can you identify what verses give you the impression of a chip on the
shoulder? Is it maybe the nature of the ironic rebuke that leaves this
impression if you read it as a whine rather than irony?

without specific verses (sorry if I missed them in a prior post) it is hard
to be specific in response. (I do see you calling 2:6 sarcastic - he puts
himself down in Phil 3:12; and also 1 Cor 9:27 - it is not as if he is
important in himself - Gal 1:8 even he could not preach against his own
gospel. 2:6 does not read as sarcasm to me.)
