Philippians 2:6-11

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

6 He always had the nature of God, but he did not think that by force he should try to remain equal with God.

7 Instead of this, of his own free will he gave up all he had, and took the nature of a servant. He became like a human being and appeared in human likeness.

8 He was humble and walked the path of obedience all the way to death - his death on the cross.

9 For this reason God raised him to the highest place above and gave him the name that is greater than any other name.

10 And so, in honor of the name of Jesus all beings in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will fall on their knees,

11 and all will openly proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

New International Version NIV

6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;

7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!

9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,

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

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