Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this mind in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, Who although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be taken advantage of, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in the appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the Name (Yahweh) which is above every name, so that at the Name of Jesus every knee will bow (Isaiah 45:23), of those who are in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus the Messiah/Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Phil 2:1-11)
