3 Don't do anything from selfish ambition or from a cheap desire to boast, but be humble towards one another, always considering others better than yourselves.
4 And look out for one another's interests, not just for your own.
5 The attitude you should have is the one that Christ Jesus had:
6 He always had the nature of God,but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God.
7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had,and took the nature of a servant.He became like a human beingand appeared in human likeness.
8 He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death —his death on the cross.
9 For this reason God raised him to the highest place aboveand gave him the name that is greater than any other name.
