The Incarnation of Christ
"Christ Jesus…being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." (Philippians 2:5-7)
Others' Things
"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." (Philippians 2:4)
Our responsibility is to think like the Lord Jesus, part of which requires "looking" (marking, identifying) matters beyond our own concerns.
Esteem Others
"Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." (Philippians 2:3)
In this verse, Paul challenged us to refrain from any "strife" or "vainglory"--words that seem a bit stern in the colloquial terms of our day.
Likeminded
"Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind." (Philippians 2:2)
