now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life,
or by death.
001:021 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
001:022 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work;
yet I don't make known what I will choose.
001:023 But I am in a dilemma between the two, having the desire
to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
001:024 Yet, to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
001:025 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain
with you all, for your progress and joy in the faith,
001:026 that your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus in me through
my presence with you again.
001:027 Only let your manner of life be worthy of the Good News
of Christ, that, whether I come and see you or am absent,
I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit,
with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
001:028 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is
for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation,
and that from God.
001:029 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ,
not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
001:030 having the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear
is in me.
002:001 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any
consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit,
if any tender mercies and compassion,
002:002 make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love,
being of one accord, of one mind;
002:003 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility,
each counting others better than himself;
002:004 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you
also to the things of others.
002:005 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
002:006 who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality
with God a thing to be grasped,
002:007 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made
in the likeness of men.
002:008 And being found in human form, he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
002:009 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name
which is above every name;
002:010 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven,
those on earth, and those under the earth,
002:011 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
002:012 So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed,
not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence,
work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
002:013 For it is God who works in you both to will and to work,
for his good pleasure.
002:014 Do all things without murmurings and disputes,
