Text adapted from the writings of evangelist Sam Jones. Bible references: KJV.

Christ Jesus . . . being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but . . . took upon him the form of a servant. . . . And, being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Wherefore, God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow . . . And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father. (Philippians 2:5–11)
