^4 (A)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of ^(B)others.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

^5 (C)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, ^(D)being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[a]robbery to be equal with God, ^7 (E)but ^[b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(F)of a bondservant, and ^(G)coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(H)became ^(I)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

Bearing Others’ Burdens

15 We ^(A)then who are strong ought to bear with the ^[a]scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. ^2 (B)Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to ^[b]edification. ^3 (C)For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, ^(D)“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.” ⁴ For ^(E)whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the ^[c]patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
