Philippians 2 6 He was like God in every way, but he did not think that his being equal with God was something to use for his own benefit.} 7 Instead, he gave up everything, even his place with God. He accepted the role of a servant, appearing in human form. During his life as a man,} 8 he humbled himself by being fully obedient to God, even when that caused his death—death on a cross.} 9 So God raised him up to the most important place and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.} 10 God did this so that every person will bow down to honor the name of Jesus. Everyone in heaven, on earth, and under the earth will bow.}
