Philippians 2:3-11
New American Standard Bible
3 Do nothing [a]from [b](A)selfishness or (B)empty conceit, but with humility (C)consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 (D)do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 (E)Have this attitude [c]in yourselves which was also in (F)Christ Jesus, 6 who, as He already (G)existed in the (H)form of God, (I)did not consider equality with God something to be [d]grasped, 7 but [e](J)emptied Himself by taking the form of a (K)bond-servant and [f](L)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, (M)He humbled Himself by becoming (N)obedient to the point of death: (O)death [g]on a cross. 9 (P)For this reason also God (Q)highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him (R)the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (S)every knee will bow, of (T)those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is (U)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

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.
