Philippians 2:1-18

[1] If there be therefore  consolation  in  Christ,  comfort  of love,  fellowship  of the Spirit,  bowels  and  mercies,  [2] Fulfil ye  joy,  that  ye be likeminded,  having  the same  love,  being of one accord,  of one  mind.  [3] Let nothing  be done through  strife  vainglory;  but  in lowliness of mind  esteem  other  better than  themselves.  [4] Look  not  every man  on his own things,  but  every man  also  on the things  of others.  [5] mind be  in  which  was also  in  Christ  Jesus:  [6] Who,  being  in  the form  of God,  thought it  not  robbery  equal  with God:  [7] But  himself  of no reputation,  and took upon him  the form  of a servant,  and was made  in  the likeness  of men:  [8] And  being found  in fashion  as  a man,  he humbled  himself,  and became  obedient  unto  death,  even  the death  of the cross.  [9] Wherefore  God  also  hath highly exalted  him,  and  given  him  a name  which  is above  every  name:  [10] That  at  the name  of Jesus  every  knee  should bow,  of things in heaven,  and  things in earth,  and  things under the earth;  [11] And  that every  tongue  should confess  that  Jesus  Christ  is Lord,  to  the glory  of God  the Father.  [12] Wherefore,  beloved,  as  always  obeyed,  not  as  in  presence  only,  but  now  much  more  in  absence,  work out  your own  salvation  with  fear  and  trembling.  [13] For  God  which  worketh  in  both  to will  and  to do  of  his good pleasure.  [14] Do  all things  without  murmurings  and  disputings:  [15] That  ye may be  blameless  and  harmless,  the sons  of God,  in  the midst  of a crooked  and  perverse  nation,  among  whom  ye shine  as  lights  in  the world;  [16] Holding forth  the word  of life;  that  may rejoice  in  the day  of Christ,  that  not  run  in  vain,  neither  laboured  in  vain.  [17] Yea,  I be offered  upon  the sacrifice  and  service  faith,  I joy,  and  rejoice with  all.  [18] For  the same cause  also  joy,  and  rejoice with
