1. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of charity, if any society of the spirit, if any bowels of commiseration:
2. Fulfil ye my joy, that you may be of one mind, having the same charity, being of one accord, agreeing in sentiment.
3. Let nothing be done through contention, neither by vain glory: but in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves:
4. Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's.
5. For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6. Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7. But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.
8. He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross.
