EACH OF YOU

Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned

for not merely his own interests, but also each for the

interests of others.

Let this attitude and purpose and humble mind be in you

which was in Christ Jesus:

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,

But stripped Himself of all privileges and rightful dignity,

so as to assume the guise of a servant, in that He became

like men and was born a human being.

And after He had appeared in  human form, He abased

and humbled Himself still further and carried His obedience

to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

Therefore God has highly exalted Him and has freely

bestowed on Him the Name that is above every name,

That in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in

heaven and on earth and under the earth,

And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.
