Philippians 2:5-11
Common English Bible
5 Adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus:
6 Though he was in the form of God,
he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit.
7 But he emptied himself
by taking the form of a slave
and by becoming like human beings.
When he found himself in the form of a human,
8 he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God highly honored him
and gave him a name above all names,
10 so that at the name of Jesus everyone
in heaven, on earth, and under the earth might bow
11 and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:5-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,(A)
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(B)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(C)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(D)
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,(E)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(F)
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.(G)
