51HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 2in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 3ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 6whoG3739, although He 4existedG5225 in the 5formG3444 of GodG2316, 6did not regardG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 a thingG725 to be 7graspedG725, 7but 89emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438, takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 10bond-servantG1401, and 11beingG1096 madeG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444. 8Being foundG2147 in appearanceG4976 as a manG444, 12He humbledG5013 HimselfG1438 by becomingG1096 13obedientG5255 to the pointG3360 of deathG2288, evenG1161 14deathG2288 15on a crossG4716. 916For thisG1352 reasonG1352 alsoG2532, GodG2316 17highlyG5251 exaltedG5251 Him, and bestowedG5483 on Him 18the nameG3686 which is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686, 10soG2443 that at the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 19everyG3956 kneeG1119 will bowG2578, of 20those who are in heavenG2032 and on earthG1919 and underG2709 the earthG2709, 11and that everyG3956 tongueG1100 will confessG1843 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is 21LordG2962, to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
12SoG5620 thenG5620, my belovedG27, 22justG2531 as you have alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, not as in my presenceG3952 onlyG3440, but nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 in my absenceG666, workG2716 out your 23salvationG4991 with 24fearG5401 and tremblingG5156; 13for it is 25GodG2316 who is at workG1754 in you, bothG2532 to willG2309 and to workG1754 26for His goodG2107 pleasureG2107.
14DoG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 withoutG5565 27grumblingG1112 orG2532 disputingG1261; 15soG2443 that you will 28proveG1096 yourselves to be 29blamelessG273 and innocentG185, 30childrenG5043 of GodG2316 aboveG299 reproachG299 in the midstG3319 of a 31crookedG4646 and perverseG1294 generationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 you 3233appearG5316 as 34lightsG5458 in the worldG2889,
