1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from
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 selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility
count others more significant 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, by taking the form of a servant, being born
in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by
becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the
name that is above every name,
10 so 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.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
II. We Must Live Our Lives In Humility. (v.5-8a)

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself...
For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me.”
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
III. We Must Live Our Lives Obediently. (v. 8)
