Philippians 1:27-2:2
New American Standard Bible

27 Only conduct yourselves 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 you that you are (C)standing firm in (D)one spirit, with one [a]mind (E)striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28 and in no way alarmed by your opponents—which is a (F)sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and this 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 on His behalf, 30 experiencing the same (I)conflict which (J)you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Be like Christ

2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any (K)fellowship of the Spirit, if any [b](L)affection and compassion, 2 (M)make my joy complete [c]by (N)being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

Philippians 1:27-2:2
International Standard Version

Standing Firm in One Spirit

27 The only thing that matters is that you continue to live as good citizens in a manner worthy of the gospel of the Messiah.[a] Then, whether I come to see you or whether I stay away, I may hear all about you—that you are standing firm in one spirit, struggling with one mind for the faith of the gospel, 28 and that you are not intimidated by your opponents in any way. This is evidence that they will be destroyed and that you will be saved—and all because of[b] God. 29 For you have been given the privilege[c] for the Messiah’s[d] sake not only to believe in him but also to suffer for him. 30 You have the same struggle that you saw in me and now hear that I am still having.[e]

Unity through Humility

2 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in the Messiah,[f] if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit, if there is any compassion and sympathy, 2 then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind.

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.
