Philippians 2:1-16 GNV

^1 [a]If there be therefore any consolation in ^[b]Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any ^[c]compassion and mercy,

² Fulfill my joy, that ye be like minded, having the ^[d]same love, being of one accord, and of one judgment,

³ That nothing be done through contention or vainglory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself.

⁴ Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of other men.

^5 [e]Let the same mind be in you that was even in Christ Jesus,

⁶ Who being in the ^[f]form of God, ^[g]thought it no robbery to be ^[h]equal with God:

⁷ But he made himself of ^[i]no reputation, and took on him the ^[j]form of a servant, and was made like unto men, and was found in shape as a man.

⁸ He humbled himself, and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.

^9 [k]Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and given him a ^[l]name above every name.

¹⁰ That at the Name of Jesus should ^[m]every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.

¹¹ And that ^[n]every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.

^12 [o]Wherefore my beloved, as ye have always obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so^[p]make an end of your own salvation with fear and trembling.

^13 [q]For it is God which worketh in you both ^[r]the will and the deed, even of his good pleasure.

^14 [s]Do all things without murmuring and reasonings,

^15 [t]That ye may be blameless, and pure, and the sons of God without rebuke in the midst of a naughty and crooked nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

¹⁶ Holding forth the ^[u]word of life, ^[v]that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have labored in vain.
