who, though he existed in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be grasped,(B)
but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    assuming human likeness.

    and became obedient to the point of death—

    that is above every other name,(E)

    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)
