Imitating Christ's Humility

(Philippians 2: 1-11)

1: Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,


2: then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.


3: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,


4: not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.


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


6: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;


7: rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.


8: And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!


9: Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,


10: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,


11: and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
