Philippians 2:2-8
English Standard Version
2 (A)complete my joy by being (B)of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from (C)selfish ambition or (D)conceit, but in (E)humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you (F)look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 (G)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] 6 (H)who, though he was in (I)the form of God, did not count equality with God (J)a thing to be grasped,[b] 7 but (K)emptied himself, by taking the form of a (L)servant,[c] (M)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by (N)becoming obedient to the point of death, (O)even death on a cross.
