Philippians 2 Summary

Philippians 2 calls believers to Christlike humility, pointing to Jesus who emptied himself, and to shine as lights in the world.

Paul urges unity and humility—‘value others above yourselves’—and holds up Jesus, who ‘made himself nothing,’ obeying even to death on a cross, and was exalted above all.

Believers are to ‘work out their salvation,’ doing everything without grumbling, shining ‘like stars’ as they hold out the word of life.
