Philippians 2:9-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. So God lifted him up to the highest place. He gave him the name that is above every name.

10. When the name of Jesus is spoken, everyone's knee will bow to worship him. Every knee in heaven and on earth and under the earth will bow to worship him.

11. Everyone's mouth will say that Jesus Christ is Lord. And God the Father will receive the glory.

12. My dear friends, you have always obeyed God. You obeyed while I was with you. And you have obeyed even more while I am not with you. So continue to work out your own salvation. Do it with fear and trembling.

13. God is working in you. He wants your plans and your acts to be in keeping with his good purpose.

14. Do everything without finding fault or arguing.

15. Then you will be pure and without blame. You will be children of God without fault in a sinful and evil world. Among the people of the world you shine like stars in the heavens.
