The Letter to the Philippians - Verse by Verse (2)

(NASB) Philippians 1:29 For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on His behalf,

(NASB) Philippians 1:30 experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

(NASB) Philippians 2:1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

(NASB) Philippians 2:2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

(NASB) Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves;

(NASB) Philippians 2:4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

(NASB) Philippians 2:5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

(NASB) Philippians 2:6 who, as He already existed in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

(NASB) Philippians 2:7 but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant and being born in the likeness of men.

(NASB) Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death: death on a cross.

(NASB) Philippians 2:9 For this reason also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

(NASB) Philippians 2:10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

(NASB) Philippians 2:11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

(NASB) Philippians 2:12 So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

(NASB) Philippians 2:13 for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.

(NASB) Philippians 2:14 Do all things without complaining or arguments;

(NASB) Philippians 2:15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

(NASB) Philippians 2:16 holding firmly the word of life, so that on the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.

(NASB) Philippians 2:17 But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.

(NASB) Philippians 2:18 You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.
