Philippians 2:1-8 ▼

1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

2 fulfill my joy, that you think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose,

3 doing nothing from selfish ambition or vain glory, but with humility of mind regarding one another as more important than yourselves,

4 not merely looking out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

5 Have this way of thinking in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,

6 who, although existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,

7 but emptied Himself, by taking the form of a slave, by being made in the likeness of men.

8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
