The Humbled and Exalted Christ
5 aLet this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,
6 who, abeing in the form of God, did not consider it1 robbery to be equal with God,
7 abut1 made Himself of no reputation, taking the form bof a bondservant, and ccoming in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and abecame bobedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
9 aTherefore God also bhas highly exalted Him and cgiven Him the name which is above every name,
10 athat at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
11 and athat every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Light Bearers
12 Therefore, my beloved, aas you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, bwork out your own salvation with cfear and trembling;
13 for ait is God who works in you both to will and to do bfor His good pleasure.
