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)
