Philippians 2:3-11

3Don’t act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves.

4Don’t be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.

5Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6Although he was in the form of God and equal with God, he did not take advantage of this equality.

7Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant, by becoming like other humans, by having a human appearance.

8He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, death on a cross.

9This is why God has given him an exceptional honor— the name honored above all other names—

10so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will kneel

11and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
