Epistle
Phil 1.27-2.4
Read in contextBrethren,
1:27Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
1:28And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
1:29For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
1:30Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear [to be] in me.
2:1If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
2:2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
2:3[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
2:4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
