Philippians 2:7-11

Living Bible

⁷but laid aside his mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men.^[a] ⁸And he humbled himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal’s death on a cross.^[b]

⁹Yet it was because of this that God raised him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other name, ¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
