Philippians 2:1-11

Christ’s Humility and Exaltation

Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any ^afellowship of the Spirit, if any ¹^baffection and compassion, 2 ^afulfill my joy, that ^byou think the same way, by maintaining the same love, being united in spirit, thinking on one purpose, 3 doing nothing ¹from ²^aselfish ambition or ^bvain glory, but with humility of mind ^cregarding one another as more important than yourselves, 4 ^anot merely looking out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 ^aHave this way of thinking ¹in yourselves which was also in ^bChrist Jesus, 6 who, although ^aexisting in the ^bform of God, ^cdid not regard equality with God a thing ¹to be grasped, 7 but ¹^aemptied Himself, by taking the form of a ^bslave, by ^cbeing made in the likeness of men. 8 Being found in appearance as a man, ^aHe humbled Himself by becoming ^bobedient to the point of death, even ^cdeath ¹on a cross. 9 ^aTherefore, God also ^bhighly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him ^cthe name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus ^aevery knee will bow, of ^bthose who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that ^aevery tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is ¹^bLord, to the glory of God the Father.
