Philippians 2:15

13 For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good purpose.

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing,

so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

16 as you hold forth the word of life, in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.

17 But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with all of you.
