Philippians 2:3–11

³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. ⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

⁵Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

⁶Who, existing in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God

something to be grasped,^a

⁷but emptied Himself,

taking the form of a servant,

being made in human likeness.

⁸And being found in appearance as a man,

He humbled Himself

and became obedient to death —

even death on a cross.

⁹Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place

and gave Him the name above all names,

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.
