Philippians 2:3-8
New King James Version
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.

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