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

⁶ But ^(A)he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ^(B)“God opposes the proud but ^(C)gives grace to the humble.” ⁷ Submit yourselves therefore to God. ^(D)Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ^8 (E)Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. ^(F)Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and ^(G)purify your hearts, ^(H)you double-minded. ^9 (I)Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. ^10 (J)Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

^6 (A)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
