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,

- Get wisdom, get understanding;
do not forget my words or turn away from them. - To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

But if a wicked person turns away from all the sins they have committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, that person will surely live; they will not die.Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.Next verse!With image
