Philippians 2:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

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.
