Christus factus est [Christ became obedient] (Philippians 2: 8-9) – Giovanni Matteo Asola

Philippians 2:8-9 [Latin] – He humbled himself, becoming [Christ became] obedient for us unto death, even to the death on the cross. Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him a name which is above all names.

Original Latin:

Christus factus est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum et dedit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen.
