9 but we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower[a] than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God[b] he might taste death for everyone.(A)
10 It was fitting that God,[c] for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through sufferings.(B) 11 For the one who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one Father.[d] For this reason Jesus[e] is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters,(C) 12 saying,
“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters;
in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.”(D)
13 And again,
“I will put my trust in him.”
And again,
“Here am I and the children whom God has given me.”(E)

Philippians 2:6-8

6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(A)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(B)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(C)
