2 then do what will make my joy complete: Agree with each other, and show your love for each other. Be united in your goals and in the way you think.
3 In whatever you do, don’t let selfishness or pride be your guide. Be humble, and honor others more than yourselves.
4 Don’t be interested only in your own life, but care about the lives of others too.
5 In your life together, think the way Christ Jesus thought.
6 He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit.
7 Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God. He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form. During his life as a man,
8 he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross.
