Philippians 2:5-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,(A)
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(B)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(C)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(D)
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,(E)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(F)
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.(G)
Shining as Lights in the World
12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence but much more now in my absence, work on your own salvation with fear and trembling,(H) 13 for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmuring and arguing,(I) 15 so that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine like stars in the world,(J) 16 holding forth the word of life so that I can boast on the day of Christ that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.(K)
17 But even if I am being poured out as a libation over the sacrifice and the service of your faith, I rejoice, and I rejoice together with all of you;(L) 18 in the same way also you should rejoice and rejoice together with me.
