29;
29 So then, welcome him in the
Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, (2)
258
26 For
he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. (8)
27 Indeed he was ill,
and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me,
to spare me sorrow upon sorrow.
369
17 But
even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and
service coming from your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you. (8)
18 So you too should
be glad and rejoice with me.
369
8 And being found in appearance
as A Man(Jesus),
He Humbled Himself by Becoming Obedient to Death— Even Death on a Cross! (8)
9 Therefore God Exalted Him to
the Highest Place and Gave Him the Name that is above every name,
369
21 For everyone looks out for
their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. (3)
22 But you know that Timothy has
proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the
work of the gospel.
23 I hope, therefore,
to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.
24 And I am confident
in the Lord that I myself will come soon.
25 But I think it is
necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow
soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs.

Do Everything
Without Grumbling
12 Therefore, my dear
friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more
in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
13 for it is God who works in you to
will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.
14 Do everything
without grumbling or arguing,
15 so that you may
become blameless and pure, “children of God
without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will
shine among them like stars in the sky
16 as you hold firmly
to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run
or labor in vain.
147
3 Do
nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value
others above yourselves,
(3)
4 not looking to your
own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 In your
relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very
nature God, did not consider
equality with God something to be used to His Own advantage;
7 rather, He(Jesus) made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of A Servant, being made in Human Likeness.
7 rather, He(Jesus) made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of A Servant, being made in Human Likeness.

28 Therefore
I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be
glad and I may have less anxiety.

Timothy and
Epaphroditus
19 I
hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy
to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you.
(1)
20 I have no one else like him,
who will show genuine concern for your welfare.
258
10 that at the Name of Jesus every
knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, (1)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the Glory of God the Father.

Imitating Christ’s
Humility
2 Therefore if you have any
Encouragement from being United with Christ, if any Comfort from His Love, if
any Common sharing in the Spirit, if any Tenderness and Compassion, (1)
2 then make my joy complete by
being like-minded, having the same Love, being One in Spirit and of One Mind.
