Philippians 2:5-10

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

6who, as He already 4existed in the 5form of God, 6did not consider equality with God something to be 7grasped,

7but 89emptied Himself by taking the form of a 10bond-servant and 1112being born in the likeness of men.

8And being found in appearance as a man, 13He humbled Himself by becoming 14obedient to the point of death: 15death 16on a cross.

917For this reason also God 18highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him 19the name which is above every name,

10so that at the name of Jesus 20every knee will bow, of 21those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
