<h3>Christ's Example of Humility</h3>2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. <h3>Lights in the World</h3> 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17 Even if I am to be poured out as a drink offering upon the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18 Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. <h3>Timothy and Epaphroditus</h3> 19 I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20 For I have no one like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21 For they all seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel. 23 I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me, 24 and I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also. 25 I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your messenger and minister to my need, 26 for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28 I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious. 29 So receive him in the Lord with all joy, and honor such men, 30 for he nearly died for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

<cr>1</cr>Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,<ft>1</ft>

Philippians 2:5

<cr>1</cr>who, though he was in <cr>2</cr>the form of God, did not count equality with God <cr>3</cr>a thing to be grasped,<ft>1</ft>

Philippians 2:6

but <cr>1</cr>emptied himself, by taking the form of a <cr>2</cr>servant,<ft>1</ft><cr>3</cr>being born in the likeness of men.

Philippians 2:7

And being found in human form, he humbled himself by <cr>1</cr>becoming obedient to the point of death, <cr>2</cr>even death on a cross.

Philippians 2:8

<cr>1</cr>Therefore <cr>2</cr>God has <cr>3</cr>highly exalted him and bestowed on him <cr>4</cr>the name that is above every name,

Philippians 2:9

so that at the name of Jesus <cr>1</cr>every knee should bow, <cr>2</cr>in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

Philippians 2:11

Philippians 2:12

Therefore, my beloved, <cr>1</cr>as you have always <cr>2</cr>obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,

for <cr>1</cr>it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for <cr>2</cr>his good pleasure.

Philippians 2:13

Do all things <cr>1</cr>without grumbling or <cr>2</cr>disputing,

Philippians 2:14

that you may be blameless and innocent, <cr>1</cr>children of God <cr>2</cr>without blemish <cr>3</cr>in the midst of <cr>4</cr>a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine <cr>5</cr>as lights in the world,

Philippians 2:15

holding fast to <cr>1</cr>the word of life, so that in <cr>2</cr>the day of Christ <cr>3</cr>I may be proud that <cr>4</cr>I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Philippians 2:16

Even if I am to be <cr>1</cr>poured out as a drink offering upon <cr>2</cr>the sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all.

Philippians 2:17

Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Philippians 2:18

Philippians 2:19

I hope in the Lord Jesus <cr>1</cr>to send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you.

For I have no one <cr>1</cr>like him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare.

Philippians 2:20

For they all <cr>1</cr>seek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:21

But you know Timothy's<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr>proven worth, how <cr>2</cr>as a son<ft>2</ft> with a father <cr>3</cr>he has served with me in the gospel.

Philippians 2:22

I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me,

Philippians 2:23

and <cr>1</cr>I trust in the Lord that shortly I myself will come also.

Philippians 2:24

I have thought it necessary to send to you <cr>1</cr>Epaphroditus my brother and fellow worker and <cr>2</cr>fellow soldier, and your messenger and <cr>3</cr>minister to my need,

Philippians 2:25

for he has been longing for you all and has been distressed because you heard that he was ill.

Philippians 2:26

Indeed he was ill, near to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

Philippians 2:27

I am the more eager to send him, therefore, that you may rejoice at seeing him again, and that I may be less anxious.

Philippians 2:28

So <cr>1</cr>receive him in the Lord with all joy, and <cr>2</cr>honor such men,

Philippians 2:29

for he nearly died<ft>1</ft><cr>1</cr>for the work of Christ, risking his life <cr>2</cr>to complete what was lacking in your service to me.

Philippians 2:30

From Wikipedia: 

The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Bible. The ESV was published in 2001 by Crossway, having been "created by a team of more than 100 leading evangelical scholars and pastors." The ESV relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Crossway claim that the ESV continues a legacy begun by the Tyndale New Testament of precision and faithfulness in English translation of the original text, followed in the same standard by "the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971." Crossway describes the ESV as a translation that "emphasizes 'word-for-word' accuracy, literary excellence, and depth of meaning." Crossway also describes the ESV as a translation that adheres to an "essentially literal" translation philosophy, taking into account "differences in grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages."

The ESV is derived from the 1971 text edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV). ESV Translation Oversight Committee member Wayne Grudem claims that approximately eight percent (or about 60,000 words) of the 1971 RSV text being used for the ESV was revised as of first publication in 2001. Grudem states that the committee removed "every trace of liberal influence that had caused such criticism from evangelicals when the RSV was first published in 1952." Although, Grudem also states that much of the 1971 RSV text left unchanged by the committee "is simply 'the best of the best' of the KJV tradition."

With regard to gender language, the ESV Translation Oversight Committee state that "the goal of the ESV is to render literally what is in the original."[9] The committee expands on this position in claiming that, although the ESV avoids using gender-neutral language (for the purpose of preserving contextual meaning found in the original text), the translation does utilize gender-neutral language in specific cases. The committee further state that their objective was "transparency to the original text, allowing the reader to understand the original on its own terms rather than in the terms of our present-day Western culture."[9] The ESV Study Bible often details in its commentary why a complementarian interpretation of the original text may have been rendered in translation.
