2. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:1-3)
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. (Hebrews 1:10)

3. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. (Heb 2:17) For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. (Heb 2:18)

4. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (Phil 2:6) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (Phil 2:7) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. (Phil 2:8)

5. “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:” (1Pet 2:21)
