Philippians 2:1-8

Imitating Christ’s Humility

[1] 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, [2] then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. [3] Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, [4] not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

[5] In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

[6] Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

[7] rather, he made himself nothing

by taking the very nature of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

[8] And being found in appearance as a man,

he humbled himself

by becoming obedient to death—

even death on a cross!
