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

5 You should have the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had,

6 who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself by taking on the form of a slave, by looking like other men, and by sharing in human nature. 8 He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death -- even death on a cross! 9 As a result God exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee will 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.
