Philippians 2:6-11

6who, although He 1existed in the 2form of God, 3did not regard equality with God a thing to be 4grasped, 7but 56emptied Himself, taking the form of a 7bond-servant, and 8being made in the likeness of men. 8Being found in appearance as a man, 9He humbled Himself by becoming 10obedient to the point of death, even 11death 12on a cross. 913For this reason also, God 14highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him 15the name which is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus 16every knee will bow, of 17those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is 18Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
