did not regard equality with God
as something to be exploited,

and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.

Praise the Lord!He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Yours, O Lord, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.Next verse!With image
