with your lives filled with the fruits which uprightness produces through Jesus Christ, to the honor and praise of God.

But if living on here means having my labor bear fruit, I cannot tell which to choose.

so that you will be blameless and honest, faultless children of God in the midst of a crooked and perverted age, in which you appear like stars in a dark world,

I am pressing toward the goal, for the prize to which God through Christ Jesus calls us upward.

But the commonwealth to which we belong is in heaven, and from it we are eagerly awaiting the coming of a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
