Paul encourages us to imitate these aspects of Jesus ’ attitude when he says: “Keep this mental attitude in you that was also in Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. ” ​ — Philippians 2: 5 - 7.
Pāvils mūs mudina veidot tādu pašu prāta nostāju, kāda bija Jēzum, rakstīdams: ” Savā starpā turiet tādu pat prātu, kāds ir arī Kristū Jēzū, kas Dieva veidā būdams, neturēja par laupījumu līdzināties Dievam, bet sevi iztukšoja, pieņemdams kalpa veidu, tapdams cilvēkiem līdzīgs. ”
