Philippians 2:5-8

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.
