Context of Philippians 2:2

1If there istherefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. 4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
