Philippians 2:3-11

3 Do nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind each esteeming others better than themselves. 4 Look not every one to his own interests only, but every one also to the concerns of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be as God. 7 Yet He emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, when made in the likeness of men: 8 and being in the human state, He humbled himself, and was obedient even unto death, and that the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name above every name: 10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of celestial beings, as well as of those on earth, and of those under the earth; 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

James 4:6
