The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

2:1IF there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,

2:2Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

2:3Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

2:4Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.

2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

2:6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

2:7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

2:8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

2:9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

2:10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

2:11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
