Philippians 2:5-16

Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God  as something to be exploited.  Instead he emptied himself  by assuming the form of a servant,  taking on the likeness of humanity.  And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death — even to death on a cross.  For this reason God highly exalted him  and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow   — in heaven  and on earth and under the earth   — and every tongue  will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory  of God the Father. Therefore, my dear friends,  just as you have always obeyed,  so now, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling  and arguing,  so that you may be blameless  and pure,  children of God who are faultless  in a crooked  and perverted  generation,  among whom you shine like stars in the world, by holding firm to the word  of life. Then I can boast  in the day of Christ  that I didn’t run or labor for nothing.
