Philippians 2:5-11 - Christ's Humiliation And Exaltation

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

⁶ who, though from the beginning he had the nature of God, did not reckon equality with God something to be forcibly retained, ⁷ but emptied himself of his glory by taking the form of a slave, when he was born in the likeness of men. ⁸ More than this, after he had shone himself in human form, he humbled himself in his obedience even to death; yes, and to death on a cross. ⁹ And for this God highly exalted him, and graciously bestowed upon him the name which is above every name; ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee in heaven, on earth, and under the earth should bend, ¹¹ and every tongue confess that "Jesus Christ is Lord," to the glory of God the Father.
