So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
—Philippians 2:12
Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
—Philippians 2:2
Paul helped the Philippians by encouraging them to be of the same mind and united in spirit (Phil. 2:2). This was only possible by their letting the mind of Christ be in them (v. 5).
Adapted from Philippians: “That I May Gain Christ,” page 113.
