Philippians
The passage describes Christ humbling himself, taking the form of a servant, and becoming obedient to death on a cross: Philippians 2:6–8. It then says God highly exalted him and gave him the name above every name, so every knee bows and every tongue confesses Jesus Christ is Lord: Philippians 2:9–11.
5Have this in your mind, which was also in Christ Jesus,
6who, existing in the form of God, didn`t consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
8Being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
9Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
10that at the name of Jesus every knee would bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11and that every tongue would confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.
