Thematic Bible: Jesus Christ being obedient


Thematic Bible



Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus, To whom, though himself in the form of God, it did not seem that to take for oneself was to be like God; But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men; read more.
And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.
