¹If then there be any comfort in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and compassions, ²fulfil my joy, that ye may think the same thing, having the same love, joined in soul, thinking one thing; ³let nothing be in the spirit of strife or vain glory, but, in lowliness of mind, each esteeming the other as more excellent than themselves; ⁴regarding not each his own qualities, but each those of others also. ⁵For let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus; ⁶who, subsisting in the form of God, did not esteem it an object of rapine to be on an equality with God; ⁷but emptied himself, taking a bondman’s form, taking his place in the likeness of men; ⁸and having been found in figure as a man, humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross. ⁹Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name, ¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal beings, ¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to God the Father’s glory.

¹²So that, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much rather in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,
