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.
