Exhortations in Philippians

Exhortations in Philippians
1:27-29
·      Conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel
·      Stand firm in one spirit, with one mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel
·      Do not be alarmed by your opponents
·      Expect to suffer for Christ’s sake

2:1-5
·      Be of the same mind, maintain the same love, stay united in spirit, remain intent on one purpose
·      Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit
·      With humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves
·      As you look out for your own interests, look out, too, for the interests of others
·      Have the same attitude of humility in you, which was also in Christ Jesus

2:12
·      Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling

2:14-16
·      Do all things without grumbling or disputing, thus proving yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God who are above reproach
·      Stand firm in the midst of this crooked and perverse world (generation)
·      Shine as lights in the world
·      Hold fast the Word of Life until the Day of Christ

2:18
·      Rejoice, and share your joy with others

2:29
·      Receive godly men like Timothy and Epaphroditus in the Lord, with all joy, and hold men like them in high regard

3:1-2
·      Rejoice in the Lord
·      Beware of the dogs, the evil workers, and the false circumcision

4:1-2
·      Stand firm in the Lord
·      Live in harmony in the Lord

4:4-6
·      Rejoice in the Lord always. REJOICE!
·      In light of the Lord’s soon return, let your gentle spirit be known to all men
·      Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God

4:8-9
·      Dwell only on those things that are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent, and worthy of praise
·      Put into practice the things we have learned, received, heard, and seen in our spiritual mentors such as Paul

4:21

·      Greet every saint in Christ Jesus
