1 | So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any incentive of love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, |
2 | complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. |
3 | Do nothing from selfishness or conceit, but in humility count others better than yourselves. |
4 | Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. |
5 | Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, |
6 | who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, |
7 | but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. |
8 | And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. |
9 | Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, |
10 | that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, |
11 | and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. |
