  Paul’s Letter To The Philippians

4 - Let each of you look not only to their own interests, but also to the interests of the others. 5 Have this mind among you, which is yours in Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form [morphé - form, appearance, nature] of God, didn’t count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, and was born in the likeness of mankind. 8 And being found as human, he fully humbled himself by becoming obedient even to the point of death, even death on a (Roman) cross. {Sacrificed on the altar of empire.} 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed upon him the name that is above every other name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, all those who are in heaven and all upon earth and all under [katachthonios - from kata - down, under, and chthōn - earth, ground], 11 for every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

  Paul’s Letter To The Philippians

27 - Let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the truth of the gospel, 28 and not frightened or intimidated by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their ruin, but of your salvation life from God. 29 For it’s been granted to you, for the sake of Christ, that you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake. 30 For you have been having the same conflict that you saw me have, and hear I still have.

     2:1 - So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, 2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others as better than yourselves.
