Philippians 2:1-4
1Therefore 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.
Reflection
Paul begins to tell the Philippians how to live out that life in the midst of persecution. Paul calls them to live a life of unity centered not on themselves but upon the gospel. In fact, Paul calls us to be humble. Reread verses 3 and 4. How do you think we, as Christians, can live this life out? How can you model this unity in your life?
