1 He exhorteth them above all things, 3 to humility,  6 and that by the example of Christ. 19 He promiseth to send Timothy shortly unto them, 26 and excuseth the long tarrying of Epaphroditus.

[a]If there be therefore any consolation in [b]Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any [c]compassion and mercy,

Fulfill my joy, that ye be like minded, having the [d]same love, being of one accord, and of one judgment,

That nothing be done through contention or vainglory, but that in meekness of mind every man esteem others better than himself.
