Philippians 2:7-11
New Living Translation
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[a];
he took the humble position of a slave[b]
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[c]
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:7-11
New King James Version
7 (A)but [a]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form (B)of a bondservant, and (C)coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and (D)became (E)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 (F)Therefore God also (G)has highly exalted Him and (H)given Him the name which is above every name, 10 (I)that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and (J)that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
