Philippians 2:1

Philippians 2:1

Unity Through Humility

1 Therefore if there is any¹ consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any ^aaffection and mercy,

2 ^afulfill my joy ^bby being like-minded, having the same love, being of ^cone accord, of one mind.

3 ^aLet nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but ^bin lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

4 ^aLet each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of ^bothers.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

5 ^aLet this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

6 who, ^abeing in the form of God, did not consider it¹ robbery to be equal with God,

7 ^abut¹ made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^bof a bondservant, and ^ccoming in the likeness of men.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^abecame ^bobedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
