Isaiah 45:21-25

New King James Version

²¹Tell and bring forth your case;
Yes, let them take counsel together.
^(A)Who has declared this from ancient time?
Who has told it from that time?
Have not I, the Lord?
^(B)And there is no other God besides Me,
A just God and a Savior;
There is none besides Me.

²²“Look to Me, and be saved,
^(C)All you ends of the earth!
For I am God, and there is no other.
²³^(D)I have sworn by Myself;
The word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness,
And shall not return,
That to Me every ^(E)knee shall bow,
^(F)Every tongue shall take an oath.
²⁴He shall say,
^[a]‘Surely in the Lord I have ^(G)righteousness and strength.
To Him men shall come,
And ^(H)all shall be ashamed
Who are incensed against Him.
²⁵^(I)In the Lord all the descendants of Israel
Shall be justified, and ^(J)shall glory.’ ”

New King James Version

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

⁵^(A)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶who, ^(B)being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[a]robbery to be equal with God, ⁷^(C)but ^[b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(D)of a bondservant, and ^(E)coming in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(F)became ^(G)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. ⁹^(H)Therefore God also ^(I)has highly exalted Him and ^(J)given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰^(K)that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹and ^(L)that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

John 12:31-36

New King James Version

³¹Now is the judgment of this world; now ^(A)the ruler of this world will be cast out. ³²And I, ^(B)if I am ^[a]lifted up from the earth, will draw ^(C)all peoples to Myself.” ³³^(D)This He said, signifying by what death He would die.

³⁴The people answered Him, ^(E)“We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

³⁵Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer ^(F)the light is with you. ^(G)Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; ^(H)he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. ³⁶While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become ^(I)sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and ^(J)was hidden from them.
