If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ . . .

If you have any comfort from his love . . .

If you have any tenderness and compassion . . .

If you have any fellowship with his spirit . . .

. . . then be of one mind and work in agreement together with one another.

Do NOTHING out of selfish ambition. Pleasure from personal profit is evidence of a sinful nature. Instead, look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others. In fact, place their interests above yours. This is the will of Christ who, being in his very nature God, made himself nothing for us. This should also be your attitude. Philippians 2: 1-11

Temptation directs me towards what I understand to be good. When I yield to temptation, I make lust a god. God does not save us from temptation — God sustains us in the midst of temptation. Oswald Chambers
