Philippians 2:14-17

14Do all things without 1complaining or arguments;

15so that you will 2prove yourselves to be 3blameless and innocent, 4children of God above reproach in the midst of a 5crooked and perverse generation, among whom you 6 7appear as 8lights in the world,

16holding firmly the word of life, so that on 9the day of Christ I can take pride because I did not 10run in vain nor 11labor in vain.

17But even if I am being 12poured out as a drink offering upon 13the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and share my joy with you all.
