Philippians 2:4-9

41do not merely lookG4648 out for your ownG1438 personalG1538 interests, but alsoG2532 for the interests of othersG2087.

52HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 3in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 4ChristG5547 JesusG2424,

6whoG3739, although He 5existedG5225 in the 6formG3444 of GodG2316, 7did not regardG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 a thingG725 to be 8graspedG725,

7but 910emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438, takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 11bond-servantG1401, and 12beingG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444.

917For thisG1352 reasonG1352 alsoG2532, GodG2316 18highlyG5251 exaltedG5251 Him, and bestowedG5483 on Him 19the nameG3686 which is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686,
