SCRIPTURE
Philippians 2: 1-11
If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love,
any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, 2 make my joy
complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of
one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you
look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. 5 Let
the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he
was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be
exploited, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being
born in human likeness. And being found in human form, 8 he humbled
himself and became obedient to the point of death-- even death on a cross. 9
Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every
name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
