Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? ²If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose. ³When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. ⁴Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.

Be Unselfish Like Christ

⁵In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.

⁶Christ himself was like God in everything.

But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.

⁷But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.

He was born as a man

and became like a servant.

⁸And when he was living as a man,

he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God,

even when that caused his death—death on a cross.

⁹So God raised him to the highest place.

God made his name greater than every other name

¹⁰so that every knee will bow to the name of Jesus—

everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

Read in Logos

Philippians 2:8: And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
