Philippians 2:5-10

51HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 2in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 3ChristG5547 JesusG2424,

6whoG3739, although He 4existedG5225 in the 5formG3444 of GodG2316, 6did not regardG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 a thingG725 to be 7graspedG725,

7but 89emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438, takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 10bond-servantG1401, and 11beingG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444.

8Being foundG2147 in appearanceG4976 as a manG444, 12He humbledG5013 HimselfG1438 by becomingG1096 13obedientG5255 to the pointG3360 of deathG2288, evenG1161 14deathG2288 15on a crossG4716.

916For thisG1352 reasonG1352 alsoG2532, GodG2316 17highlyG5251 exaltedG5251 Him, and bestowedG5483 on Him 18the nameG3686 which is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686,

10soG2443 that at the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 19everyG3956 kneeG1119 will bowG2578, of 20those who are in heavenG2032 and on earthG1919 and underG2709 the earthG2709,
