1 So then, as Christians, do you have any encouragement? Do you have any comfort from love? Do you have any spiritual relationships? Do you have any sympathy and compassion?
2 Then fill me with joy by having the same attitude and the same love, living in harmony, and keeping one purpose in mind.
3 Don’t act out of selfish ambition or be conceited. Instead, humbly think of others as being better than yourselves.
4 Don’t be concerned only about your own interests, but also be concerned about the interests of others.
5 Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Although he was in the form of God and equal with God,he did not take advantage of this equality.
7 Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant,by becoming like other humans,by having a human appearance.
