG1473 may rejoiceG2745 inG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 I haveG5143 notG3756 runG5143 inG1519 vainG2756, neitherG3761 labouredG2872 inG1519 vainG2756. 17YeaG235, andG2532 ifG1487 I be offeredG4689 uponG1909 the sacrificeG3588G2378 andG2532 serviceG3009 ofG3588G4102 yourG4771 faithG3588G4102, I joyG5463, andG2532 rejoiceG4796 with youG4771 allG3956. 18ForG1161 the same causeG846 alsoG2532 doG5463 yeG4771 joyG5463, andG2532 rejoice withG4796 meG1473.

19ButG1161 I trustG1679 inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to sendG3992 TimothyG5095 shortlyG5030 unto youG4771, thatG2443 I alsoG2504 may be of good comfortG2174, when I knowG1097 yourG4771 stateG4012. 20ForG1063 I haveG2192 no manG3762 likemindedG2473, whoG3748 willG3309 naturallyG1104 care forG3309 yourG4771 stateG4012.

21ForG1063 allG3956 seekG2212 their ownG1438, notG3756 the things which areG3588 JesusG2424 Christ’sG3588G5547. 22ButG1161 ye knowG1097 the proofG1382 of himG846, thatG3754, asG5613 a sonG5043 with the fatherG3962, he hath servedG1398 withG4862 meG1473 inG1519 the gospelG3588G2098. 23HimG3778 thereforeG3767 I hopeG1679 to sendG3992 presentlyG1824, so soon asG5613 I shall seeG872 how it will go withG4012 meG1473. 24ButG1161 I trustG3982 inG1722 the LordG2962 thatG3754 IG2064 alsoG2532 myselfG846 shall comeG2064 shortlyG5030. 25YetG1161 I supposed itG2233 necessaryG316 to sendG3992 toG4314 youG4771 EpaphroditusG1891, myG1473 brotherG3588G80, andG2532 companion in labourG4904, andG2532 fellowsoldierG4961, butG1161 yourG4771 messengerG652, andG2532 he that ministeredG3011 toG3588G5532 myG1473 wantsG3588G5532. 26ForG1894 he longed afterG1971 youG4771 allG3956, andG2532 was full of heavinessG85, because thatG1360 ye had heardG191 thatG3754 he had been sickG770. 27ForG1063 indeedG2532 he was sickG770 nigh untoG3897 deathG2288: butG235 GodG3588G2316 had mercy onG1653 himG846; andG1161 notG3756 on himG846 onlyG3440, butG235 on meG1473 alsoG2532, lestG3361 I should haveG2192 sorrowG3077 uponG1909 sorrowG3077. 28I sentG3992 himG846 thereforeG3767 the more carefullyG4708, thatG2443, when ye seeG3708 himG846 againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463, and that IG2504 may beG1510 the less sorrowfulG253. 29ReceiveG4327 himG846 thereforeG3767 inG1722 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 gladnessG5479; andG2532 holdG2192 suchG5108 in reputationG1784: 30BecauseG3754 forG1223 the workG3588G2041 of ChristG3588G5547 he was nighG1448 untoG3360 deathG2288, not regardingG3851 his lifeG3588G5590, to supplyG378 yourG4771 lackG5303 of serviceG3009 towardG4314 meG1473.
