8

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!

that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11

and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

12

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
