Philippians 2:5-15
51HaveG5426 thisG3778 attitudeG5426 2in yourselvesG4771 whichG3739 was alsoG2532 in 3ChristG5547 JesusG2424, 6whoG3739, as He already 4existedG5225 in the 5formG3444 of GodG2316, 6did not considerG2233 equalityG2470 with GodG2316 somethingG725 toG725 beG725 7graspedG725, 7but 89emptiedG2758 HimselfG1438 by takingG2983 the formG3444 of a 10bond-servantG1401 and 1112beingG1096 bornG1096 in the likenessG3667 of menG444. 8And being foundG2147 in appearanceG4976 as a manG444, 13He humbledG5013 HimselfG1438 by becomingG1096 14obedientG5255 to the pointG3360 of deathG2288: 15deathG2288 16on a crossG4716. 917For thisG1352 reasonG1352 alsoG2532 GodG2316 18highlyG5251 exaltedG5251 Him, and bestowedG5483 on Him 19the nameG3686 which is aboveG5228 everyG3956 nameG3686, 10soG2443 thatG2443 at the nameG3686 of JesusG2424 20everyG3956 kneeG1119 will bowG2578, of 21those who are inG2032 heavenG2032 and onG1919 earthG1919 and underG2709 theG2709 earthG2709, 11and that everyG3956 tongueG1100 will confessG1843 that JesusG2424 ChristG5547 is 22LordG2962, to the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 the FatherG3962.
12SoG5620 thenG5620, my belovedG27, 23justG2531 asG2531 you have alwaysG3842 obeyedG5219, not as in my presenceG3952 onlyG3440, but nowG3568 muchG4183 moreG3123 in my absenceG666, workG2716 outG2716 your ownG1438 24salvationG4991 with 25fearG5401 and tremblingG5156; 13for it is 26GodG2316 who isG1754 atG1754 workG1754 in you, bothG2532 to 27desireG2309 and to workG1754 28for His goodG2107 pleasureG2107.
14DoG4160 allG3956 thingsG3956 withoutG5565 29complainingG1112 orG2532 argumentsG1261; 15soG2443 thatG2443 you will 30proveG1096 yourselves to be 31blamelessG273 and innocentG185, 32childrenG5043 of GodG2316 aboveG299 reproachG299 in the midstG3319 of a 33crookedG4646 and perverseG1294 generationG1074, amongG1722 whomG3739 you 3435appearG5316 as 36lightsG5458 in the worldG2889,
