^{9 Ref} Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

^{10 Ref} that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of `things' in heaven and `things' on earth and `things' under the earth,

^{11 Ref} and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

^{12 Ref} So then, my beloved, even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

^{13 Ref} for it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure.

^{14 Ref} Do all things without murmurings and questionings:

^{15 Ref} that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

^{16 Ref} holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.

^{17 Ref} Yea, and if I am offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all:

^{18 Ref} and in the same manner do ye also joy, and rejoice with me.

^{19 Ref} But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

^{20 Ref} For I have no man likeminded, who will care truly for your state.

^{21 Ref} For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.
