Philippians 2:6-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(A)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(B)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(C)
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,(D)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(E)
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.(F)

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah
1 An account[a] of the genealogy[b] of Jesus the Messiah,[c] the son of David, the son of Abraham.(A)
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,(B) 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Aram,(C) 4 and Aram the father of Aminadab, and Aminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of King David.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,(D) 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph,[d](E) 8 and Asaph[e] the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos,[f] and Amos[g] the father of Josiah,(F) 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.(G)
12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel,(H) 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, who bore Jesus, who is called the Messiah.[h](I)
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah,[i] fourteen generations.
