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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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