Philippians 2:12-16

So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

for it is God who is at work in you, both to desire and to work for His good pleasure.

Do all things without complaining or arguments;

so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

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