Phil. 2:1-7  of no reputation
Gen. 32:24
Gen. 29:10  Jacob didn’t use his own name.  If you haven’t struggled with your identity, you haven’t realized you are out of joint, i.e. your identity is “the way of the snake”.  You/we are the way of the snake.
Gen. 32:27  Even after we realize who we really are, there is still a struggle.

Romans 4:13-14   Prudence and law say 1+1=2.  Faith says otherwise.
Isaiah 1:1-14  The Lord hates the feasts and sacrifices when the mystery is not seen.

1 Cor 1:10  be of one mind
1 Cor 9:15-19
2 Cor 9:1-4
Phil. 2:1  Made himself of “no reputation”, void, empty.  I.e. He saw its emptiness, he buried prudence, carefulness and lived by faith.
