Philippians 2:1-8 ▼

1 If then there be any christian consolation, any charitable relief, any communion of the spirit, if any tenderness of compassion,

2 compleat my joy, by pursuing the same view, living in mutual love, by being unanimous, and cultivating that harmony.

3 Do nothing out of a spirit of contention, or for vain-glory, but modestly look upon others as if they were better than yourselves.

4 let no man consult only his private interest, but let every man consult likewise the interest of others.

5 for the same temper of mind ought to be in you as was in Christ Jesus:

6 who tho' he was the image of God, did not affect to appear with divine majesty, but divested himself thereof,

7 by assuming the form of a servant: being made in the likeness of men,

8 and his whole exterior showing nothing more than a meer man, he abased himself, and carried his submission so far as to die, even the death of the cross.
