“Do nothing from conceit, but inlook not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, the form of God, did not count equality with God emptied himself, by taking the form of a being born in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:3-6 We have been talking about this passage in our community group, and it has been on my heart for the past few weeks.
