Philippians 2:12-16

12So then, my beloved, 1just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your 2salvation with 3fear and trembling; 13for it is 4God who is at work in you, both to will and to work 5for His good pleasure.

14Do all things without 6grumbling or disputing; 15so that you will 7prove yourselves to be 8blameless and innocent, 9children of God above reproach in the midst of a 10crooked and perverse generation, among whom you 11 12appear as 13lights in the world, 16holding 14fast the word of life, so that in 15the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not 16run in vain nor 17toil in vain.
