Philippians 2:1-13

Thomson(i) 1 if therefore there be any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any participation of spirit, if any compassion and tender mercies, 2 complete my joy. In order that you may be like minded, exercising the same love, having your souls knit together, your minds bent on the one thing 3 upon nothing out of a spirit of contention or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind esteeming one another better than yourselves, 4 look not every one to his own interests, but every one of you to the interests also of others. 5 For let this temper of mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus, 6 who being in the form of God did not think it robbery to be like God, 7 but he emptied himself"having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men, 8 and found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even the death of a cross; 9 wherefore God highly exalted him, and granted him a name which is above every name, 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those beneath the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the father. 12 Therefore, as you, my beloved, have always been obedient, not only when I was present, but now much more when I am absent, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is working in you both the will and the power to act.
