The New Testament does not use the noun form kénōsis, but the verb form kenóō occurs five times (Romans 4:14; 1 Corinthians 1:17, 9:15; 2 Corinthians 9:3; Philippians 2:7) and the future form kenōsei once. [a] Of these five times, Philippians 2:7 is generally considered the most significant for the Christian idea of kenosis:
Letter B consists of Philippians 1:1–3:1, and may also include 4:4–9 and 4:21–23. Letter C consists of Philippians 3:2–4:1, and may also include 4:2–3. It is a testament to Paul's rejection of all worldly things for the sake of the gospel of Jesus. [6]: 19
They were female members of the church in Philippi, and according to the text of Philippians 4: 2–3, they were involved in a disagreement together.

Philippians 3:2 is translated as "beware of the dogs" or "beware of dogs" in the King James Bible and many other editions. [5] For example: Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. This is often interpreted as a euphemism, bad people having been described as dogs in a number of previous biblical passages. [6]
It is highly probable that 1 and 2 Timothy were known and used by Polycarp in his epistle to the Philippians. [21] Polycarp is known to have died around 155–167, so this would seem to set an upper limit for the dating of the pastoral epistles.
