Philippians 2:19-30
“The best friends are those who imitate our Lord Jesus in looking out for the interests, needs, and concerns of others. Such have been delivered from the bondage of self-obsession; they are free to live in self-forgetfulness, full of Christ’s grace, delighting to be servants of others.” —Sinclair Ferguson
