Philippians 2:6-12

Modern English Version

⁶ who, being in the form of God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.
⁷ But He emptied Himself,
    taking upon Himself the form of a servant,
    and was made in the likeness of men.
⁸ And being found in the form of a man,
    He humbled Himself
    and became obedient to death,
        even death on a cross.
⁹ Therefore God highly exalted Him
    and gave Him the name which is above every name,
¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
¹¹ and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.^[a]
