Before the mountains were settled, before the hills I was brought forth: He had not made the earth or the fields or the highest part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there. When he circled the face of the deep: When he established the clouds above, when he strengthened the fountains of the deep, When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his command, when he appointed the foundations of the earth, Then I was beside him, as a master workman with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him. I rejoiced in the inhabited earth. My delights were with the sons of men. Listen to me, my children: for blessed are those who practice my ways. Hear instruction, do not refuse it and be wise. Blessed is the man who listens to me. He watches daily at my gates, waiting at my doorposts. Those who find me find life. They will receive favor from Jehovah. But he who sins against me wrongs himself. All who hate me love death.

Have this attitude (mind-set) (understanding) (mental state) in you that was also in Christ Jesus. He existed in the form (shape and nature) of God but did not try to be equal with God.
