You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

Though he was God,
 
he did not think of equality with God
 
as something to cling to.

Instead,
 
he gave up his divine privileges;
 
he took the humble position of a slave
 
and was born as a human being.
 
When he appeared in human form,

he humbled himself in obedience to God
 
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Philippians 2:5-8
