^3 (A)Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but ^(B)in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ^4 (C)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of ^(D)others.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

^5 (E)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, ^(F)being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[a]robbery to be equal with God, ^7 (G)but ^[b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(H)of a bondservant, and ^(I)coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(J)became ^(K)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
