About Philippians 2Paul asks the Philippians to be "of one mind," doing nothing "through strife or vainglory" but each esteeming others better than themselves. "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus," who "made himself of no reputation" and "became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross," so God "highly exalted him," that "every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." They are to "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling," shining "as lights in the world," and Paul plans to send Timothy and is sending Epaphroditus, who was "sick nigh unto death."
