Chapter 2.

00:01.960 --> 00:06.720
If there be therefore any consolation in
Christ, if any comfort of love,

00:06.880 --> 00:11.760
if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any bowels and mercies, fulfill ye my

00:11.760 --> 00:16.760
joy, that ye be like-minded, having the
same love, being of one accord,

00:16.940 --> 00:17.880
of one mind.

00:18.520 --> 00:24.440
Let nothing be done through strife or
vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let

00:24.440 --> 00:27.080
each esteem other better than themselves.

00:27.780 --> 00:32.400
Look not every man on his own things,
but every man also on the things of

00:32.400 --> 00:32.740
others.

00:33.540 --> 00:39.160
Let this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus, who being in the form of

00:39.160 --> 00:44.300
God, thought it not robbery to be equal
with God, but made himself of no

00:44.300 --> 00:49.260
reputation, and took upon him the form of
a servant, and was made in the likeness of

00:49.260 --> 00:49.580
men.

00:50.260 --> 00:54.920
And being found in fashion as a man,
he humbled himself and became obedient

00:54.920 --> 00:57.180
unto death, even the death of the cross.

00:57.880 --> 01:02.640
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted
him, and given him a name which is above

01:02.640 --> 01:09.320
every name, that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, of things in

01:09.320 --> 01:12.300
heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth.

01:13.180 --> 01:19.020
And that every tongue should confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God

01:19.020 --> 01:19.500
the Father.

01:20.540 --> 01:25.100
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always
obeyed, not as in my presence only,

01:25.480 --> 01:30.380
but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and

01:30.380 --> 01:30.780
trembling.

01:31.800 --> 01:37.160
For it is God which worketh in you both to
will and to do of his good pleasure.

01:37.820 --> 01:43.240
Do all things without murmurings and
disputings, that ye may be blameless and

01:43.240 --> 01:48.840
harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked and perverse

01:48.840 --> 01:52.260
nation, among whom ye shine as lights in
the world.

01:52.260 --> 01:57.420
Holding forth the word of life,
that I may rejoice in the day of Christ,

01:57.740 --> 02:01.360
that I have not run in vain, neither
labored in vain.

02:02.100 --> 02:06.500
Yea, and if I be offered upon the
sacrifice and service of your faith,

02:06.820 --> 02:09.880
I joy and rejoice with you all.

02:10.200 --> 02:13.760
For the same cause also do ye joy and
rejoice with me.

02:14.940 --> 02:20.100
But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send
Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also

02:20.100 --> 02:22.420
may be of good comfort when I know your
state.

02:22.960 --> 02:26.920
For I have no man like-minded who will
naturally care for your state.

02:27.460 --> 02:31.340
For all seek their own, not the things
which are Jesus Christ's.

02:31.920 --> 02:36.580
But ye know the proof of him, that as a
son with the Father, he hath served with

02:36.580 --> 02:37.540
me in the gospel.

02:38.120 --> 02:42.520
Him therefore I hope to send presently,
so soon as I shall see how it will go with

02:42.520 --> 02:42.700
me.

02:43.460 --> 02:46.980
But I trust in the Lord that I also myself
shall come shortly.

02:46.980 --> 02:52.800
Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you
Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in

02:52.800 --> 02:57.600
labor, and fellow soldier, but your
messenger, and he that ministered to my

02:57.600 --> 02:57.960
wants.

02:58.540 --> 03:02.580
For he longed after you all, and was full
of heaviness, because that ye had heard

03:02.580 --> 03:03.520
that he had been sick.

03:04.200 --> 03:06.460
For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death.

03:06.960 --> 03:12.540
But God had mercy on him, and not on him
only, but on me also, lest I should have

03:12.540 --> 03:13.600
sorrow upon sorrow.

03:14.260 --> 03:18.640
I sent him therefore the more carefully,
that when ye see him again, ye may

03:18.640 --> 03:21.300
rejoice, and that I may be the less
sorrowful.

03:22.000 --> 03:26.840
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all
gladness, and hold such in reputation.

03:27.700 --> 03:32.080
Because for the work of Christ he was nigh
unto death, not regarding his life,

03:32.560 --> 03:34.700
to supply your lack of service toward me.
