ABP - Philippians - 2

2:1  If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any feelings of compassion and pities,

2:2  fulfill my joy! that [2the 3same 1you should be thinking], [2the 3same 4love 1having], unanimous, [2one thing 1thinking];

2:3  nothing according to contention or self seeking-glory; but in humility, [2one another 1esteeming] superior than oneselves.

2:4  [2not 5for the things 6of themselves 3each 1Let 4watch out], but [2also 3the things 4of others 1each]!

2:5  [3this 1For 2let 4thinking] be in you which also is in Christ Jesus!

2:6  who [2in 3the appearance 4of God 1existing], [2not 3a seizure 1esteemed it] to be equal with God;

2:7  but emptied himself, [2the appearance 3of a bondman 1having taken on], [2in 3the likeness 4of men 1having become].

2:8  And in condition having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become subject unto death, even death of the cross.

2:9  Therefore also God greatly exalted him, and granted to him the name above every name,

2:10  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend -- heavenly, and earthly, and underground;

2:11  and every tongue should acknowledge that [3is Lord 1Jesus 2Christ] to the glory of God the father.

2:12  So that, my beloved, as at all times you obeyed, not as at my arrival only, but now much rather in my absence, with fear and trembling [2your own 3deliverance 1work out]!

2:13  For God is the one operating in you both to want and to operate for the good-pleasure.

2:14  Do all things without grumblings and arguings!

2:15  that you should become blameless and unmixed, children of God, without blemish, in the midst of a generation crooked and perverted, among whom you appear as luminaries in the world,

2:16  [2the word 3of life 1giving heed to], for a boasting to me in the day of Christ, that not in vain I ran, nor in vain I tired.

2:17  But even if I am offered as a libation upon the sacrifice and ministration of the belief of yours, I rejoice, and I rejoice along with all you.

2:18  And likewise also you rejoice, even rejoice along with me!

2:19  But I hope in the Lord Jesus [2Timothy 3quickly 1to send forth] to you, that I also should be full of confidence, having known the things concerning you.

2:20  [3no one 1For 2I have] like-minded who genuinely [2the things 3concerning 4you 1shall have concern for],

2:21  ([2all 1for 4the things 5of themselves 3seek], not the things of Christ Jesus.)

2:22  but the proof of him you know, that as to a father [2as a child 3with 4me 1he served] in the good news.

2:23  This one indeed then I hope to send forth (as whenever I look over the things concerning me) immediately.

2:24  And I am persuaded in the Lord, that also myself [2quickly 1shall come].

2:25  [3important 1But 2I esteemed it] that Epaphroditus the brother and fellow-worker and my fellow-soldier, (but your apostle,) and minister of my need to send to you,

2:26  since he was longing after you all, and was anxious because you heard that he was sick.

2:27  For even he was sick, close to death; but God showed mercy on him; [2not 3him 1and] only, but also me, that [2not 4distress 5upon 6distress 1I should 3have].

2:28  More diligently then I sent him, that seeing him again, you should rejoice, and I should be free from sorrow.

2:29  Favorably receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and such ones [2in esteem 1have]!

2:30  for because of the work of the Christ [2unto 3death 1he approached], risking his life, that he should supply your deficiency of the [2towards 3me 1ministration].
