Philippians 2:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷Instead, he made himself nothing.
    He did this by taking on the nature of a servant.
    He was made just like human beings.
⁸He appeared as a man.
    He was humble and obeyed God completely.
    He did this even though it led to his death.
        Even worse, he died on a cross!

⁹So God lifted him up to the highest place.
God gave him the name that is above every name.
