Imitating Christ’s Humility

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit,(A) if any tenderness and compassion,(B) then make my joy complete(C) by being like-minded,(D) having the same love, being one(E) in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(F) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(G)

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(A) This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(B) into the world that we might live through him.(C) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(D) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(E) 11 Dear friends,(F) since God so loved us,(G) we also ought to love one another.(H) 12 No one has ever seen God;(I) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(J)

13 This is how we know(K) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(L) 14 And we have seen and testify(M) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(N) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(O) God lives in them and they in God.(P) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love.(Q) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(R)

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
