12 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.
14 Do all things without murmuring and disputing,
15 that ye may be faultless, and pure, and the sons of God; without rebuke in the midst of a crooked and a perverse nation, among which see that ye shine as lights in the world,
16 holding fast the word of life, unto my rejoicing in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither have laboured in vain.
