Philippians 2:2-8
World English Bible
2 make my joy full by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 3 doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself; 4 each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, yes, the death of the cross.

Philippians 2:2-8
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention.
3 Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves].
4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.
5 Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]
6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [[a]possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not [b]think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped [c]or retained,
7 But stripped Himself [of all privileges and [d]rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.
8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

2 then make my joy complete(A) by being like-minded,(B) having the same love, being one(C) in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(D) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(E) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(F)
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(G)
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(H)
did not consider equality with God(I) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(J)
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(K)
being made in human likeness.(L)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death(M)—
even death on a cross!(N)
