nothing by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming each other to be higher than himself;[a]

not beholding each by himself what things be his own, but those things that be of other men. [not each by themselves beholding what things be their own, but those things that be of others.]

And feel ye this thing in you, which was also in Christ Jesus;

which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, that himself were even to God; [which when he was in the form of God, deemed not raven, himself to be even to God;]

but he lowed himself [but he meeked himself], taking the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men,

and in habit was found as a man. He meeked himself, and was made obedient to the death[b], yea, to the death of the cross.

For which thing God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all name; [For which thing and God enhanced him, and gave to him a name that is above all names;]

10 that in the name of Jesus each knee be bowed, of heavenly things, [and] of earthly things, and of hell's;

11 and each tongue acknowledge, that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father.

  1. Philippians 2:3 nothing doing, neither by strife, neither by vain glory, but in meekness, deeming higher than themselves together, or each holding others higher in virtue;
  2. Philippians 2:8 He meeked himself, made obedient unto the death/till to death

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(A) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(B) not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(C)

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(D)

Who, being in very nature[a] God,(E)
    did not consider equality with God(F) something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing(G)
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(H)
    being made in human likeness.(I)
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death(J)
        even death on a cross!(K)

Therefore God exalted him(L) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,(M)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(N)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(O)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(P)
    to the glory of God the Father.
