A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Phillipians.
If our life in Christ means anything to you, if love can persuade at all, or the Spirit that we have in common, or any tenderness and sympathy, then be united your convictions and united in your love, with a common purpose and common mind.
That is the one thing, which would make me completely happy. There must be no competition among you, no conceit: but everybody is to be self-effacing. Always consider the other person to be better than yourself, so that nobody thinks of his own interest first but everybody thinks of other people's interests instead. In your minds you must be the same as Christ Jesus.
