Philippians 2:1-11

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

2 Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

3 Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self let everyone take others to be better than himself;

4 Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.

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

6 To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God;

7 But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

8 And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.

9 For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

10 So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

11 And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

New International Version NIV

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 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.

3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,

4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
