Philippians 2:5-11 (Translated from the Tischendorf Greek New Testament)

⁵ Have this same mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

⁶ who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God as something to hold onto tightly,

⁷ but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form,

⁸ He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

⁹ Therefore God also highly exalted Him and granted Him the name that is above every name,

¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹¹ and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
