Philippians 2:5-11

Philippians 2:5-11

[5] mind be  in  which  was also  in  Christ  Jesus:  [6] Who,  being  in  the form  of God,  thought it  not  robbery  equal  with God:  [7] But  himself  of no reputation,  and took upon him  the form  of a servant,  and was made  in  the likeness  of men:  [8] And  being found  in fashion  as  a man,  he humbled  himself,  and became  obedient  unto  death,  even  the death  of the cross.  [9] Wherefore  God  also  hath highly exalted  him,  and  given  him  a name  which  is above  every  name:  [10] That  at  the name  of Jesus  every  knee  should bow,  of things in heaven,  and  things in earth,  and  things under the earth;  [11] And  that every  tongue  should confess  that  Jesus  Christ  is Lord,  to  the glory  of God  the Father.
