Your Attitude Should be that of Christ; Becoming Blameless and Pure; Timothy and Epaphroditus

 
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion, +
make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; +
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; +
each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. +
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, +
who, existing in the form of God, didn't consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, +
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. +
And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. +
Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; +
10 
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, +
11 
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. +
12 
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. +
13 
For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. +
14 
Do all things without murmurings and disputes, +
15 
that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world, +
16 
holding up the word of life; that I may have something to boast in the day of Christ, that I didn't run in vain nor labor in vain. +
17 
Yes, and if I am poured out on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice, and rejoice with you all. +
18 
In the same way, you also rejoice, and rejoice with me. +
 

 
 
19 
But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered up when I know how you are doing. +
20 
For I have no one else like-minded, who will truly care about you. +
21 
For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ. +
22 
But you know the proof of him, that, as a child serves a father, so he served with me in furtherance of the Good News. +
23 
Therefore I hope to send him at once, as soon as I see how it will go with me. +
24 
But I trust in the Lord that I myself also will come shortly. +
25 
But I counted it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, fellow worker, fellow soldier, and your apostle and servant of my need; +
26 
since he longed for you all, and was very troubled, because you had heard that he was sick. +
27 
For indeed he was sick, nearly to death, but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, that I might not have sorrow on sorrow. +
28 
I have sent him therefore the more diligently, that, when you see him again, you may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
29 
Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor, +
30 
because for the work of Christ he came near to death, risking his life to supply that which was lacking in your service toward me. +
