Philippians 2:4-8

41do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

52Have this attitude 3in yourselves which was also in 4Christ Jesus,

6who, although He 5existed in the 6form of God, 7did not regard equality with God a thing to be 8grasped,

7but 910emptied Himself, taking the form of a 11bond-servant, and 12being made in the likeness of men.

8Being found in appearance as a man, 13He humbled Himself by becoming 14obedient to the point of death, even 15death 16on a cross.
