Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking
the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance
as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
9Therefore God exalted him
to the highest place
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
10that at the name of
Jesus
every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
11and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians
2:6-11
