Philippians 2.1-17
True Humility
"Christ encourages you, and his love comforts you. God's Spirit unites
you, and you are concerned for others. Now make me completely happy!
Live in harmony by showing love for each other. Be united in what you
think, as if you were only one person. Don't be jealous or proud, but
be humble and consider others more important than yourselves. Care
about them as much as you care about yourselves and think the same
way that Christ Jesus thought: Christ was truly God. But he did not
try to remain equal with God. Instead he gave up everything and became
a slave, when he became like one of us. Christ was humble. He obeyed
God and even died on a cross. Then God gave Christ the highest place
and honored his name above all others. So at the name of Jesus
everyone will bow down, those in heaven, on earth, and under the
earth. And to the glory of God the Father everyone will openly agree,
"Jesus Christ is Lord!"
