Philippians 2:2-4
New International Version
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)
Philippians 2:2-4
The Message
He Took on the Status of a Slave
2 1-4 If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
