2:1  Therefore, if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and affection,
2:2  fulfill my joy; so that you are like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord and of one judgment.
2:3  So that nothing is done through self-interest or empty pride. But that in humility, everyone thinks others better than himself.
2:4  Do not be preoccupied with your own things, but rather with the things of others.
2:5  Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus;
2:6  Who, being in the form of God, did not eagerly desire equality with God as a prize.
2:7  But He emptied Himself and took on the form of a servant (and the likeness of a man, having been made).
2:8  He humbled Himself and became obedient to the death - even the death of the cross.
2:9  Therefore, God has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name above every Name.
2:10  That at the Name of Jesus, every knee should bow: in Heaven, and on Earth, and under the Earth.
2:11  And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2:12  Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me - not only in my presence, but now much more so in my absence - work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
2:13  For it is God who works in you - both in your will and in your works - according to His good pleasure.
2:14  Do all things without grumbling or disputing,
2:15  so that you may be blameless and pure children of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a perverted and crooked nation (among whom you shine as lights in the world),
2:16  Hold forth the word of life, so that I may rejoice on the day of Christ that I have not run for nothing or labored for nothing.
2:17  Indeed, and though I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all!
2:18  And likewise also, you be glad and rejoice with me!
2:19  And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you shortly, so that I also may be encouraged when I know your state.
2:20  For I have no one of like mind who will faithfully care for your matters.
2:21  For all seek their own, and not that which is Jesus Christ’s.
2:22  But you know the proof of him who, as a child with his father, has served with me in the Gospel.
2:23  Therefore, I hope to send him as soon as I know how it will go with me.
2:24  And I trust in the Lord that I, myself, shall also come shortly.
2:25  But I thought it necessary to send to you my brother, fellow laborer, and fellow soldier, Epaphroditus (who is now your messenger and minister to my needs).
2:26  For he longed after all of you, and was full of heaviness, because you had heard that he had been sick.
2:27  And no doubt he was sick, very near to death. But God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.
2:28  Therefore, I sent him all the more speedily, so that when you would see him again you might rejoice and I might be the less sorrowful.
2:29  Therefore, receive him in the Lord with all joy. And value such men highly.
2:30  Because he was near death for the work of Christ and did not regard his life, to fulfill that service which was lacking on your part toward me.
