[1]If there be thereforeG3767 anyG1536 consolationG3874 inG1722 ChristG5547, if anyG1536 comfortG3890 of loveG26, if anyG1536 fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, if anyG1536 bowelsG4698 andG2532 merciesG3628,
[2]Fulfil yeG4137[G5657] myG3450 joyG5479, thatG2443 ye be likemindedG846[G5426][G5725], havingG2192[G5723] the sameG846 loveG26, being of one accordG4861, of oneG1520 mindG5426.[G5723]
[3]Let nothingG3367 be done throughG2596 strifeG2052 orG2228 vaingloryG2754; butG235 in lowliness of mindG5012 letG2233 eachG240 esteemG2233[G5740] otherG240 better thanG5242[G5723] themselvesG1438.
[4]LookG4648[G5720] notG3361 every manG1538 on his own thingsG1438, butG235 every manG1538 alsoG2532 on the thingsG3588 of othersG2087.
[5][G1063]LetG5426 thisG5124 mind beG5426[G5744] inG1722 youG5213, whichG3739 was alsoG2532 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424:
[6]WhoG3739, beingG5225[G5723] inG1722 the formG3444 of GodG2316, thought itG2233[G5662] notG3756 robberyG725 to beG1511[G5750] equalG2470 with GodG2316:
[7]ButG235 madeG2758 himselfG1438 of no reputationG2758[G5656], and took upon himG2983[G5631] the formG3444 of a servantG1401, and was madeG1096[G5637] inG1722 the likenessG3667 of menG444:
[8]AndG2532 being foundG2147[G5685] in fashionG4976 asG5613 a manG444, he humbledG5013[G5656] himselfG1438, and becameG1096[G5637] obedientG5255 untoG3360 deathG2288, evenG1161 the deathG2288 of the crossG4716.
[9]WhereforeG1352 GodG2316 alsoG2532 hath highly exaltedG5251[G5656] himG846, andG2532 givenG5483[G5662] himG846 a nameG3686 whichG3588 is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686:
[10]ThatG2443 atG1722 the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 everyG3956 kneeG1119 should bowG2578[G5661], of things in heavenG2032, andG2532 things in earthG1919, andG2532 things under the earthG2709;
[11]AndG2532 that everyG3956 tongueG1100 should confessG1843[G5672] thatG3754 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is LordG2962, toG1519 the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
[12]WhereforeG5620, myG3450 belovedG27, asG2531 ye haveG5219 alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219[G5656], notG3361 asG5613 inG1722 myG3450 presenceG3952 onlyG3440, butG235 nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 inG1722 myG3450 absenceG666, work outG2716[G5737] your ownG1438 salvationG4991 withG3326 fearG5401 andG2532 tremblingG5156.
[13]ForG1063 it isG2076[G5748] GodG2316 whichG3588 workethG1754[G5723] inG1722 youG5213 bothG2532 to willG2309[G5721] andG2532 to doG1754[G5721] ofG5228 his good pleasureG2107.
[14]DoG4160[G5720] all thingsG3956 withoutG5565 murmuringsG1112 andG2532 disputingsG1261:
[15]ThatG2443 ye may beG1096[G5638] blamelessG273 andG2532 harmlessG185, the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, without rebukeG298, inG1722 the midstG3319 of a crookedG4646 andG2532 perverseG1294[G5772] nationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 ye shineG5316[G5743] asG5613 lightsG5458 inG1722 the worldG2889;
[16]Holding forthG1907[G5723] the wordG3056 of lifeG2222; thatG1519 IG1698 may rejoiceG2745 inG1519 the dayG2250 of ChristG5547, thatG3754 I haveG5143 notG3756 runG5143[G5627] inG1519 vainG2756, neitherG3761 labouredG2872[G5656] inG1519 vainG2756.
[17]YeaG235, and ifG1499 I be offeredG4689[G5743] uponG1909 the sacrificeG2378 andG2532 serviceG3009 of yourG5216 faithG4102, I joyG5463[G5719], andG2532 rejoice withG4796[G5719] youG5213 allG3956.
[18]ForG1161 the same causeG846 alsoG2532 doG5463 yeG5210 joyG5463[G5720], andG2532 rejoice withG4796[G5720] meG3427.
[19]ButG1161 I trustG1679[G5719] inG1722 the LordG2962 JesusG2424 to sendG3992[G5658] TimotheusG5095 shortlyG5030 unto youG5213, thatG2443 I alsoG2504 may be of good comfortG2174[G5725], when I knowG1097[G5631] yourG5216 stateG4012.
[20]ForG1063 I haveG2192[G5719] no manG3762 likemindedG2473, whoG3748 will naturallyG1104 careG3309[G5692] for yourG5216 stateG4012.
[21]ForG1063 allG3956 seekG2212[G5719] their ownG1438, notG3756 the things which areG3588 JesusG2424 Christ'sG5547.
[22]ButG1161 ye knowG1097[G5719] the proofG1382 of himG846, thatG3754, asG5613 a sonG5043 with the fatherG3962, he hath servedG1398[G5656] withG4862 meG1698 inG1519 the gospelG2098.
[23]HimG3303[G5126] thereforeG3767 I hopeG1679[G5719] to sendG3992[G5658] presentlyG1824, so soon asG5613 IG302 shall seeG542[G5632] howG4012 it will go with meG1691.
[24]ButG1161 I trustG3982[G5754] inG1722 the LordG2962 thatG3754 IG2064 alsoG2532 myselfG846 shall comeG2064[G5695] shortlyG5030.
[25]YetG1161 I supposedG2233[G5662] it necessaryG316 to sendG3992[G5658] toG4314 youG5209 EpaphroditusG1891, myG3450 brotherG80, andG2532 companion in labourG4904, andG2532 fellowsoldierG4961, butG1161 yourG5216 messengerG652, andG2532 he that ministeredG3011 to myG3450 wantsG5532.
[26]ForG1894 heG2258[G5713] longed afterG1971[G5723] youG5209 allG3956, andG2532 was full of heavinessG85[G5723], becauseG1360 that ye had heardG191[G5656] thatG3754 he had been sickG770.[G5656]
[27]ForG1063 indeedG2532 he was sickG770[G5656] nighG3897 unto deathG2288: butG235 GodG2316 had mercyG1653[G5656] on himG846; andG1161 notG3756 on himG846 onlyG3440, butG235 on meG1691 alsoG2532, lestG3363 I should haveG2192[G5632] sorrowG3077 uponG1909 sorrowG3077.
[28]I sentG3992[G5656] himG846 thereforeG3767 the more carefullyG4708, thatG2443, when ye seeG1492[G5631] himG846 againG3825, ye may rejoiceG5463[G5647], and that IG2504 may beG5600[G5753] the less sorrowfulG253.
[29]ReceiveG4327[G5737] himG846 thereforeG3767 inG1722 the LordG2962 withG3326 allG3956 gladnessG5479; andG2532 holdG2192[G5720] suchG5108 in reputationG1784:
[30]BecauseG3754 forG1223 the workG2041 of ChristG5547 he was nighG1448[G5656] untoG3360 deathG2288, not regardingG3851[G5666] his lifeG5590, toG2443 supplyG378[G5661] yourG5216 lackG5303 of serviceG3009 towardG4314 meG3165.
