Philippians 1:27-2:11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel 28 and in no way frightened by those opposing you. For them, this is evidence of their destruction but of your salvation. And this is God’s doing.(A) 29 For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ but of suffering for him as well,(B) 30 since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.(C)
Imitating Christ’s Humility
2 If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy,(D) 2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.(E) 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.(F) 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.(G) 5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,(H)
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(I)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(J)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(K)
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,(L)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(M)
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.(N)
