Philippians:1 – 5
¶Therefore if there is any
consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy,
2fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
3Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
4Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5¶Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Paul is writing to the church of Philppi in regards to strife and division in the church. In this passage Paul is defining our ” Christian Responsibility “. Paul is telling us we must look to and seek higher things. He is saying let our conduct be worthy of the Gospel that we say we believe and live by.
We should not be mislead by Pauls words. The “if” in verse one is not a maybe but an absolute. This “if” is better understood as “since”. We are to do these things because they are in us. Because of His Spirit which enables us to use these things.
Comfort of love
Fellowship of Spirit
Affection and Mercy
Like minded, having the same love, being of one mind.

“Let this mind be in you” literally means ” keep thinking like this”. Think as Yeshua.
