Philippians 2:3-11
Legacy Standard Bible
3 doing nothing [a]from [b](A)selfish ambition or (B)vain glory, but with humility of mind (C)regarding one another as more important than yourselves, 4 (D)not merely looking out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 (E)Have this way of thinking [c]in yourselves which was also in (F)Christ Jesus, 6 who, although (G)existing in the (H)form of God, (I)did not regard equality with God a thing [d]to be grasped, 7 but [e](J)emptied Himself, by taking the form of a (K)slave, by (L)being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, (M)He humbled Himself by becoming (N)obedient to the point of death, even (O)death [f]on a cross. 9 (P)Therefore, God also (Q)highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him (R)the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (S)every knee will bow, of (T)those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that (U)every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is [g](V)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:3-11
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)
