Christ’s Example of Humility (PHP 2:1-11)

[2:1] So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,

[2:2] complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

[2:3] Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

[2:4] Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.

[2:5] Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,

[2:6] who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,

[2:7] but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

[2:8] And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

[2:9] Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,

[2:10] so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

[2:11] and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
