Philippians 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 who, as He already (A)existed in the (B)form of God, (C)did not consider equality with God something to be [a]grasped, 7 but [b](D)emptied Himself by taking the form of a (E)bond-servant and [c](F)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, (G)He humbled Himself by becoming (H)obedient to the point of death: (I)death [d]on a cross.

Colossians 1:16-20
New American Standard Bible
16 for [a](A)by Him all things were created, (B)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether (C)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—(D)all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [b](E)is before all things, and in Him all things [c]hold together. 18 He is also the (F)head of (G)the body, the church; and He is (H)the beginning, (I)the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For [d]it was (J)the Father’s good pleasure for all (K)the [e]fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to (L)reconcile all things to Himself, (M)whether things on earth or things in [f]heaven, having made (N)peace through (O)the blood of His cross.
