English text
(Philippians 2:6-8)
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.
