Philippians 2

¹If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

²Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

³Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

⁴Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

⁵Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

⁶To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

⁷But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

⁸And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

⁹For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

¹⁰So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

¹¹And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹²So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;
