4: Let the same mind

1: And Attitude

2: And Purpose

All: Be in you

3: that was also in Christ Jesus

4: Who being in very nature God,

1: did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

3: but made himself nothing,

2: taking the very nature of a servant,

1: being made in human likeness.

All: he humbled himself

All: and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
