1 If then I can appeal to you as the followers of Christ, if there is any persuasive power in love and any common sharing of the Spirit, or if you have any tender-heartedness and compassion, make my joy complete by being of one mind,

2 united by mutual love, with harmony of feeling giving your minds to one and the same object.

3 Do nothing in a spirit of factiousness or of vainglory, but, with true humility, let every one regard the rest as being of more account than himself;

4 each fixing his attention, not simply on his own interests, but on those of others also.

5 Let the same disposition be in you which was in Christ Jesus.
