5. "Do nothing from selfish ambition, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Each should look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who being in very nature God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, and becoming like man. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at every name everyone may kneel before him, whether they be heavenly beings or earthly creatures, and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. To the glory of God the Father, honor belongs to Him—Honor your mother and father." - Philippians 2:3-5 (NIV)
This passage encourages us to prioritize others' interests over our own and to emulate Christ's humility. The final sentence reminds us to honor both our heavenly Father and our earthly mothers and fathers.
