5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto death, euen the death of the Crosse.
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name which is aboue euery name:
10That at the Name of Iesus euery knee should bow, of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth:
