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
American Standard Version
27 Only [a]let your manner of life be worthy of the [b]gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you or be absent, I may hear of your state, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one soul striving [c]for the faith of the [d]gospel; 28 and in nothing affrighted by the adversaries: which is for them an evident token of perdition, but of your salvation, and that from God; 29 because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: 30 having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
2 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any [e]consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2 make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, [f]of one mind;
