 Literal translation from Greek updated 1/15/2001

Translation: {5} This consider (with)in you, even which [is] in Christ: Concerning Jesus, {6} who, [though] existing in a form of G-d, did not regard equality with G-d as something that could be stolen. {7} But he emptied himself, taking [on] the form of a slave, becoming like humanity, even finding himself designed as a man, {8} he [further] humbled himself, becoming obedient until death, even a stake's death. {9} And therefore, G-d highly exalted him, and bestowed on him the name above every name, {10} so that in the name of Yahshua all might bend a knee, [all] in heavenly places, and [on] earth, even under the earth; {11} also, every tongue might profess that Yahshua Messiah [is the] Master to [the] glory of G-d [the] Father.

 

Paraphrase: Consider this about Messiah within yourselves: Yahshua, who, though existing in a form of G-d, didn't regard equality with G-d as a thing that could be stolen.  Rather, he emptied himself out, receiving the form of a slave - becoming human - discovering his design as a man.

He humbled himself further by being obedient to the death, even to a stake's death.  As a result, G-d lifted him above all, and bestowed upon him the Name above every name, so that in Yahshua's name all those in the heavens, and on earth, even those under the earth, might pay homage, and each tongue might profess that Yahshua Messiah is Master to the glory of G-d the Father.
