Shining as Lights

Philippians 2:12-18

Shining as Lights

12
Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and trembling work out your salvation.
13
For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
14
And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations:
15
That you may be blameless and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation: among whom you shine as lights in the world.
16
Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ: because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain.
17
Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all.
18
And for the selfsame thing, do you also rejoice and congratulate with me.
