Philippians 2:5-11
Let this mind be in you, as in Christ Jesus:
He lowered himself, in the form of a servant,
He humbled himself, obedient unto death,
The death of the cross.
Wherefore God hath highly exalted him,
And gave to him a name above all names;
That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow,
Of things in heaven, and things in earth,
And things under the earth;
And each tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, To the glory of God the Father.
- From the KJV and Wycliffe translations
