fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Light Bearers
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
Shine Brightly for Christ
Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.
for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
Do everything without complaining and arguing,
so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.
holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
Hold firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ’s return, I will be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not useless.
Yes, and if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.
For the same reason you also be glad and rejoice with me.
Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
Paul Commends Timothy
If the Lord Jesus is willing, I hope to send Timothy to you soon for a visit. Then he can cheer me up by telling me how you are getting along.
For I have no one like-minded, who will sincerely care for your state.
I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare.
For all seek their own, not the things which are of Christ Jesus.
All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.
But you know his proven character, that as a son with his father he served with me in the gospel.
But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it goes with me.
I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
But I trust in the Lord that I myself shall also come shortly.
And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.
Epaphroditus Praised
Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;
Yet I considered it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier, but your messenger and the one who ministered to my need;
Paul Commends Epaphroditus
Meanwhile, I thought I should send Epaphroditus back to you. He is a true brother, co-worker, and fellow soldier. And he was your messenger to help me in my need.
since he was longing for you all, and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick.
I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill.
For indeed he was sick almost unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
And he certainly was ill; in fact, he almost died. But God had mercy on him — and also on me, so that I would not have one sorrow after another.
Therefore I sent him the more eagerly, that when you see him again you may rejoice, and I may be less sorrowful.
So I am all the more anxious to send him back to you, for I know you will be glad to see him, and then I will not be so worried about you.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness, and hold such men in esteem;
