Philippians 2:3-9
3Do nothing 1from 23selfishness or 4empty conceit, but with humility 5consider one another as more important than yourselves;
46do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
57Have this attitude 8in yourselves which was also in 9Christ Jesus,
6who, as He already 10existed in the 11form of God, 12did not consider equality with God something to be 13grasped,
7but 1415emptied Himself by taking the form of a 16bond-servant and 1718being born in the likeness of men.
8And being found in appearance as a man, 19He humbled Himself by becoming 20obedient to the point of death: 21death 22on a cross.
923For this reason also God 24highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him 25the name which is above every name,
