Let each of you (A)look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. (B)Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,[a] (C)who, though he was in (D)the form of God, did not count equality with God (E)a thing to be grasped,[b] but (F)emptied himself, by taking the form of a (G)servant,[c] (H)being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by (I)becoming obedient to the point of death, (J)even death on a cross. (K)Therefore (L)God has (M)highly exalted him and bestowed on him (N)the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus (O)every knee should bow, (P)in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and (Q)every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is (R)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12 Therefore, my beloved, (S)as you have always (T)obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for (U)it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for (V)his good pleasure.
