1: If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

2: Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

3: Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

4: Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

5: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9: Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11: And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12: 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.

13: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
