Philippians 2:5-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:]

⁶ Who, although being essentially one with God and in the form of God [^[a]possessing the fullness of the attributes which make God God], did not ^[b]think this equality with God was a thing to be eagerly grasped ^[c]or retained,

⁷ But stripped Himself [of all privileges and ^[d]rightful dignity], so as to assume the guise of a servant (slave), in that He became like men and was born a human being.

⁸ And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

⁹ Therefore [because He stooped so low] God has highly exalted Him and has ^[e]freely bestowed on Him the name that is above every name,

¹⁰ That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee ^[f]should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹ And every tongue [^[g]frankly and openly] confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
