The passage opens with Paul's appeal for unity, humility, and mutual regard among the Philippian believers, urging them to set aside self-interest and consider others as more important than themselves. Its theological centerpiece is the \"Christ hymn\" (verses 6\u201311), which describes Christ's voluntary self-emptying (*kenosis*) \u2014 existing in the form of God yet taking on the form of a servant, humbling himself to death on a cross \u2014 followed by God's exaltation of him to universal lordship. Paul then exhorts the community to \"work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,\" grounding obedience in the conviction that God himself is the one working within them. The passage closes with practical travel notes: Paul commends Timothy as his most trusted emissary and explains why he is sending Epaphroditus back \u2014 the latter nearly died in service to Paul, and Paul wants the Philippians to honor such sacrificial faithfulness. The format is a scholarly or devotional reference tool, useful for comparing the Greek source against its two most influential Western translations side by side.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Philippians: Philippians 2","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1583}
