Philippians 2:12-18 - Holding Fast To The Word Of Life
12 So, my dear friends, as you have always been obedient, with reverence and awe make every effort to insure your salvation, not simply as though I were with you, but all the more because I am away. 13 For it is God who in his good will is at work in your hearts, inspiring your will and your action. 14 Do everything without any grumbling or disputing, 15 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, 16 offering men the message of life. Then I will have reason to boast of you on the Day of Christ, because my exertion and labor have not been wasted. 17 Even if my life is to be poured out as a libation as you offer your faith in a service of sacrifice to God, I am glad to have it so, and I congratulate you upon it, 18 just as you must be glad and congratulate me.
