5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality
with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form
of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8 Being
found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 For this
reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name
which is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every
knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the
earth,11 and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11)

in her sixth month. 37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38

impossible for Him to be held in its power.”
25 “For David says of Him,
‘I saw the Lord always in my presence; for He is at my right hand,
so that I will not be shaken.’
26 ‘Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted, moreover
my flesh also will live in hope.
