2 If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose.
3 When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves.
4 Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others.
5 In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus.
6 Christ himself was like God in everything.But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.
7 But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.He was born as a manand became like a servant.
8 And when he was living as a man,he humbled himself and was fully obedient to God,even when that caused his death—death on a cross.
