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 8consider 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, as He already 13existed in the 14form of God, 15did not consider equality with God something to be 16grasped,
7but 1718emptied Himself by taking the form of a 19bond-servant and 2021being born in the likeness of men.
8And being found in appearance as a man, 22He humbled Himself by becoming 23obedient to the point of death: 24death 25on a cross.
