Philippians 2:1-13

If then there is any encouragement in Christ,

any consolation from love,

any sharing in the spirit,

any compassion and sympathy,

make my joy complete:

be of the same mind

having the same love

being in full accord and of one mind.

Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,

but in humility

regard others as better than yourselves.

Let each of you look not to your own interests,

but to the interests of others.

Let the same mind be in you

that was in Christ Jesus,

who, though he was in the form of God,

did not regard equality with God

as something to be exploited,

but emptied himself,

taking the form of a slave,

being born in human likeness.

And being found in human form,

he humbled himself and became obedient

to the point of death

even death on a cross.

Therefore God also highly exalted him

and gave him the name that is above every name,

so that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bend,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the father.

Therefore, my beloved,

just as you have always obeyed me,

not only in my presence,

but much more now in my absence,

work out your own salvation

with fear and trembling;

for it is God who is at work in you,

enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
