12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

13 For it is God that worketh in you according to his good pleasure, both to will and to do.

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and simple, the sons of God, unrebukable, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world,

16 Holding fast the word of life, that I may glory in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
