Philippians 2:6-16

New American Standard Bible

⁶ who, as He already ^(A)existed in the ^(B)form of God, ^(C)did not consider equality with God something to be ^[a]grasped, ⁷ but ^[b](D)emptied Himself by taking the form of a ^(E)bond-servant and ^[c](F)being born in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, ^(G)He humbled Himself by becoming ^(H)obedient to the point of death: ^(I)death ^[d]on a cross. ^9 (J)For this reason also God ^(K)highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him ^(L)the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ so that at the name of Jesus ^(M)every knee will bow, of ^(N)those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is ^(O)Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

¹² So then, my beloved, ^(P)just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own ^(Q)salvation with ^(R)fear and trembling; ¹³ for it is ^(S)God who is at work in you, both to ^[e]desire and to work ^(T)for His good pleasure.

¹⁴ Do all things without ^(U)complaining or arguments; ¹⁵ so that you will ^[f]prove yourselves to be ^(V)blameless and innocent, ^(W)children of God above reproach in the midst of a ^(X)crooked and perverse generation, among whom you ^[g](Y)appear as ^[h]lights in the world, ¹⁶ holding firmly the word of life, so that on ^(Z)the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not ^(AA)run in vain nor ^(AB)labor in vain.
