6who, existing in the form of God, didn`t consider it robbery to be equal with God,
7but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men.
8Being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross.
9Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
10that at the name of Jesus every knee would bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11and that every tongue would confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God, the Father.
12So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
