Philippians 2:12-15
12 Wherefore,
my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For
it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do
all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be
blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a
crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world
I.
