⁶ Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
    did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷ rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
    being made in human likeness.^(F)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
        even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.

²² “Turn^(A) to me and be saved,^(B)
    all you ends of the earth;^(C)
    for I am God, and there is no other.^(D)
23 By myself I have sworn,^(E)
    my mouth has uttered in all integrity^(F)
    a word that will not be revoked:^(G)
Before me every knee will bow;^(H)
    by me every tongue will swear.^(I)
24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone
    are deliverance^(J) and strength.^(K)’”
All who have raged against him
    will come to him and be put to shame.^(L)
