6 Who, being in very nature
God,
did not consider equality
with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature
of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance
as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to
death —
even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted
him to the highest place
and gave him the name that
is above every name,
10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the
Father. Philippians 2:6-11
