Philippians 2:
"Is
there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his
love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and
compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with
each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and
purpose.
Don't
be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others
as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests,
but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
Instead,
he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a
slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he
humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a
cross.
Therefore,
God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name
above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Dear
friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And
now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the
results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence fear. For
God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what
pleases him.
Do
everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can
criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining
like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people. Hold
firmly to the word of life; then, on the day of Christ's return, I will
be proud that I did not run the race in vain and that my work was not
useless. But I will rejoice even if I lose my life, pouring it out like
a liquid offering to God, just like your faithful service is an
offering to God. And I want all of you to share that joy. Yes, you
should rejoice, and I will share your joy."
