Philippians 2:2–8
2 make my joy complete by thinking the same way,d having the same love,e united in spirit, intent on onef purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambitiong or conceit,h but in humilityi consider others as more importantj than yourselves. 4 Everyone should look not to his own interests,k but rather to the interests of others.l
CHRIST’S HUMILITY AND EXALTATION
5 Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with Godm
as something to be exploited.A
7 Instead he emptied himselfn
by assuming the form of a servant,o
taking on the likeness of humanity.p
And when he had come as a man,
8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.q
