Philippians 2:3-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 doing nothing based-on selfish-interest nor based on conceit, but with humble-mindedness regarding one another as surpassing[a] yourselves; 4 not each looking-out-for your own things, but also each the things of others.
Think And Behave Like Christ Did
5 Be thinking[b] this in you, which also was in Christ Jesus— 6 Who, while[c] being[d] in the form[e] of God, did not regard the being equal with God a thing-to-be-grasped[f], 7 but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a slave, having come[g] in the likeness[h] of humans[i]. And having been found as a man in outward-appearance, 8 He humbled Himself, having become obedient to the point of death— and a death of a cross! 9 Therefore God also highly-exalted Him, and granted Him the name above every name 10 in-order-that every knee should bow at the name of Jesus— of heavenly ones and earthly ones and ones under-the-earth— 11 and every tongue should confess-out[j] that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
