Philippians 2:5-10

51Have this attitude 2in yourselves which was also in 3Christ Jesus,

6who, although He 4existed in the 5form of God, 6did not regard equality with God a thing to be 7grasped,

7but 89emptied Himself, taking the form of a 10bond-servant, and 11being made in the likeness of men.

8Being found in appearance as a man, 12He humbled Himself by becoming 13obedient to the point of death, even 14death 15on a cross.

916For this reason also, God 17highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him 18the name which is above every name,

10so that at the name of Jesus 19every knee will bow, of 20those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
