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.  
9 aTherefore God also bhas highly exalted Him and cgiven Him the name which is above every name,  
10 athat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,  
11 and athat every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
