Philippians 2:10

Jesus
Praise and worshipJesus Christ

8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross.

9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names,

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 beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now even more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
