Do nothing from selfishness or empty
conceit, but with humility of mind let each of you regard one another as
more important than himself do not merely look out for your own personal
interests, but also for the interests of others.
Have this attitude
(present
imperative) in
yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus...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
(present
imperative) your
salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who is at work in you, both
to will and to work for His good pleasure.
Do
(present
imperative) all things
without grumbling or disputing that you may prove yourselves to be blameless
and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and
perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world (See notes Php 2:3-4;
5,
12;
13;
14-15)
DOWNLOAD
InstaVerse
for free. It is an easy to
install and simple to use Bible Verse pop up tool that allows you to read
cross references
in context and in the Version you prefer. Only the KJV is free with
this download but you can also download a free copy of
Bible Explorer
which in turn offers
free Bibles
that work with
InstaVerse,
including the excellent, literal translation, the English Standard Version
(ESV). Other popular versions are available for purchase. When you
hold the mouse pointer over a Scripture reference anywhere on the Web (as
well as offline in Word for Windows, email, etc) the passage pops up
immediately.
InstaVerse
can be disabled if the
popups become distractive. This utility really does work and makes it easy
to read the actual passage in context and not just the chapter and verse
reference.
DISCLAIMER: Before you "go to the commentaries"
go to the Scriptures and study them inductively (Click
here for 3 part overview of how to do
Inductive
Bible Study) in dependence on your Teacher, the
Holy Spirit, Who Jesus promised would
guide us into all the truth (John 16:13).
Remember that Scripture is always the best commentary on Scripture. Any
commentary, even those by the most conservative and orthodox teacher/preachers
cannot help but have at least some bias of the expositor based upon his training
and experience. Therefore the inclusion of specific links does not indicate that
we agree with every comment. We have made a sincere effort to select only the
most conservative, "bibliocentric" commentaries. Should you discover some
commentary or sermon you feel may not be orthodox, please email your concern. I
have removed several links in response to concerns by discerning readers. I
recommend that your priority be a steady intake of solid Biblical food so that
with practice you will have your spiritual senses trained to discern good from
evil (Heb5:14).
