Philippians

¹⁰so that at the name of Jesusevery knee will bow – in heaven and on earth and under the earth – ¹¹and every tongue confessthat Jesus Christ is Lordto the glory of God the Father. ¹²So then, my dear friends, just as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence but even more in my absence, continue working out your salvation with awe and reverence, ¹³for the one bringing forth in you both the desire and the effort – for the sake of his good pleasure – is God. ¹⁴Do everything without grumbling or arguing, ¹⁵so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish though you live in a crooked and perverse society, in which you shine as lights in the world ¹⁶by holding on to the word of life so that on the day of Christ I will have a reason to boast that I did not run in vain nor labor in vain.
