Imitating Christ's Humility

2 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any comfort from love, if there is any fellowship in the Spirit, if there is any compassion or mercy, 2 make my joy complete by adopting the same mindset, having the same love, being united in spirit, and having one purpose. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility regard others as more important than yourselves. 4 None of you should look out for your own interests, but for the interests of others. 5 [fn]Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited, 7 but emptied himself by taking the form of a servant and being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every other name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
