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

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