“When God divided the inheritance, remember; “Jesus being equal with God, thought it not a prize to be grasped...retained, and made himself of no reputation, and took upon himself the form of man” [Phil 2:6-7], just the same as you and I had to, and we were in that same ideated form, ideation of God, to step forth into a spirit-body, which we bypassed, and are now here through human instrumentality, which he bypassed a human instrumentality, but came through flesh.”

“Now what the word fashion is ‘schema,’ a figure of fashion is translated fashion in 1 Cor 7:31 or the world signifying that which comprises the manner of life, actions, etc. In Phil 2:8 is used of the Lord in His being found in fashion as a man, and signifies what He was in the eyes of men, the entire outwardly perceptible mode and shape of His existence, just as the proceeding word ‘morphe.’”

¹⁴Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

¹⁵That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

¹⁶Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

¹⁷Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.

¹⁸For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.

¹⁹But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

²⁰For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.

²¹For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.

²²But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.

²³Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.

²⁴But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.

²⁵Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.

²⁶For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.

²⁷For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

²⁸I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.

²⁹Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:

³⁰Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
