Philippians 2:5

Read in context

Philippians 2:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness.
