Philippians 2:3-11
New International Version

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.(A) Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,(B) 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.(C)

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:(D)

6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(E)
    did not consider equality with God(F) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(G)
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(H)
    being made in human likeness.(I)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death(J)—
        even death on a cross!(K)

9 Therefore God exalted him(L) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,(M)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,(N)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(O)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,(P)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:3-11
Common English Bible

3 Don’t do anything for selfish purposes, but with humility think of others as better than yourselves. 4 Instead of each person watching out for their own good, watch out for what is better for others. 5 Adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus:

6 Though he was in the form of God,
        he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit.
7 But he emptied himself
        by taking the form of a slave
        and by becoming like human beings.
When he found himself in the form of a human,
8         he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,
        even death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God highly honored him
        and gave him a name above all names,
10     so that at the name of Jesus everyone
        in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow
11         and every tongue confess
            that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
