Philippians 2:3-11

3Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.

4Each of you should be concerned not only about your own interests, but about the interests of others as well.

5You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had,

6who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped,

7but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature.

8He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross!

9As a result God exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name,

10so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow – in heaven and on earth and under the earth –

11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
