Philippians 2:6–11

In this famous section of Scripture, Paul describes the "emptying" of the Son of God who became a man (the doctrine of kenosis). While it is interesting to investigate the theological concepts regarding the nature of Christ, to be fixated on that in this section is to miss Paul's point. Paul is exhorting the Philippians to be united through humble service to one another, and he points to Jesus as the ultimate example.
