  1. Philippians 2:1 Or encouragement

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

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

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

Do nothing [c]from [d](E)selfishness or (F)empty conceit, but with humility (G)consider one another as more important than yourselves; (H)do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
