Philippians 1:27-2:2
English Standard Version
27 Only (A)let your manner of life be (B)worthy[a] of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you (C)that you are standing firm in one spirit, with (D)one mind (E)striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, 28 and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is (F)a clear sign to them of their destruction, but (G)of your salvation, and that from God. 29 For (H)it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also (I)suffer for his sake, 30 engaged in the same (J)conflict that (K)you saw I had and now hear that I still have.
Christ's Example of Humility
2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from (L)love, any (M)participation in the Spirit, any (N)affection and sympathy, 2 (O)complete my joy by being (P)of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

Philippians 1:27-2:2
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 Just one thing: Live your life(A) in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm(B) in one(C) spirit, with one mind,[a] working side by side for the faith(D) that comes from the gospel, 28 not being frightened in any way by your opponents.(E) This is a sign of destruction for them,(F) but of your deliverance(G)—and this is from God. 29 For it has been given to you on Christ’s behalf not only to believe(H) in Him, but also to suffer for Him, 30 having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I have.
Christian Humility
2 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love,(I) if any fellowship with the Spirit,(J) if any affection and mercy,(K) 2 fulfill my joy by thinking the same way,(L) having the same love,(M) sharing the same feelings, focusing on one(N) goal.
