In Philippians 2 Paul recites what many believe are the words to an ancient Christian hymn, the Carmen Christi
Though I may write more about this later, I think for now I’ll just let this hymn speak for itself:
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God
a thing to be grasped,
but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient
to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him
the 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.
Philippians 2:5-11 (ESV)
