We know (and I mean a great many scholars believe) that the epistle to the Philippians quoting the hymn was written by Paul between 50-62 CE. Which means that in the absolute worst case scenario JB3 is wrong. But the hymn definitely existed prior to Paul writing it and the wording and oral tradition carry it back to the point of the crucifixion.
