Philippians 2:6-12
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Who being in the [a]form of God, [b]thought it no robbery to be [c]equal with God:
7 But he made himself of [d]no reputation, and took on him the [e]form of a servant, and was made like unto men, and was found in shape as a man.
8 He humbled himself, and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.
9 [f]Wherefore God hath also highly exalted him, and given him a [g]name above every name.
10 That at the Name of Jesus should [h]every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.
11 And that [i]every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, unto the glory of God the Father.
12 [j]Wherefore my beloved, as ye have always obeyed me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in mine absence, so [k]make an end of your own salvation with fear and trembling.
