Philippians 2:6-11
International Standard Version
6 In God’s own form existed he,
and shared with God equality,
deemed nothing needed grasping.
7 Instead, poured out in emptiness,
a servant’s form did he possess,
a mortal man becoming.
In human form he chose to be,
8 and lived in all humility,
death on a cross obeying.
9 Now lifted up by God to heaven,
a name above all others given,
this matchless name possessing.
10 And so, when Jesus’ name is called,
the knees of everyone should fall,[a]
wherever they’re residing.[b]
11 Then every tongue in one accord,
will say that Jesus the Messiah[c] is Lord,
while God the Father praising.
