Therefore, above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.

32. Philippians 2:1
if you have any encouragement from belonging to Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing – being community – in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,

33. Philippians 2:2
Then complete my joy  by being like-minded by loving each other and others, by being united in spirit, and by having one purpose.

34. Philippians 2:3
Instead of being motivated  by selfish ambition or by pushing or sweet talking your way to the top, each of you should, in humility, treat one another as more important than yourself.

35. Philippians 2:4
Each of you should be concerned not just about your own interests, but also about the interests of others.

36. Philippians 2:5
Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself MSG have the same mindset as Christ Jesus NIV have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had NLT

37. Philippians 2:6
Even though he was in very nature God, he did not think of equality with God as something to be used to his own advantage.

38. Philippians 2:7
Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took on the position of a slave he became human and stayed human.

39. Philippians 2:8
When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself. He lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death—and the worst kind of death at that—a crucifixion– a criminal’s death on a cross.
