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.
