Paul's Epistle to the Philippians Chapter 2:1-7 (4 of 16)
Harley Howard
Let this mind be in you, the mind of Christ. Verses 1-11
1 If [there be] therefore any consolation in Christ, if any
comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
bowels and mercies,
This chapter is probably the greatest chapter in the bible
on the subject of humility. Paul is going to address this
issue in detail in this chapter, which should end any
discussion on how to be humble, and what or who is the
standard or example by which the believer is to emulate
humility. Humility begins with the right mind of oneself
and of others in the body. Without humility there can be no

CONSOLATION IN (THROUGH) CHRIST: Exhortation, admonition,
encouragement, which comes by way of Christ.

consoling one another.
FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Association, community,

BOWELS AND MERCIES: The seat of the tender affections, esp.
kindness, benevolence, compassion; hence our heart (tender
mercies, affections, etc.) A heart in which mercy resides.
2 Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same
love, [being] of one accord, of one mind.
Make my joy filled to the full. Paul said to them to
literally, "Be the cause of my joy." How? All of what he
requested in verse 1 and following in verse 2 and beyond.
That you be likeminded. What does it mean to be likeminded?
It means, to be of the same mind i.e. agreed together,
cherish the same views to be harmonious. Believers should
be walking this way because we have th ...
