7But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;
8And being seen in form as a man, he took the lowest place, and let himself be put to death, even the death of the cross.
9For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;
10So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,
11And that every tongue may give witness that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;
13For it is God who is the cause of your desires and of your acts, for his good pleasure.
