- Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
- but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
- And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!
- Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
- that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
|
- who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
- but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.
- Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,
- so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
