Philippians 2:5-13

New International Version

⁵In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:^(A)

⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,^(B)
    did not consider equality with God^(C) something to be used to his own advantage;
⁷rather, he made himself nothing^(D)
    by taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,^(E)
    being made in human likeness.^(F)
⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death^(G)—
        even death on a cross!^(H)

⁹Therefore God exalted him^(I) to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,^(J)
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,^(K)
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(L)
¹¹and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,^(M)
    to the glory of God the Father.

Do Everything Without Grumbling

¹²Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,^(N) ¹³for it is God who works in you^(O) to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.^(P)
