​PHILIPPIANS Chapter Two

5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

1)  6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not a thing to be grasped to be equal with God:

2) 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

3) 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

4) 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
 
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven,and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
