Christ's Example of Humility

2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from ^(A)love, any ^(B)participation in the Spirit, any ^(C)affection and sympathy, ^2 (D)complete my joy by being ^(E)of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. ³ Do nothing from ^(F)selfish ambition or ^(G)conceit, but in ^(H)humility count others more significant than yourselves. ⁴ Let each of you ^(I)look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. ^5 (J)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,^[a]

¹⁵ For ^(A)it is all for your sake, so that as ^(B)grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, ^(C)to the glory of God.

¹⁶ So we do not lose heart. ^(D)Though our outer self^[a] is wasting away, ^(E)our inner self ^(F)is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For ^(G)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, ^18 (H)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
