Philippians 1:27–2:4

27  Only conduct yourselves worthily of the glad tidings of the Christ, in order that whether coming and seeing you, or absent, I may hear of what concerns you, that ye stand firm in one spirit, with one soul, labouring together in the same conflict with the faith of the glad tidings; 28  and not frightened in anything by the opposers, which is to them a demonstration of destruction, but of your salvation, and that from God; 29  because to you has been given, as regards Christ, not only the believing on him but the suffering for him also, 30  having the same conflict which ye have seen in me, and now hear of in me.

Chapter 2

1  If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions, 2  fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing; 3  let nothing be in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves; 4  regarding not each his own qualities, but each those of others also.
