12 Therefore my beloved, just as ye have always obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God who works in you both to desire and to work for approval.
14 Do all things without grumblings and arguments,
15 so that ye may become blameless and pure children of God, blameless in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.
16 Holding firm the word of life, for a boast by me in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
