Philippians 2
Unity Through Humility
[sup]1[/sup] Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, [sup]2[/sup] fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. [sup]3[/sup] Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. [sup]4[/sup] Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
[sup]5[/sup] Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, [sup]6[/sup] who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, [sup]7[/sup] but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. [sup]8[/sup] And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. [sup]9[/sup] Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, [sup]10[/sup] that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, [sup]11[/sup] and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Amen!
