Philippians 2:7-12

But made himself of {g} no reputation, and took upon him the {h} form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

(g) He brought himself from all things, as it were to nothing. (h) By taking our manhood upon him. {3} Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a {i} name which is above every name:

(3) He shows the most glorious even of Christ's submission, to teach us that modesty is the true way to true praise and glory. (i) Dignity and high distinction, and that which accompanies it. That at the name of Jesus {k} every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;

(k) All creatures will at length be subject to Christ. And [that] {l} every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

(l) Every nation. {4} Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, {m} work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

(4) The conclusion: we must go on to salvation with humility and submission by the way of our vocation. (m) He is said to make an end of his salvation who runs in the race of righteousness.
