Philippians Chapter 2 Darby English Bible

Philippians 2:1

If then [there be] any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of [the] Spirit, if any bowels and compassions,

Philippians 2:2

fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing;

Philippians 2:3

[let] nothing [be] in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves;

Philippians 2:4

regarding not each his own [qualities], but each those of others also.

Philippians 2:5

For let this mind be in you which [was] also in Christ Jesus;

Philippians 2:6

who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God;

Philippians 2:7

but emptied himself, taking a bondman's form, taking his place in [the] likeness of men;

Philippians 2:8

and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and [that the] death of [the] cross.

Philippians 2:9

Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,

Philippians 2:10

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal [beings],

Philippians 2:11

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord to God [the] Father's glory.

Philippians 2:12

So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

Philippians 2:13

for it is God who works in you both the willing and the working according to [his] good pleasure.

Philippians 2:14

Do all things without murmurings and reasonings,

Philippians 2:15

that ye may be harmless and simple, irreproachable children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation; among whom ye appear as lights in [the] world,

Philippians 2:16

holding forth [the] word of life, so as to be a boast for me in Christ's day, that I have not run in vain nor laboured in vain.

Philippians 2:17

But if also I am poured out as a libation on the sacrifice and ministration of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice in common with you all.

Philippians 2:18

In like manner do *ye* also rejoice, and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2:19

But I hope in [the] Lord Jesus to send Timotheus to you shortly, that *I* also may be refreshed, knowing how ye get on.

Philippians 2:20

For I have no one like-minded who will care with genuine feeling how ye get on.

Philippians 2:21

For all seek their own things, not the things of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:22

But ye know the proof of him, that, as a child a father, he has served with me in the work of the glad tidings.

Philippians 2:23

Him therefore I hope to send immediately, as soon as I shall see how it goes with me:

Philippians 2:24

but I trust in [the] Lord that I myself also shall soon come;

Philippians 2:25

but I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow-workman and fellow-soldier, but your messenger and minister to my need,

Philippians 2:26

since he had a longing desire after you all, and was distressed because ye had heard that he was sick;

Philippians 2:27

for he was also sick close to death, but God had mercy on him, and not indeed on him alone, but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.

Philippians 2:28

I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that seeing him ye might again rejoice, and that *I* might be the less sorrowful.

Philippians 2:29

Receive him therefore in [the] Lord with all joy, and hold such in honour;

Philippians 2:30

because for the sake of the work he drew near even to death, venturing his life that he might fill up what lacked in your ministration toward me.
