Philippians 2:6-11 Though He was existing in the nature of God, He did not think His being on an equality with God a thing to be selfishly grasped,

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Though He was existing in the nature of God, He did not think His being on an equality with God a thing to be selfishly grasped, ⁷ but He laid it aside as He took on the nature of a slave and became like other men. ⁸ Because He was recognized as a man, in reality as well as in outward form, He finally humiliated Himself in obedience so as to die, even to die on a cross. ⁹ This is why God has highly exalted Him, and given Him the name that is above every other name, ¹⁰ so that in the name of Jesus everyone should kneel, in heaven, on earth, and in the underworld, ¹¹ and everyone should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the praise of God the Father.
