^{1 Ref} If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

^{2 Ref} make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

^{3 Ref} `doing' nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

^{4 Ref} not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.

^{5 Ref} Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

^{6 Ref} who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped,

^{7 Ref} but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men;

^{8 Ref} and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient `even' unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

^{9 Ref} Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

^{10 Ref} that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of `things' in heaven and `things' on earth and `things' under the earth,

^{11 Ref} and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

^{12 Ref} So then, my beloved, even 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;

^{13 Ref} for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

^{14 Ref} Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

^{15 Ref} that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

^{16 Ref} holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

^{17 Ref} Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

^{18 Ref} and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.
