If{G1487} there is therefore{G3767} any{G5100} exhortation{G3874} in{G1722} Christ,{G5547} if{G1487} any{G5100} consolation{G3890} of love,{G26} if{G1487} any{G5100} fellowship{G2842} of the Spirit,{G4151} if{G1487} any{G5100} tender mercies{G4698} and{G2532} compassions,{G3628}

make full{G4137} my{G3450} joy,{G5479} that{G2443} ye be{G5426} of the same{G846} mind,{G5426} having{G2192} the{G26} same{G846} love,{G26} being of one accord,{G4861} of{G5426} one{G1520} mind;{G5426}

[ doing] nothing{G3367} through{G2596} faction{G2052} or{G2228} through vainglory,{G2754} but{G235} in lowliness of mind{G5012} {G2233} each{G240} counting{G2233} other{G240} better{G5242} than himself;{G1438}

not{G3361} looking{G4648} each{G1538} of you to his own things,{G1438} but{G235} each{G1538} of you also{G2532} to the things of others.{G2087}

Have{G1063} this{G5124} {G5426} mind in{G1722} you,{G5213} which was{G3739} also{G2532} in{G1722} Christ{G5547} Jesus:{G2424}

who,{G3739} existing{G5225} in{G1722} the form{G3444} of God,{G2316} counted not{G3756} the being{G5225} on an equality{G2470} with God{G2316} a thing to be{G1511} grasped,{G725}

but{G235} {G2758} emptied{G2758} himself,{G1438} taking{G2983} the form{G3444} of a servant,{G1401} being made{G1096} in{G1722} the likeness{G3667} of men;{G444}

and{G2532} being found{G2147} in fashion{G4976} as{G5613} a man,{G444} he humbled{G5013} himself,{G1438} becoming{G1096} obedient{G5255} [even]{G1161} unto{G3360} death,{G2288} yea, the death{G2288} of the cross.{G4716}

Wherefore{G1352} also{G2532} God{G2316} highly exalted{G5251} him,{G846} and{G2532} gave{G5483} unto him{G846} the name{G3686} which is{G3588} above{G5228} every{G3956} name;{G3686}

that{G2443} in{G1722} the name{G3686} of Jesus{G2424} every{G3956} knee{G1119} should bow,{G2578} of{G2032} [things] in heaven{G2032} and{G2532} [things] on earth{G1919} and{G2532} [things] under the earth,{G2709}

and{G2532} that every{G3956} tongue{G1100} should confess{G1843} that{G3754} Jesus{G2424} Christ{G5547} is Lord,{G2962} to{G1519} the glory{G1391} of God{G2316} the Father.{G3962}

So{G5620} then, my{G3450} beloved,{G27} even as{G2531} ye have{G5219} always{G3842} obeyed,{G5219} not{G3361} as{G5613} in{G1722} my{G3450} presence{G3952} only,{G3440} but{G235} now{G3568} much{G4183} more{G3123} in{G1722} my{G3450} absence,{G666} work out{G2716} your own{G1438} salvation{G4991} with{G3326} fear{G5401} and{G2532} trembling;{G5156}

for{G1063} it is{G2076} God{G2316} who{G3588} worketh{G1754} in{G1722} you{G5213} both{G2532} to will{G2309} and{G2532} to work,{G1754} for{G5228} his good pleasure.{G2107}

Do{G4160} all things{G3956} without{G5565} murmurings{G1112} and{G2532} questionings:{G1261}

that{G2443} ye may become{G1096} blameless{G273} and{G2532} harmless,{G185} children{G5043} of God{G2316} without blemish{G298} in{G1722} the midst{G3319} of a{G1074} crooked{G4646} and{G2532} perverse{G1294} generation,{G1074} among{G1722} whom{G3739} ye are seen{G5316} as{G5613} lights{G5458} in{G1722} the world,{G2889}

holding forth{G1907} the word{G3056} of life;{G2222} that{G1519} I{G1698} may have whereof to glory{G2745} in{G1519} the day{G2250} of Christ,{G5547} that{G3754} I did{G5143} not{G3756} run{G5143} in{G1519} vain{G2756} neither{G3761} labor{G2872} in{G1519} vain.{G2756}

Yea,{G235} and{G2532} if{G1487} I am offered{G4689} upon{G1909} the sacrifice{G2378} and{G2532} service{G3009} of{G4102} your{G5216} faith,{G4102} I joy,{G5463} and{G2532} rejoice{G4796} with you{G5213} all:{G3956}

and{G1161} in the same manner{G846} do{G5463} ye{G5210} also{G2532} joy,{G5463} and{G2532} rejoice with{G4796} me.{G3427}

But{G1161} I hope{G1679} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962} Jesus{G2424} to send{G3992} Timothy{G5095} shortly{G5030} unto you,{G5213} that{G2443} I also{G2504} may be of good comfort,{G2174} when I know{G1097} your{G5216} state.{G4012}

For{G1063} I have{G2192} no man{G3762} likeminded,{G2473} who{G3748} will{G3309} care truly{G1104} for{G3309} your{G5216} state.{G4012}

For{G1063} they all{G3956} seek{G2212} their own,{G1438} not{G3756} the things of{G3588} Jesus{G2424} Christ.{G5547}

But{G1161} ye know{G1097} the proof{G1382} of him,{G846} that,{G3754} as{G5613} a child{G5043} [serveth] a father,{G3962} [so] he served{G1398} with{G4862} me{G1698} in{G1519} furtherance of the gospel.{G2098}

Him{G5126} {G3303} therefore{G3767} I hope{G1679} to send{G3992} forthwith,{G1824} so soon as{G5613} I shall see{G872} how{G302} it will go with me:{G1691}

but{G1161} I trust{G3982} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962} that{G3754} I{G2064} myself{G846} also{G2532} shall come{G2064} shortly.{G5030}

But{G1161} I counted it{G2233} necessary{G316} to send{G3992} to{G4314} you{G5209} Epaphroditus,{G1891} my{G3450} brother{G80} and{G2532} fellow-worker{G4904} and{G2532} fellow-soldier,{G4961} and{G2532} your{G5216} messenger{G652} and{G2532} minister{G3011} to{G5532} my{G3450} need;{G5532}

since{G1894} he{G2258} longed after{G1971} you{G5209} all,{G3956} and{G2532} was sore troubled,{G85} because{G1360} ye had heard{G191} that{G1360} he was sick:{G770}

for{G1063} indeed{G2532} he was sick{G770} nigh unto{G3897} death:{G2288} but{G235} God{G2316} had mercy on{G1653} him;{G846} and{G1161} not{G3756} on{G1653} him{G846} only,{G3440} but{G235} on me{G1691} also,{G2443} that I might not have{G2192} sorrow{G3077} upon{G1909} sorrow.{G3077}

I have sent{G3992} him{G846} therefore{G3767} the more diligently,{G4708} that,{G2443} when ye see{G1492} him{G846} again,{G3825} ye may rejoice,{G5463} and that I{G2504} may be{G5600} the less sorrowful.{G253}

Receive{G4327} him{G846} therefore{G3767} in{G1722} the Lord{G2962} with{G3326} all{G3956} joy;{G5479} and{G2532} hold{G2192} such{G5108} in honor:{G1784}

because{G3754} for{G1223} the work{G2041} of Christ{G5547} he came nigh{G1448} unto{G3360} death,{G2288} hazarding{G3851} his life{G2443} to supply{G378} that which was lacking{G5303} in your{G5216} service{G3009} toward{G4314} me.{G3165}
