ταπεινοφροσύνη

tapeinophrosyne

humility of mind, lowliness

Summary

ταπεινοφροσύνη ("humility of mind") in Philippians 2:3 is the disposition that leads to regarding others as more important than oneself. Paul makes this virtue the prerequisite for Christian unity, then grounds it in Christ's self-emptying — a direct challenge to hierarchical thinking that elevates one group over another.
