SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:5
Haya, pues, en vosotros este sentir que hubo tambin en el Cristo Jess;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Philippians 2:5
Verse 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus] Christ laboured to promote no separate interest; as man he studied to promote the glory of God, and the welfare and salvation of the human race. See then that ye have the same disposition that was in Jesus: he was ever humble, loving, patient, and labourious; his meat and drink was to do the will of his Father, and to finish his work.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Let this mind be in you , etc.] The Arabic version renders it, let that humility be perceived in you. The apostle proposes Christ as the great pattern and exemplar of humility; and instances in his assumption of human nature, and in his subjection to all that meanness, and death itself, even the death of the cross in it; and which he mentions with this view, to engage the saints to lowliness of mind, in imitation of him; to show forth the same temper and disposition of mind in their practice, which also was in Christ Jesus ; or as the Syriac version, think ye the same thing as Jesus Christ; let the same condescending spirit and humble deportment appear in you as in him. This mind, affection, and conduct of Christ, may refer both to his early affection to his people, the love he bore to them from everlasting, the resolution and determination of his mind in consequence of it; and his agreement with his Father to take upon him their nature in the fulness of time, and to do his will, by obeying, suffering, and dying in their room and stead; and also the open exhibition and execution of all this in time, when he appeared in human nature, poor, mean, and abject; condescending to the lowest offices, and behaving in the most meek and humble manner, throughout the whole of his life, to the moment of his death.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - The example of our Lord Jesus Christ is set before us. We must resembl him in his life, if we would have the benefit of his death. Notice the two natures of Christ; his Divine nature, and human nature. Who being in the form of God, partaking the Divine nature, as the eternal an only-begotten Son of God, Joh 1:1, had not thought it a robbery to be equal with God, and to receive Divine worship from men. His huma nature; herein he became like us in all things except sin. Thus low, or his own will, he stooped from the glory he had with the Father befor the world was. Christ's two states, of humiliation and exaltation, ar noticed. Christ not only took upon him the likeness and fashion, or form of a man, but of one in a low state; not appearing in splendour His whole life was a life of poverty and suffering. But the lowest ste was his dying the death of the cross, the death of a malefactor and slave; exposed to public hatred and scorn. The exaltation was of Christ's human nature, in union with the Divine. At the name of Jesus not the mere sound of the word, but the authority of Jesus, all shoul pay solemn homage. It is to the glory of God the Father, to confes that Jesus Christ is Lord; for it is his will, that all men shoul honour the Son as they honour the Father, Joh 5:23. Here we see suc motives to self-denying love as nothing else can supply. Do we thu love and obey the Son of God?

Vincent's NT Word Studies
5. Let this mind be in you (touto froneisqw en umin). Lit., let this be thought in you. The correct reading, however, is froneite, lit., "think this in yourselves." Rev., have this mind in you.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:5 {Have this mind in you} (touto phroneite en humin). "Keep on thinking this in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (ho kai en Christ"i iesou). What is that? Humility. Paul presents Jesus as the supreme example of humility. He urges humility on the Philippians as the only way to secure unity.
