Philippians 2:3-11
Christian Standard Bible
3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition(A) or conceit,(B) but in humility(C) consider others as more important(D) than yourselves. 4 Everyone should look not to his own interests,(E) but rather to the interests of others.(F)
Christ’s Humility and Exaltation
5 Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,
6 who, existing in the form of God,
did not consider equality with God(G)
as something to be exploited.[a]
7 Instead he emptied himself(H)
by assuming the form of a servant,(I)
taking on the likeness of humanity.(J)
And when he had come as a man,
8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient
to the point of death—
even to death on a cross.(K)
9 For this reason God highly exalted him(L)
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10 so that at the name of Jesus
every knee will bow(M)—
in heaven(N) and on earth
and under the earth(O)—
11 and every tongue(P) will confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory(Q) of God the Father.

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.(A) 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.(B) 5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,(C)
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(D)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(E)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(F)
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,(G)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(H)
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.(I)
