What does Philippians 2:4 mean?
"each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others."
— Philippians 2:4 (World English Bible)
Surrounding context
If therefore there is any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassion,
make my joy full, by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;
doing nothing through rivalry or through conceit, but in humility, each counting others better than himself;
each of you not just looking to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.
Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
who, existing in the form of God, didn’t consider equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
