CHAP. II.

He exhorteth them to vnitie, and to all humblenesse of minde, by the example of Christs humilitie and exaltation: 12 To a carefull proceeding in the way of saluation, that they bee as lights to the wicked world, 16 and comforts to him their Apostle, who is now ready to bee offered vp to God. 19 He hopeth to send Timothie to them, whom hee greatly commendeth, 25 as Epaphroditus also, whom he presently sendeth to them.

¹ If there bee therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of loue, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels, & mercies;

² Fulfill ye my ioy, that yee be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accord, of one minde.

³ Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues.

⁴ Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of others.

⁵ Let this minde bee in you, which was also in Christ Iesus:

⁶ Who being in the forme of God, thought it not robbery to bee equall with God:

⁷ But made himselfe of no reputation, and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant, and was made in the likenesse of men.⁷

⁸ And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto death, euen the death of the Crosse.

⁹ Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name which is aboue euery name:

¹⁰ That at the Name of Iesus euery knee should bow, of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth:

¹¹ And that euery tongue should confesse, that Iesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹² Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence onely, but now much more in my absence; worke out your owne saluation with feare, and trembling.
