Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA
New International Version NIV
1 Your life in Christ makes you strong, and his love comforts you. You have fellowship with the Spirit, and you have kindness and compassion for one another.
1
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2 I urge you, then, to make me completely happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and being one in soul and mind.
2
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
3 Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble toward one another, always considering others better than yourselves.
3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
4 And look out for one another's interests, not just for your own.
4
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
