Philippians 1:27-2:2
Legacy Standard Bible

27 Only [a]live your lives in a manner (A)worthy of the (B)gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear about your circumstances, that you are (C)standing firm in (D)one spirit, with one [b]mind (E)contending together for the faith of the gospel, 28 in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a (F)sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God. 29 For to you (G)it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to (H)suffer for His sake, 30 having the same (I)struggle which (J)you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Christ’s Humility and Exaltation

2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any (K)fellowship of the Spirit, if any [c](L)affection and compassion, 2 (M)fulfill my joy, that (N)you think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose,

Philippians 1:27-2:2
New International Version

Life Worthy of the Gospel

27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy(A) of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm(B) in the one Spirit,[a] striving together(C) as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved—and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you(D) on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer(E) for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle(F) you saw(G) I had, and now hear(H) that I still have.

Imitating Christ’s Humility

2 Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,(I) if any tenderness and compassion,(J) 2 then make my joy complete(K) by being like-minded,(L) having the same love, being one(M) in spirit and of one mind.
