Philippians 2:1-17

Young's Literal Translation

2 If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

² fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing,

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus,

⁶ who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to be equal to God,

⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made,

⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross,

⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that [is] above every name,

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth --

¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,

¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings,

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,

¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

¹⁷ but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
