50:001:020 According to my earnest expectation and
my hope, that in
nothing
I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as
always,
so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body,
whether
it be by life, or by death.
50:001:021 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
50:001:022 But if I live in the flesh, this is the
fruit of my labour:
yet
what I shall choose I wot not.
50:001:023 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having
a desire to depart,
and
to be with Christ; which is far better:
50:001:024 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
50:001:025 And having this confidence, I know that
I shall abide and
continue
with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
50:001:026 That your rejoicing may be more abundant
in Jesus Christ for
me
by my coming to you again.
50:001:027 Only let your conversation be as it becometh
the gospel of
Christ:
that whether I come and see you, or else be absent,
I
may
hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit,
with
one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
50:001:028 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries:
which is to them
an
evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation,
and
that
of God.
50:001:029 For unto you it is given in the behalf
of Christ, not only to
believe
on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
50:001:030 Having the same conflict which ye saw in
me, and now hear to
be
in me.
50:002:001 If there be therefore any consolation in
Christ, if any
comfort
of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
bowels
and mercies,
50:002:002 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded,
having the same love,
being
of one accord, of one mind.
50:002:003 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory;
but in
lowliness
of mind let each esteem other better than
themselves.
50:002:004 Look not every man on his own things, but
every man also on
the
things of others.
50:002:005 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
50:002:006 Who, being in the form of God, thought
it not robbery to be
equal
with God:
50:002:007 But made himself of no reputation, and
took upon him the form
of
a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
50:002:008 And being found in fashion as a man, he
humbled himself, and
became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
50:002:009 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted
him, and given him a
name
which is above every name:
