ACC ~ Philippians 2 v5

THE MIND YOU ARE TO HAVE AMONG YOURSELVES. MARIUS VICTORINUS: Above he has given two injunctions, first that they should delight in humility, then that they should think not only of their own affairs but of those of others. Then he says, “Have this mind among yourselves that was in Christ Jesus.” Which of these two then do we take to have been manifested in Christ Jesus? One or the other or both? For the first, his humility, is manifest, since Christ humbled himself and assumed the character of a slave. But the second injunction could be here as well, since he bore this for others and thought of others rather than of himself. EPISTLE TO THE PHILIPPIANS 2.6-8.

THE MIND THAT WAS IN JESUS CHRIST. CHRYSOSTOM: Our Lord Jesus Christ, when urging his disciples to undertake great works, makes himself an example…. This too the blessed Paul does, bringing Christ before their eyes when he urges them to practice humility. … For nothing so sustains the great and philosophic soul in the performance of good works as learning that through this one is becoming like God.
