| 2:1 | If there be amonge you anye consolation in Christ, yf there be anye comfortable loue, yf there be anye feloweshyp of spirite, yf there be any compassion or mercye, |
| 2:2 | fulfyll my ioye that ye drawe one waye hauinge one loue, being of one accorde, and of one minde, |
| 2:3 | that nothing be done thorowe stryfe or vaine glorye, but that in mekenes of mynde euerye man esteme other better then him selfe, |
| 2:4 | & that no man considere his owne, but what is meate for other. |
| 2:5 | Let the same mynde be in you that was in Christ Iesu: |
| 2:6 | Whiche beinge in the shap of God, and thought it not robbery to be equal wt God. |
| 2:7 | Neuerthelesse he made hym selfe of no reputation, & toke on him the shap of a seruaunt, and became lyke vnto men, |
| 2:8 | and was founde in hys aparell as a man. He humbled hym selfe, and became obediente vnto the death euen the death of the crosse. |
| 2:9 | Wherfore God hath exalted hym, and geuen hym a name aboue al names, |
| 2:10 | that in the name of Iesus should euerye knee bowe, both of thinges in heauen and thinges in earth, and thinges vnder the earth, |
| 2:11 | and that al tounges should confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lorde vnto the prayse of God the father. |
| 2:12 | Wherfore my dearlye beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed, not when I was presente onelye, but nowe much more in myne absence euen so worke out your owne saluacion wt feare and trembling. |
| 2:13 | For it is God, whyche worketh in you, both the wyll and also the dede, euen of good wyl. |
| 2:14 | Do al thinge wythout murmuringe and disputynge, |
| 2:15 | that ye maye be fauteles & pure, the sonnes of God wythout rebuke, in the middes of a croked and a peruerse nacyon, amonge whiche se that ye shine as lightes in the worlde, |
| 2:16 | holding fast the worde of life, vnto my reioysing in the daye of Christe, that I haue not runne in vayne, neyther haue laboured in vaine. |
| 2:17 | Yea, and though I be offered vp vpon the offeringe and sacrifyce of youre fayth: I reioyce, and reioyce wyth you al. |
| 2:18 | For the same cause also, reioyce ye, and reioyce ye wyth me. |
| 2:19 | I truste in the Lord Iesus for to sende Timotheus shortely vnto you, that I also maye be of good comforte, when I knowe what case ye stand in. |
| 2:20 | For I haue noman that is so lyke mynded to me, whiche with so pure affeccion careth for youre matters. |
| 2:21 | For al other seke theyr owne, and not that whiche is Iesus Christes. |
| 2:22 | Ye knowe the profe of hym, howe that as a sonne with the father, so with me bestowed he his laboure vpon the Gospel |
| 2:23 | Hym I hope to send assone as I knowe, howe it wyl go with me. |
| 2:24 | I truste in the Lord I also my selfe shal come shortly. |
| 2:25 | I supposed it necessarye to sende brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in laboure and felow souldier, youre Apostle & my minister at my nedes. |
| 2:26 | For he lounged after you, and was full of heauines, because that ye had hearde saye, that he shoulde be sycke. |
| 2:27 | And no dout he was sicke, and that nye vnto death. But God had mercye on hym not on hym onely, but on me also, lest I should haue had sorowe vpon sorowe. |
| 2:28 | I sent him therfore the diligentliar, that when ye shoulde se hym, ye might reioyce againe, and I myght be the lesse sorowfull. |
| 2:29 | Receiue him therfore in the Lorde wyth al gladnes, and make muche of suche: |
| 2:30 | because that for the worke of Christ he went so farre, that he was nye vnto death, and regarded not hys lyfe, to fulfyll that seruice, whiche was lackinge on your part towarde me. |
| 2:1 | If there be therfore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any compassion and mercie, |
| 2:2 | Fulfill my ioye, that ye be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accorde, and of one iudgement, |
| 2:3 | That nothing be done through contention or vaine glory, but that in meekenesse of minde euery man esteeme other better then himselfe. |
| 2:4 | Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of other men. |
| 2:5 | Let the same minde be in you that was euen in Christ Iesus, |
| 2:6 | Who being in ye forme of God, thought it no robberie to be equall with God: |
| 2:7 | But he made himself of no reputation, and tooke on him ye forme of a seruant, and was made like vnto men, and was founde in shape as a man. |
| 2:8 | He humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto the death, euen the death of the Crosse. |
| 2:9 | Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name aboue euery name, |
| 2:10 | That at the Name of Iesus shoulde euery knee bowe, both of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth, |
| 2:11 | And that euery tongue shoulde confesse that Iesus Christ is the Lord, vnto the glory of God the Father. |
| 2:12 | Wherefore my beloued, as ye haue alwayes obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so make an end of your owne saluation with feare and trembling. |
| 2:13 | For it is God which worketh in you, both the will and the deede, euen of his good pleasure. |
| 2:14 | Do all things without murmuring and reasonings, |
