Philippians 2:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 who, as He already (A)existed in the (B)form of God, (C)did not consider equality with God something to be [a]grasped, 7 but [b](D)emptied Himself by taking the form of a (E)bond-servant and [c](F)being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, (G)He humbled Himself by becoming (H)obedient to the point of death: (I)death [d]on a cross.

Philippians 2:6-8
New International Version
6 Who, being in very nature[a] God,(A)
did not consider equality with God(B) something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing(C)
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,(D)
being made in human likeness.(E)
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death(F)—
even death on a cross!(G)

New American Standard Bible
16 for [a](A)by Him all things were created, (B)both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether (C)thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—(D)all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He [b](E)is before all things, and in Him all things [c]hold together. 18 He is also the (F)head of (G)the body, the church; and He is (H)the beginning, (I)the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For [d]it was (J)the Father’s good pleasure for all (K)the [e]fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to (L)reconcile all things to Himself, (M)whether things on earth or things in [f]heaven, having made (N)peace through (O)the blood of His cross.

16 For in him all things were created:(A) things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;(B) all things have been created through him and for him.(C) 17 He is before all things,(D) and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head(E) of the body, the church;(F) he is the beginning and the firstborn(G) from among the dead,(H) so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased(I) to have all his fullness(J) dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile(K) to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven,(L) by making peace(M) through his blood,(N) shed on the cross.
