Philippians 2:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore, if there is any encouragement in the Messiah, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit, if there is any compassion and sympathy,

2 then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind.

3 Do not act out of selfish ambition or conceit, but with humility think of others as being better than yourselves.

4 Do not be concerned about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.

5 Have the same attitude among yourselves that was also in the Messiah Jesus:

6 In God's own form existed he, and shared with God equality, deemed nothing needed grasping.

7 Instead, poured out in emptiness, a servant's form did he possess, a mortal man becoming. In human form he chose to be,

8 and lived in all humility, death on a cross obeying.
