2:1 If [there be] therefore 3767 any 1536 consolation 3874 in 1722 Christ 5547, if any 1536 comfort 3890 of love 26, if any 1536 fellowship 2842 of the Spirit 4151, if any 1536 bowels 4698 and 2532 mercies 3628,

2:2 Fulfil ye 4137 5657 my 3450 joy 5479, that 2443 ye be likeminded 846 5426 5725, having 2192 5723 the same 846 love 26, [being] of one accord 4861, of one 1520 mind 5426 5723.

2:3 [Let] nothing 3367 [be done] through 2596 strife 2052 or 2228 vainglory 2754; but 235 in lowliness of mind 5012 let 2233 0 each 240 0 esteem 2233 5740 other 240 better than 5242 5723 themselves 1438.

2:4 Look 4648 5720 not 3361 every man 1538 on his own things 1438, but 235 every man 1538 also 2532 on the things 3588 of others 2087.

2:5 1063 Let 5426 0 this 5124 mind be 5426 5744 in 1722 you 5213, which 3739 was also 2532 in 1722 Christ 5547 Jesus 2424:

2:6 Who 3739, being 5225 5723 in 1722 the form 3444 of God 2316, thought it 2233 5662 not 3756 robbery 725 to be 1511 5750 equal 2470 with God 2316:

2:7 But 235 made 2758 0 himself 1438 of no reputation 2758 5656, and took upon him 2983 5631 the form 3444 of a servant 1401, and was made 1096 5637 in 1722 the likeness 3667 of men 444:

2:8 And 2532 being found 2147 5685 in fashion 4976 as 5613 a man 444, he humbled 5013 5656 himself 1438, and became 1096 5637 obedient 5255 unto 3360 death 2288, even 1161 the death 2288 of the cross 4716.(fashion: or habit)

2:9 Wherefore 1352 God 2316 also 2532 hath highly exalted 5251 5656 him 846, and 2532 given 5483 5662 him 846 a name 3686 which 3588 is above 5228 every 3956 name 3686:

2:10 That 2443 at 1722 the name 3686 of Jesus 2424 every 3956 knee 1119 should bow 2578 5661, of [things] in heaven 2032, and 2532 [things] in earth 1919, and 2532 [things] under the earth 2709;

2:11 And 2532 [that] every 3956 tongue 1100 should confess 1843 5672 that 3754 Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 [is] Lord 2962, to 1519 the glory 1391 of God 2316 the Father 3962.

2:12 Wherefore 5620, my 3450 beloved 27, as 2531 ye have 5219 0 always 3842 obeyed 5219 5656, not 3361 as 5613 in 1722 my 3450 presence 3952 only 3440, but 235 now 3568 much 4183 more 3123 in 1722 my 3450 absence 666, work out 2716 5737 your own 1438 salvation 4991 with 3326 fear 5401 and 2532 trembling 5156.

2:13 For 1063 it is 2076 5748 God 2316 which 3588 worketh 1754 5723 in 1722 you 5213 both 2532 to will 2309 5721 and 2532 to do 1754 5721 of 5228 [his] good pleasure 2107.

2:14 Do 4160 5720 all things 3956 without 5565 murmurings 1112 and 2532 disputings 1261:

2:15 That 2443 ye may be 1096 5638 blameless 273 and 2532 harmless 185, the sons 5043 of God 2316, without rebuke 298, in 1722 the midst 3319 of a crooked 4646 and 2532 perverse 1294 5772 nation 1074, among 1722 whom 3739 ye shine 5316 5743 as 5613 lights 5458 in 1722 the world 2889;(harmless: or, sincere)(ye shine: or, shine ye)

2:16 Holding forth 1907 5723 the word 3056 of life 2222; that 1519 I 1698 may rejoice 2745 in 1519 the day 2250 of Christ 5547, that 3754 I have 5143 0 not 3756 run 5143 5627 in 1519 vain 2756, neither 3761 laboured 2872 5656 in 1519 vain 2756.

2:17 Yea 235, and if 1499 I be offered 4689 5743 upon 1909 the sacrifice 2378 and 2532 service 3009 of your 5216 faith 4102, I joy 5463 5719, and 2532 rejoice with 4796 5719 you 5213 all 3956.(offered: Gr. poured forth)

2:18 For 1161 the same cause 846 also 2532 do 5463 0 ye 5210 joy 5463 5720, and 2532 rejoice with 4796 5720 me 3427.

2:19 But 1161 I trust 1679 5719 in 1722 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424 to send 3992 5658 Timotheus 5095 shortly 5030 unto you 5213, that 2443 I also 2504 may be of good comfort 2174 5725, when I know 1097 5631 your 5216 state 4012.(But: or, Moreover)

2:20 For 1063 I have 2192 5719 no man 3762 likeminded 2473, who 3748 will naturally 1104 care 3309 5692 for your 5216 state 4012.(likeminded: or, so dear unto me)

2:21 For 1063 all 3956 seek 2212 5719 their own 1438, not 3756 the things which are 3588 Jesus 2424 Christ's 5547.

2:22 But 1161 ye know 1097 5719 the proof 1382 of him 846, that 3754, as 5613 a son 5043 with the father 3962, he hath served 1398 5656 with 4862 me 1698 in 1519 the gospel 2098.

2:23 Him 3303 5126 therefore 3767 I hope 1679 5719 to send 3992 5658 presently 1824, so soon as 5613 I 302 shall see 542 5632 how 4012 it will go with me 1691.

2:24 But 1161 I trust 3982 5754 in 1722 the Lord 2962 that 3754 I 2064 0 also 2532 myself 846 shall come 2064 5695 shortly 5030.

2:25 Yet 1161 I supposed 2233 5662 it necessary 316 to send 3992 5658 to 4314 you 5209 Epaphroditus 1891, my 3450 brother 80, and 2532 companion in labour 4904, and 2532 fellowsoldier 4961, but 1161 your 5216 messenger 652, and 2532 he that ministered 3011 to my 3450 wants 5532.

2:26 For 1894 he 2258 5713 longed after 1971 5723 you 5209 all 3956, and 2532 was full of heaviness 85 5723, because 1360 that ye had heard 191 5656 that 3754 he had been sick 770 5656.

2:27 For 1063 indeed 2532 he was sick 770 5656 nigh 3897 unto death 2288: but 235 God 2316 had mercy 1653 5656 on him 846; and 1161 not 3756 on him 846 only 3440, but 235 on me 1691 also 2532, lest 3363 I should have 2192 5632 sorrow 3077 upon 1909 sorrow 3077.

2:28 I sent 3992 5656 him 846 therefore 3767 the more carefully 4708, that 2443, when ye see 1492 5631 him 846 again 3825, ye may rejoice 5463 5647, and that I 2504 may be 5600 5753 the less sorrowful 253.

2:29 Receive 4327 5737 him 846 therefore 3767 in 1722 the Lord 2962 with 3326 all 3956 gladness 5479; and 2532 hold 2192 5720 such 5108 in reputation 1784:(hold…: or, honor such)

2:30 Because 3754 for 1223 the work 2041 of Christ 5547 he was nigh 1448 5656 unto 3360 death 2288, not regarding 3851 5666 his life 5590, to 2443 supply 378 5661 your 5216 lack 5303 of service 3009 toward 4314 me 3165.
