1 SO BY whatever strengthening and consoling and encouraging in Him , by whatever persuasive incentive there is in love, by whatever participation in the Spirit , and by whatever depth of affection and compassionate sympathy, 2 Fill up and complete my joy by living in harmony and being of the same mind and one in purpose, having the same love, being in full accord and of one harmonious mind and intention. 3 Do nothing from factional motives or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself . 4 Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. 5 Let this same attitude and purpose and mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God , did not think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped or retained, 7 But stripped Himself , so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being. 8 And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!
