yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in
the form of God, did not count equality with

name that is above every name, so that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
