Book of Common Prayer
Fill Up My Joy By Being United In Love And Humility
2 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of [a] love, if any fellowship[b] of the Spirit, if any deep-feelings and compassions, 2 fill-up my joy, which is that you be thinking the same thing[c], having the same love, united-in-spirit, thinking[d] the one thing, 3 doing nothing based-on selfish-interest nor based on conceit, but with humble-mindedness regarding one another as surpassing[e] yourselves; 4 not each looking-out-for your own things, but also each the things of others.
Think And Behave Like Christ Did
5 Be thinking[f] this in you, which also was in Christ Jesus— 6 Who, while[g] being[h] in the form[i] of God, did not regard the being equal with God a thing-to-be-grasped[j], 7 but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a slave, having come[k] in the likeness[l] of humans[m]. And having been found as a man in outward-appearance, 8 He humbled Himself, having become obedient to the point of death— and a death of a cross! 9 Therefore God also highly-exalted Him, and granted Him the name above every name 10 in-order-that every knee should bow at the name of Jesus— of heavenly ones and earthly ones and ones under-the-earth— 11 and every tongue should confess-out[n] that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
41 And when He drew-near, having seen the city, He wept over it, 42 saying that “If you, even you, had known on this day the things for peace! But now[a] they were hidden from your eyes. 43 Because days will come upon you— and your enemies will throw-up a palisade[b] against you, and encircle you, and confine you from all sides. 44 And they will dash[c] you to the ground, and your children within you. And they will not leave a stone upon a stone within you, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation”.
Jesus Throws The Merchandisers Out of The Temple. The Priests Seek To Destroy Him
45 And having entered into the temple, He began to throw-out the ones selling, 46 saying to them, “It has been written [in Isa 56:7]: ‘And My house shall be a house of prayer’. But you made it a den of robbers[d]”. 47 And He was teaching daily in the temple. And the chief priests and the scribes and the leading ones of the people were seeking to destroy Him. 48 And they were not finding what they might do, for all the people hung-on[e] Him, listening.
