He emptied himself

5Have this mindset among yourselves, which was also in Christ Jesus,

6who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,

7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, becoming in the likeness of men; and being found in appearance as a man

8he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.

9Therefore God also highly exalted him and graciously gave him the name that is above every name,

10so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
