Philippians 2:2-8
21make my joy complete 2by 3being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
3Do nothing 4from 56selfishness or 7empty conceit, but with humility of mind 8regard one another as more important than yourselves;
49do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
510Have this attitude 11in yourselves which was also in 12Christ Jesus,
6who, although He 13existed in the 14form of God, 15did not regard equality with God a thing to be 16grasped,
7but 1718emptied Himself, taking the form of a 19bond-servant, and 20being made in the likeness of men.
8Being found in appearance as a man, 21He humbled Himself by becoming 22obedient to the point of death, even 23death 24on a cross.
