Have this mind among yourselves,

which is yours in Christ Jesus,

who,

though he was in the form of God,

did not count equality with God

a thing to be grasped,

 

but emptied himself,

by taking the form

of a servant, being born

in the likeness of men. 

 

And being found in human form,

he humbled himself by 

becoming obedient to the point

of death, even death on a cross. 

 

Therefore

God has highly exalted him

and bestowed on 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 confess 

that

 

Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.
