Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus — the mind (phronesis, disposition, understanding) to be cultivated is already possessed 'in Christ Jesus' (en Christō Iēsō): they are already united in him. The phrase grounds the exhortation in their existing identity: they are not commanded to become something new but to actualize what they already are. 'Among yourselves' (en hymin) localizes this mind as shared corporate reality, not individual possession.
