much more now in my absence) with fear and
trembling work out your salvation.

With fear, etc... This is against the false faith, and presumptuous
security of modern sectaries.

2:13. For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish,
according to his good will.

2:14. And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations:

2:15. That you may be blameless and sincere children of God, without
reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation: among whom
you shine as lights in the world.

2:16. Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ:
because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.

2:17. Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of
your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all.

2:18. And for the selfsame thing, do you also rejoice and congratulate
with me.

2:19. And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly,
that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning
you.

2:20. For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection
is solicitous for you.

2:21. For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are

2:23. Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately: so soon as I
shall see how it will go with me.

2:24. And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you
shortly.

2:25. But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my
brother and fellow labourer and fellow soldier, but your apostle: and he
that hath ministered to my wants.

2:26. For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had
heard that he was sick.

2:27. For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him.
And not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon
sorrow.

2:28. Therefore, I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again,
you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow.

2:29. Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord: and treat with
honour such as he is.

2:30. Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death:
delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was
wanting towards my service.

Philippians Chapter 3

that he may gain Christ.

3:1. As to the rest, my brethren, re
