Philippians 2:5-11 [NIV]
5
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6
Who, being in very nature[1] God, did not consider equality with God something
to be grasped,
7
but made himself nothing, taking the very nature[2] of a servant, being made
in human likeness.
8
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient
to death-- even death on a cross!
9
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is
above every name,
10
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and
under the earth,
11
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
