New American Standard Bible NAS
New International Version NIV
1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,
1
Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,
2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
2
then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.
3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
4
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
5
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
6
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
7
rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
8
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!
9 For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
