Philippians 2:12-16

12My dear friends, you have always obeyed, not only when I was with you but even more now that I’m absent. In the same way continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

13It is God who produces in you the desires and actions that please him.

14Do everything without complaining or arguing.

15Then you will be blameless and innocent. You will be God’s children without any faults among people who are crooked and corrupt. You will shine like stars among them in the world

16as you hold firmly to the word of life. Then I can brag on the day of Christ that my effort was not wasted and that my work produced results.
