Filipi 2:3

2:3 Instead of being motivated by selfish ambition ¹  or vanity, each of you should, in humility, be moved to treat one another as more important than yourself.

Filipi 3:13

3:13 Brothers and sisters, ²  I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: ³  Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead,

Filipi 3:21

3:21 who will transform these humble bodies of ours ⁴  into the likeness of his glorious body by means of that power by which he is able to subject all things to himself.

[2:3]  ¹ tn Grk “not according to selfish ambition.” There is no main verb in this verse; the subjunctive φρονῆτε (fronhte, “be of the same mind”) is implied here as well. Thus, although most translations supply the verb “do” at the beginning of v. 3 (e.g., “do nothing from selfish ambition”), the idea is even stronger than that: “Don’t even think any thoughts motivated by selfish ambition.”

[3:13]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:12.

[3:13]  ³ tn Grk “But this one thing (I do).”

[3:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “transform the body of our humility.”
