¹ Therefore if any comfort is in Christ, if any solace of charity, if any fellowship of Spirit, if any inwardness of mercy doing,

² [ful] fill ye my joy, that ye under-stand the same thing, and have the same charity, of one will, and feel the same thing;

³ nothing [doing] by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher [in virtue] than himself;

⁴ not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men.

⁵ And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;

⁶ which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God [or himself to be even to God],

⁷ but he lowed [or meeked] himself, taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,

⁸ and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death, yea, to the death of the cross.

⁹ For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name;

¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell’s;

¹¹ and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

¹² Therefore, my most dearworthy brethren, as evermore ye have obeyed, not in my presence only, but much more now in mine absence, work ye with dread and trembling your health.

¹³ For it is God that worketh in you, both to will, and to perform, for good will.

¹⁴ And do ye all things without grutchings, and doubtings;

¹⁵ that ye be without complaint, and simple as the sons of God, without reproof, in the middle of a shrewd nation and a wayward; among which ye shine as givers of light in the world.

¹⁶ And hold ye together the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ; for I have not run in vain, neither I have travailed in vain.

¹⁷ But though I be offered or slain on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I have joy, and I thank you all.

¹⁸ And for the same thing have ye joy, and [together] thank ye me.

¹⁹ And I hope in the Lord Jesus, that I shall send Timothy soon to you, that I be of good comfort, when those things be known that be about you.

²⁰ For I have no man so of one will, that is busy for you with clean affection.

²¹ For all men seek those things that be their own, not those that be of Christ Jesus.

²² But know ye the assay of him, for as a son to the father he hath served with me in the gospel.

²³ Therefore I hope that I shall send him to you, anon as I see what things be about me.

²⁴ And I trust in the Lord, that also myself shall come to you soon.

²⁵ And I guessed it needful to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and even-worker, and mine even-knight, but your apostle, and the minister of my need.

²⁶ For he desired you all, and he was sorrowful, therefore that ye heard that he was sick.

²⁷ For he was sick to the death, but God had mercy on him; and not only on him, but also on me, lest I had heaviness on heaviness.

²⁸ Therefore more hastily I sent him, that when ye have seen him, ye have joy again, and I be without heaviness.

²⁹ Therefore receive ye him with all joy in the Lord, and have ye such with all honour.

³⁰ For the work of Christ he went to death, giving his life, that he should fulfill that that failed of you with my service.
