not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(A)

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

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

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

  2. Philippians 2:7 Or the form

Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
