Philippians 2:9-21

9 aTherefore bGod has chighly exalted him and bestowed on him dthe name that is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus eevery knee should bow, fin heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and gevery tongue confess that Jesus Christ is hLord, to the glory of God the Father.

Lights in the World

12Therefore, my beloved, ias you have always jobeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13for kit is God who works in you, both to will and to work for lhis good pleasure.

14Do all things mwithout grumbling or ndisputing, 15that you may be blameless and innocent, ochildren of God pwithout blemish qin the midst of ra crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine sas lights in the world, 16holding fast to tthe word of life, so that in uthe day of Christ vI may be proud that wI did not run in vain or labor in vain. 17Even if I am to be xpoured out as a drink offering upon ythe sacrificial offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. 18Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me.

Timothy and Epaphroditus

19I hope in the Lord Jesus zto send Timothy to you soon, so that I too may be cheered by news of you. 20For I have no one aalike him, who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare. 21For they all abseek their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ.
