Philippians 2:5-8 Part 3 of 3

In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death--even death on a cross!  

and being made in human likeness  
John 1:14  The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father full of grace and truth.
Romans 8:3-4  For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Hebrews 2:17  For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death 
Matthew 26:39  Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
John 10:17-18  "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
Romans 5:19  For just as through the disobedience of the one man (Adam) the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man (Jesus) the many will be made righteous.

even death on a cross! 
1 Corinthians 1:23-24  ... but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Who, being in very nature God 
Colossians 1:15-17  The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things and in him all things hold together.
Hebrews 1:3  The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 

did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage 
John 5:18  For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
John 10:30  "I and the Father are one."
John 10:33  "We are not stoning you for any good work," they replied, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God."
John 19:7  The Jewish leaders insisted, "We have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the Son of God."

rather he made himself nothing 
2 Corinthians 8:9  For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

by taking the very nature of a servant 
Matthew 20:28  "...just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Philippians 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit 
Galatians 5:26  Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. 

Rather, in humility value others above yourselves 
Romans 12:10  Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
1 Peter 5:5-7  In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." (Proverbs 3:34) Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others 
1 Corinthians 10:24  No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
1 Corinthians 10:33  ...even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved. 
Romans 15:1-2  We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
1 Corinthians 13:5  It (love) does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
