Philipians 2:1-11 would be the point of reference for today.
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the spirit? Are your heart tender and compassionate? This are the questions brother Paul was asking the philipians when he visited them. He proceeded by saying, Dont be selfish, dont try to impress others, Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves, Dont look look for your own interest ,but an interest in others. This are the attributes of Jesus Christ which paul wants the philipians to covet which i think we need to have too as christains.
Brother paul further continues the apocalyse, though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to, instead He gave up his divine privileges, He took the humble position of a slave and was born as human being when He appeared in human form, He humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heavenand on earth and under the earth, and every tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
