Philippians 2:1-7

1ThereforeG3767 ifG1487 there is anyG5100 encouragementG3874 in ChristG5547, ifG1487 anyG5100 consolationG3890 of loveG26, ifG1487 anyG5100 1fellowshipG2842 of the SpiritG4151, ifG1487 anyG5100 23affectionG4698 and compassionG3628,

24makeG4137 my joyG5479 completeG4137 5by 6beingG5426 ofG5426 the sameG846 mindG5426, maintainingG2192 the sameG846 loveG26, unitedG4861 inG4861 spiritG4861, intentG5426 onG5426 oneG1520 purposeG5426.

3Do nothingG3367 7from 89selfishnessG2052 orG3366 10emptyG2754 conceitG2754, but with humilityG5012 11considerG2233 oneG240 anotherG240 as moreG5242 importantG5242 than yourselvesG1438;

412do not merely lookG4648 outG4648 forG4648 your ownG1438 personalG1538 interests, but alsoG2532 for the interests of othersG2087.

513HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 14in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 15ChristG5547 JesusG2424,

6whoG3739, as He already 16existedG5225 in the 17formG3444 of GodG2316, 18did not considerG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 somethingG725 toG725 beG725 19graspedG725,

7but 2021emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438 by takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 22bond-servantG1401 and 2324beingG1096 bornG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444.
