Philippians 2:1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves

not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus

Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage

rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth

and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling

for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
