5In your relationships with one another, have the same

mindset as Christ Jesus:6Who, being in very nature God,

did not consider equality with God something to be used

to his own advantage;7rather, he made himself nothing by

taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human

likeness. 8And being found in appearance as a man, He

humbled himself by becoming obedient to death even

death on a cross!PHILIPPIAnS2:58
