Fratres : Hoc enim sentíte in vobis, quod et in Christo Jesu: qui,
cum in forma Dei esset non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo: sed
semetípsum exinanívit, formam servi accípiens, in similitúdinem hóminum
factus, et hábitu invéntus ut homo. Humiliávit semetípsum, factus obédiens
usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltávit
illum, et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen: ut in nómine Jesu omne genu flectátur cæléstium, terréstrium, et
infernórum: et omnis lingua confiteátur, quia Dóminus Jesus Christus in
glória est Dei Patris.

Brethren:
yours is to be the same mind which Christ Jesus showed. His nature is, from
the first, divine, and yet He did not see, in the rank of Godhead, a prize
to be coveted; He dispossessed Himself, and took the nature of a slave,
fashioned in the likeness of men, and presenting Himself to us in human
form; and then He lowered His own dignity, accepted an obedience which
brought Him to death, death on a cross. That is why God has raised Him
to such a height, given Him that name which is greater than any other name; So that everything in heaven and on earth
and under the earth must bend the knee before the name of Jesus, and every
tongue must confess Jesus Christ as the Lord, dwelling in the glory of God
the Father.
