Philippians 2:12-18

Shining as Lights

12
So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out,
13
for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
14
All things do without murmurings and reasonings,
15
that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world,
16
the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;
17
but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all,
18
because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me.
