5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
5 Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself.
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Philippians 2:5
Commentary on Philippians 2:5-11
(Read Philippians 2:5-11)
The example of our Lord Jesus Christ is set before us. We must resemble him in his life, if we would have the benefit of his death. Notice the two natures of Christ; his Divine nature, and human nature. Who being in the form of God, partaking the Divine nature, as the eternal and only-begotten Son of God, John 5:23. Here we see such motives to self-denying love as nothing else can supply. Do we thus love and obey the Son of God?
