Philippians 2:1-8
1Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any 1fellowship of the Spirit, if any 23affection and compassion,
24make my joy complete 5by 6being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
3Do nothing 7from 89selfishness or 10empty conceit, but with humility 11consider one another as more important than yourselves;
412do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
513Have this attitude 14in yourselves which was also in 15Christ Jesus,
6who, as He already 16existed in the 17form of God, 18did not consider equality with God something to be 19grasped,
7but 2021emptied Himself by taking the form of a 22bond-servant and 2324being born in the likeness of men.
8And being found in appearance as a man, 25He humbled Himself by becoming 26obedient to the point of death: 27death 28on a cross.
