Philippians 2

¹ Has Christ given you any strength at all? Has love brought you any comfort? Has the Spirit joined you together with other believers? Do you have any soft, caring feelings for each other?

⁵ Let the same way of thinking live in you. The same one that lived in Christ Jesus.

¹² So then, the people I love so much, you have always obeyed. You obeyed when I was there with you. Obey even more now while I am far away. Keep working out your salvation. Let holy fear fill you. Let your hands shake.

¹⁹ I hope to send Timothy to you soon, if the Lord Jesus lets me. When I hear how you are doing, my heart will feel good.

²⁵ But first I need to send Epaphroditus back to you. He is my brother. My friend in the work. My partner in the fight. You sent him to help me when I needed it.
