Therefore if there is any encouragement, <br /> if there is any consolation of love, <br /> if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, <br /> if any affection and compassion, <br /> make my joy complete by being of the same mind, <br /> maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. <br /> <br />Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, <br /> but with humility of mind regard one another <br /> as more important than yourselves; <br /> do not merely look out for your own personal interests, <br /> but also for the interests of others. <br /> <br /> with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, <br /> not in the way of eye-service, as men-pleasers, <br /> doing the will of God from the heart, <br /> rendering service with a good will and not to men. <br /> <br />21.
