Philippians 2:5-11
King James Version
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:5-11
Amplified Bible
5 Have this same attitude in yourselves which was in Christ Jesus [look to Him as your example in selfless humility], 6 who, although He existed in the form and unchanging essence of God [as One with Him, possessing the fullness of all the divine attributes—the entire nature of deity], did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped or asserted [as if He did not already possess it, or was afraid of losing it]; 7 but emptied Himself [without renouncing or diminishing His deity, but only temporarily giving up the outward expression of divine equality and His rightful dignity] by assuming the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men [He became completely human but was without sin, being fully God and fully man]. 8 After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus [a]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(A) 11 and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

Filipenses 2:5-11
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
5 Haya, pues, en[a] ustedes esta actitud que hubo también en Cristo Jesús(A), 6 el cual, aunque existía en forma de Dios(B), no consideró el ser igual a Dios(C) como algo a qué aferrarse, 7 sino que se despojó a Sí mismo[b](D) tomando forma de siervo(E), haciéndose[c] semejante a los hombres(F). 8 Y hallándose en forma de hombre, se humilló Él mismo(G), haciéndose obediente hasta la muerte(H), y muerte de cruz(I). 9 Por lo cual Dios también lo exaltó(J) hasta lo sumo, y le confirió el nombre que es sobre todo nombre(K), 10 para que al[d] nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla(L) de los que están en el cielo, y en la tierra(M), y debajo de la tierra, 11 y toda lengua confiese que Jesucristo es Señor(N), para gloria de Dios Padre.
