Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

but emptied himself of his glory by taking the form of a slave, when he was born in the likeness of men.

And indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him, and not on him only, but on me also so that I should not have sorrow upon sorrow.

for it was through the work of the Lord that he came near to death; for he hazarded his very life to supply what was lacking in the help you sent me.

But what was once gain to me, that I have counted loss for Christ.

For even while I was still in Thessalonica, you sent once and again for my needs.