| 2:15 | That ye may be blamelesse, and pure, and the sonnes of God without rebuke in the middes of a naughtie and crooked nation, among whom yee shine as lights in the world, |
| 2:16 | Holding forth the worde of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither haue laboured in vaine. |
| 2:17 | Yea, and though I bee offered vp vpon the sacrifice, and seruice of your faith, I am glad, and reioyce with you all. |
| 2:18 | For the same cause also be ye glad, and reioyce with me. |
| 2:19 | And I trust in the Lord Iesus, to sende Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I knowe your state. |
| 2:20 | For I haue no man like minded, who will faithfully care for your matters. |
| 2:21 | For all seeke their owne, and not that which is Iesus Christes. |
| 2:22 | But yee knowe the proofe of him, that as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me in the Gospel. |
| 2:23 | Him therefore I hope to send assoone as I knowe howe it will goe with me, |
| 2:24 | And trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly. |
| 2:25 | But I supposed it necessarie to sende my brother Epaphroditus vnto you, my companion in labour, and fellowe souldier, euen your messenger, and he that ministred vnto me such things as I wanted. |
| 2:26 | For he longed after all you, and was full of heauinesse, because yee had heard that hee had beene sicke. |
| 2:27 | And no doubt he was sicke, very neere vnto death: but God had mercie on him, and not on him onely, but on me also, least I should haue sorowe vpon sorowe. |
| 2:28 | I sent him therefore the more diligently, that when yee shoulde see him againe, yee might reioyce, and I might be the lesse sorowfull. |
| 2:29 | Receiue him therefore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and make much of such: |
| 2:30 | Because that for the woorke of Christ he was neere vnto death, and regarded not his life, to fulfill that seruice which was lacking on your part towarde me. |
| 2:1 | If there bee therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels, & mercies; |
| 2:2 | Fulfill ye my ioy, that yee be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accord, of one minde. |
| 2:3 | Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues. |
| 2:4 | Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of others. |
| 2:5 | Let this minde bee in you, which was also in Christ Iesus: |
| 2:6 | Who being in the forme of God, thought it not robbery to bee equall with God: |
| 2:7 | But made himselfe of no reputation, and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant, and was made in the likenesse of men. |
| 2:8 | And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto death, euen the death of the Crosse. |
| 2:9 | Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name which is aboue euery name: |
| 2:10 | That at the Name of Iesus euery knee should bow, of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth: |
| 2:11 | And that euery tongue should confesse, that Iesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
| 2:12 | Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence onely, but now much more in my absence; worke out your owne saluation with feare, and trembling. |
| 2:13 | For it is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to doe, of his good pleasure. |
| 2:14 | Doe all things without murmurings, and disputings: |
| 2:15 | That yee may bee blamelesse and harmelesse, the sonnes of God, without rebuke, in the middes of a crooked and peruerse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world: |
| 2:16 | Holding foorth the word of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither laboured in vaine. |
| 2:17 | Yea, and if I bee offered vpon the sacrifice and seruice of your faith, I ioy, and reioyce with you all. |
| 2:18 | For the same cause also doe ye ioy, and reioyce with me. |
| 2:19 | But I trust in the Lord Iesus, to send Timotheus shortly vnto you, that I also may bee of good comfort, when I know your state. |
| 2:20 | For I haue no man like minded, who will naturally care for your state. |
| 2:21 | For all seeke their owne, not the things which are Iesus Christs. |
| 2:22 | But ye know the proofe of him, That as a sonne with the father, hee hath serued with me, in the Gospel. |
| 2:23 | Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soone as I shall see how it wil goe with me. |
| 2:24 | But I trust in the Lord, that I also my selfe shall come shortly. |
| 2:25 | Yet I supposed it necessary, to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and companion in labour, and fellow souldiour, but your messenger, and hee that ministred to my wants. |
| 2:26 | For hee longed after you all, and was full of heauinesse, because that yee had heard that he had bene sicke. |
| 2:27 | For indeed he was sicke nigh vnto death, but God had mercy on him: and not on him onely, but on mee also, lest I should haue sorow vpon sorow. |
| 2:28 | I sent him therefore the more carefully, that when ye see him againe, ye may reioyce, and that I may bee the lesse sorrowfull. |
| 2:29 | Receiue him therfore in the Lord with all gladnesse, and hold such in reputation: |
| 2:30 | Because for the worke of Christ he was nigh vnto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lacke of seruice toward me. |
