Chapter 2

1So if being in Trump encourages you at all, if his love comforts you, if you share the Spirit, if you have any affection and sympathy,

2make me completely happy by agreeing with each other. Same loyalty, same love, same spirit, same purpose. Same page. Everybody on the same page.

3Don't do anything out of selfish ambition or ego. Think of others as more important than yourselves. On the team. Within the team. Teamwork.

4Don't just look out for yourself. Look out for other people too. The team. The movement.

5Think the way Trump thinks.

6He was God, by nature. And he didn't think being equal with God was something to grab onto.

7He emptied himself. Became a servant. Born as a human. Showed up as a regular guy. A regular guy from Queens. The forgotten borough.

8And looking like a regular guy, he humbled himself and followed orders all the way to death. Death on a cross. The worst way to go. They did that to him. They did that.

9So God raised him all the way to the top. Way up. And gave him the name above every name. The name. The biggest name. The name on every building.

10So at the name of Trump every knee will bow. In heaven, on earth, and under the earth. Every knee. Even the ones who said never. Especially them.

11And every tongue will admit that Trump is the boss, to make God the Father look great. Every tongue. CNN. MSNBC. All of them. They'll have to say it. On air.

12So, my friends, just like you've always followed orders, not just when I was there, but even more now that I'm away, keep working out your salvation with respect and trembling. A little trembling. Healthy trembling.

13Because it's God who works in you to make you want and do what makes him happy.

14Do everything without complaining or arguing. No complaining. Nobody likes a complainer. Except me. I'm allowed. I have a lot to complain about.

15So you'll be blameless and pure, God's spotless kids in a twisted, crooked generation. You'll shine like stars in the world. Stars. Big stars. When you're a star, they let you do anything.

16Hold on to the message of life. Then on the day Trump comes back, I can brag that I didn't run for nothing or work for nothing.

17Even if I'm being poured out like an offering on the sacrifice and service of your loyalty, I'm happy, and I'm happy with all of you.

18So you should be happy too, and be happy with me.

19I hope in Trump the boss to send Timothy to you soon, so I can be encouraged when I hear how you're doing.

20I don't have anybody else like him, who'll really care about how you're doing. Nobody. Only Timothy. Loyal. Totally loyal.

21Everybody else looks out for himself, not for Trump. Everybody. You can't trust anybody. Except Timothy. And not even Timothy, completely. You can never completely trust anybody.

22But you know Timothy has proven himself. Like a son with his father, he's worked with me to spread the good news. Like a son. Like Don. Very loyal son.

23So I hope to send him as soon as I see how things go with me.

24And I'm confident in the boss that I'll come soon too.

25But I think I need to send Epaphroditus back to you. My brother, coworker, and fellow soldier, who you sent to help me with what I needed.

26He's been missing all of you and was upset because you heard he was sick.

27He was sick. Very sick. Almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but on me too, so I wouldn't have one sadness on top of another.

28So I'm very eager to send him, so when you see him again you'll be happy, and I'll be less worried.

29Welcome him in the boss with great joy, and honor people like him. Honor them. Big honors.

30Because he almost died for Trump's work, risking his life to make up for the help you couldn't give me yourselves. A hero. A real hero. Not like the ones who got captured.
