Read the passage in context
- Philippians 2:1–11 · KJV
Philippians 2 starts with a community appeal and then points to the example of Christ. His life gives substance to the command to look to others’ interests.
From the passage to daily life
Read verses 3–4 before reading verses 5–11. Ask where attention to another person’s needs could change the outcome of a decision.
