Have the Attitude of Christ
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?
Being One in Christ
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.
Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.
Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
The Attitude of 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:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
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,
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
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,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
to the glory of God the Father.
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
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.
Shining as Stars
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 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.
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye 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.
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do everything without complaining and arguing,
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
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.
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
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.
Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Yes, you should rejoice, and I will share your joy.
For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
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.
Timothy and Epaphroditus
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare.
For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ.
For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.
But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
I hope to send him to you just as soon as I find out what is going to happen to me here.
Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
And I have confidence from the Lord that I myself will come to see you soon.
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
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.
Epaphroditus Commended
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
I am sending him because he has been longing to see you, and he was very distressed that you heard he was ill.
For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
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.
For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
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.
I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
